every piano is different.
I offer a range of services to meet your budget and your piano’s needs.
Tuning
Brings your piano back in tune so that it sounds clear and balanced.
$150
Tuning & Touch
(RECOMMENDED)
Includes a full tuning and targeted adjustments to the piano’s inner mechanism to improve the keys’ touch and responsiveness.
$250
complete service
Full tuning, plus a full regulation of the aftertouch of all keys. This will dramatically improve the feel of the piano and give it a professional-level consistency across the keyboard.
$700
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.
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
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
I am certified by Dampp-Chaser to install and maintain Piano Life Saver systems.

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 do not currently do total rebuilds or refinishing, which would require moving the piano.
-
I am not currently involved in the business of buying, selling, or refurbishing pianos.

While they may look similar to pianos, digital keyboards and organs are totally different instruments on the inside which have different maintenance requirements.
