Level I Tuning ($200) - 1.5hrs - This applies to pianos that are tuned on a regular basis and are within 8ç of standard pitch. Level II Tuning ($250) - 2hrs - This applies to pianos that haven't been tuned in some time (usually over 1.5-2 years) and are ~8ç or more beyond standard pitch/A440.

- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to learn the story of each piano! How long has it belonged to you? Did you inherit it? How often do you play? Do you take lessons? When was the last time you had it tuned? Do you notice any strange sounds? (clicks, squeaks, etc.) What do you wish could be better?
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've studied and continue to study under a 2nd generation senior technician/tuner of 20+ years.
