FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer the most competitive rate for piano tuning in the Washington DC metro area: a minimum fee of $170 (estimate) for a top quality tuning service fully customized to your own piano. Pianos that have not been tuned in a long time may need a pitch adjustment for a surcharge of $75-$150 depending on the condition of the piano. I will be able to determine the need for pitch adjustment once I hear the piano.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I seek from my new customers information about the piano, how often is played, and the last regular tuning performed. I also share details of the tuning session, including average time needed to complete the job, any potential additional adjustments, and ask for any other additional information that will help achieving the best outcome from a customized tuning session. I also offer various options about my availability to perform the tuning so the customer can choose the most convenient day and time.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I have provided my tuning and piano maintenance/repair services to individual owners, schools, music academies, and churches.
