*Prices don’t include replacing strings that may break during a pitch raise, or any time-consuming repairs and adjustments that turn out to be needed.
Tuning adjusts the tension of the strings, but the sound and tone are also affected by uneven wear on the hammers, which may need reshaping and needling (see voicing). That’s why I like to chat with you about your piano before I start.
