FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As you may know, there are 208 to 215 strings to tune in any piano. I charge a fair flat-rate fee of 150.00. To be competitive, will match any price out there. This includes, if applicable, pitch raises within 20 cents +- A440. Travel allowance to be applied if further than 15 miles.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Need 1 to 3 hrs blocked time for tuning to cover for pitch raise. Most tunings are done in an hour and a half to two hours. A quiet environment will be needed as all testing is done by ear.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
