Tuning
You shouldn’t have to worry about how your piano will sound when you sit down to play. We take a holistic approach to your piano’s health so you can enjoy it more. Every tuning is a full-service tuning.
Our Tuning Services
For the first 20 years of Steve Brady’s career, he tuned solely by ear using a tuning fork to set the first string. He now has incorporated state-of-the art electronics as an adjunct to his ears. He feels that the combination of well-trained ears and sophisticated electronics results in the best tuning possible.
Rather than just performing a simple tuning at each home visit, we plan extra time for looking after the piano’s other needs, including minor repairs, such as fixing a broken string or hammer, cleaning the soundboard, refining the action regulation (touch), or voicing (tone quality), adjusting the pedals, etc., if these things can be done in a reasonable period of time.
Fees: In Seattle, $265 for Steve Brady, $225 for Skye Meadows. Fees are $10 to 20 more outside Seattle.
How Often Should My Piano be Tuned?
