Every piano is different.
What can I do for yours?
I offer a range of services to meet your budget and your piano’s needs.
Basic Service
Simply focusing on the sound of your piano through tuning and some basic voicing.
$140
Essential Service
In addition to tuning, includes some limited regulation, which helps your piano function correctly and feel better to play.
$250
Focused Service
(RECOMMENDED)
In addition to tuning, your whole piano will receive regulating to a basic level that is great for most piano owners.
$400
Premium Service
In addition to tuning, your whole piano will receive a complete regulation; there will be a night-and-day difference.
$700
Spinet Service
The design of drop-action spinet pianos provide challenges to regulation, but this service (which includes tuning) will offer a considerable improvement.
$300
Ultimate Service
(Grand pianos only)
Your piano will receive concert-level regulating that addresses the minute details.
$950
Pitch Adjustment
For all of the services listed here, if your piano’s pitch has fallen further than 30 cents flat on average, an additional rough tuning will be required for the tuning to be stable.
Add $70
Additional Services
Voicing
Is your piano sounding too bright and tinny? Or perhaps too muffled? Voicing can fix that. Some basic voicing is offered with every tuning, but this service will improve the tone of all 88 keys.
$200
Repairs
Keys stuck down? Broken hammers, strings, or case parts? Short of total rebuilds, I can probably fix it.
Each repair is unique, and I will quote a price once the full scope of the repair is assessed.
Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver System Installation
The Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver is a high-tech, low-maintenance humidity control system which maintains a constant and ideal humidity level around your piano’s soundboard. Humidity changes are the main reason pianos go out of tune, and the Piano Life Saver can both prolong the integrity of each tuning as well as your piano’s lifespan.
The quoted price includes the price of the Piano Life Saver system, installation cost, and required tuning a month after install.
$950
Key Top Replacement
Is your piano’s keyboard looking rough, with yellowed, chipped, or missing key tops? I can replace them and make your keys look brand-new. White plastic and imitation ivory keys are available.
$800 for white key tops
$200 for black key tops
I am certified by Dampp-Chaser to install and maintain Piano Life Saver systems.

This is a service I would love to provide in the future.
To my knowledge, there are no local movers dedicated to moving pianos, so for now, you will have to turn to one of the local furniture moving companies.
-
I am primarily a field technician, and I do not have the physical space needed to rebuild pianos.
-
I am not currently involved in the business of buying or selling pianos, primarily because I do not have the space required to store them.
-
While they may look similar to pianos, digital keyboards and organs are totally different instruments on the inside which have different maintenance requirements that are outside my skillset.
