Piano Tuning
Fine Tune: Adjust each tuning pin 1 time ~ $145. - Good for most in-home pianos that have been tuned within the last 12 months.
Pitch Adjustment: Adjust each tuning pin twice (includes Fine Tune) ~$195 ~ this is appropriate for pianos that have not been tuned in 2+ years. (And, for some that are very out of pitch, a follow-up in 3-4 weeks for another tuning). this is also appropriate for customers with sensitivity to pitch who need their instrument to hold a more exact tolerance until the next tuning appointment.
