Piano tuning - costs?

[Anonymous]

How much do you pay to have your piano tuned? We just purchased a used Yamaha and it has not been tuned in some years.

Thanks.

I think basic tuning is about $150. If yours hasn't been tuned in a while, it might need some other work ( can't remember, but the technical term may be "regulating"). A certain amount of work beyond straight tuning is included in the basic fee, but possibly could go up from the basic fee. Fees vary, so you can comparison shop.

Thanks. The guy quoted me 165 for the initial tuning, with the possibility of additional fees ($30 - $40) if additional work is needed..

I will do a little comparison shopping for sure. Thanks!

We use Dennis Monke and it's around $150. And he's very good: 301-982-0866.

Guy named Michael Hugo tuned ours last week. $100.

It's more if you want him to take it up a pitch. But he got our 1999 Yamaha up to A.

I used Tom Wright 240-383-9345. He is working for the Catholic University. Our piano has not been tuned in 4 years. He charged $140 + extra $ 40 ( because he had t o re-tune it three times). He did an amazing job and he was for about 3 hours at our place. I highly recommend him. The children are practicing so much since the sound is beautiful. I will never ever let pass more than 6 months before another tuning.

Our son's piano teacher recommended Roger Piano Tuning. 1-800-877-2749. He charges $70-$80. We've had our piano tuned several times. Our son's teacher has a Steinway too.
