We offer the best and
lowest prices on tunings in the Coastal Empire and
South Carolina areas. We won't under-quote you over the phone, and
then tell you that you need all sorts of extra "services" once we arrive at
your home. This is a famous tactic with many piano technicians, and
one with which we heartily disagree! We don't believe in surprising
the customer at the last minute! If you can provide accurate
information about your piano over the phone, we can give you an
accurate quote. If you are unable to do this, or if
seeing your piano is a requirement for us to make an accurate diagnosis,
then we will at least give you a ballpark range of what your services will
cost. Trust us as your source for the "NO
SURPRISE PIANO TUNING"!

How often should I have my piano tuned and why? Pianos
are a lot like cars; they both need regular tune-ups! People seem to
know how often they need an oil change, but many aren't sure when or how
often to tune their pianos. Pianos should be tuned every six months or
more often, if there are severe climate changes. If you wait until
your piano sounds out of tune to you, it is most probably too late for
just a standard tuning to get you back up to par! When a piano is
tuned to A440 (concert pitch), each of its approximately 231 strings is put
under 170 pounds of tension! That is nearly 20 TONS of pressure put
on the cast iron plate and frame of your piano!! (No wonder it's so
heavy to lift!). But don't worry...your piano has been designed to
withstand this amount of pressure! Once you realize that this tension
is always there, and constantly stretching, you will easily understand how a
piano will gradually go flat (out of tune), even if it isn't played at all!!
A tuner determines how much tuning your piano needs based on how far that
string tension and pitch has dropped, NOT on how bad the piano may sound.
Many people use how a piano sounds as the only criteria in determining
whether or not it needs tuning, yet this is usually one of the last and "too
late" symptoms of a piano that needs tuning. In fact, if all the
strings happen to drop pitch at approximately the same distance from A440,
the chords that you play may still sound good to you in spite of the fact
that the pitch has dropped too far to get back to A440 with just one tuning.
Regular 6-month maintenance will help avoid this costly and totally
avoidable expense.
