Rates / Fees
Tuning and Minor Pitch Adjustment: $180.00 + Milage Fee
Ken was trained in Boston to tune by ear, so when Northwestern University tapped him to be their head technician, Ken was able to use this old fashioned craftsmanship to work with their great piano faculty and the many visiting artists, including Y-Yo Ma, Renée Fleming, Stephen Huff, and Daniel Barenboim. When electronic tuning devices became more sophisticated, Ken added the best of these to his skillset. The result is a superior combination of human judgement and electronic consistency.
John trained as an apprentice in his uncle’s business, the Steinway & Sons Factory Rebuilding Facility. Since moving to our area and joining the Piano Technicians Guild, he has continued his education at every opportunity. He has passed a mock tuning exam administered by Ken, and will soon be tested for official RPT certification. This includes the ability to tune by ear so that false readings from electronic devices can be detected.
Catch-up or Extended Service: $400.00
This extended service will transform your piano and is recommended for pianos that have gone for several years without tuning and includes repairs. This allows the technician time to do much more than just tuning depending on the need to the piano and the client. This is for getting your piano back into shape! This service takes up to three hours.
