Maintaining your piano's tuning not only makes for beautiful music, it can also pay for itself in the long run by preventing major repairs. Your piano's sound board was designed to be under tension with a high degree of precision. Beyond regular wear and tear, major deviations in sound board tension can result in unexpected damage. Have your piano tuned at least once per year, and consider seasonal tuning.
The standard tuning rate applies to tuning only. Deviations in pitch greater than fifty cents require a pitch raise.
If your piano is off by more than fifty cents or half a semitone (which is usually a result of long overdue tuning), we will need to schedule a lengthier appointment to bring your piano back into a reasonable pitch range prior to fine tuning. A follow-up standard tuning is also recommended to help stabilize the pitch. First-time clients may be eligible for the standard tuning rate. Please inquire.
The above rates apply to tuning only. Minor repairs may be quoted and invoiced separately, including material and/or labour expenses. Major repairs may require the services of a guild technician.
The above rates are inclusive of travel for local service calls. Long distance service calls (>20km radius from downtown Sudbury) are subject to the standard Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) per km vehicle rate.
