A technician who explains the piano to you

Most people call because something is wrong and they cannot name it: a note that will not sound, a key that sticks, a piano that suddenly sounds sour. We start with a proper inspection, tell you what is happening inside the instrument, and separate what needs doing now from what can wait.

Colorado is hard on pianos. Dry winters shrink soundboards and loosen tuning pins; summer storms swell the same wood back. Much of our work is helping owners get ahead of that cycle so the piano holds a tuning through the season.

What clients say

Our 1912 upright had not been touched in a decade. It came back to pitch over two visits and now the whole family uses it again.
Marguerite D., Olde Town Arvada
He found a buzz three other people missed. Turned out to be a loose plate bolt, fixed in ten minutes.
Terrence W., Golden
My daughter's teacher noticed the difference after regulation. The keys finally respond the way she plays.

Frequently asked questions

How much does piano tuning cost?

A standard tuning for a piano that is close to pitch falls in the usual Denver metro range; a piano needing a pitch raise takes longer and costs more. We quote the exact price on the phone once we know the instrument and when it was last serviced.

How long does a tuning take?

Plan on 60 to 90 minutes for a standard tuning. A pitch raise plus fine tuning typically runs two hours or more.

Do you service both uprights and grands?

Yes. We work on spinets, consoles, studio uprights, baby grands, concert grands, and both pneumatic and electronic player systems.

Should the room be quiet during tuning?

Yes, please. Tuning is largely an aural process, so a quiet room and no vacuuming or barking dogs makes for a better result.

Do you charge for travel within the service area?

Arvada and immediately neighbouring communities carry no travel charge. Longer trips within the Denver metro area may include a modest fee, always quoted in advance.
