When a piano has not been tuned regularly, it may require two tunings. I offer a DOUBLE TUNING which means two tunings on the same visit to get it up to standard pitch—basically, a pitch raise and a tuning. I do this in recording studios, where the piano is flat and needs to be perfect. For an extra $40, I’m running over your piano one more time.

These rates are based on frequency. Please contact me to discuss prices. Group Rates: Discounts for more than one tuning at the same location.

Certificate good for “One Hour with the Happy Piano Tuner” Birthdays, Hanukkah, Christmas, Julliard Acceptance, etc. Call for more info.
