Why regular tuning matters

Pitch changes gradually—even when a piano is rarely played.

Seasonal humidity, string tension and normal settling all affect pitch. Regular tuning helps maintain stability, musical clarity and a more enjoyable playing experience.

12 months

Recommended for most household pianos in normal use.

6 months

Often appropriate for new pianos and instruments receiving heavy daily use.

Appointment process

From enquiry to a tuned piano.

A little information upfront helps avoid wasted travel and ensures the service is appropriate for your instrument.

STEP 01

Tell me about it

Share the suburb, piano type, approximate age, tuning history and any known problems.

STEP 02

Confirm suitability

Photos and details are reviewed, then travel, likely scope and pricing are confirmed.

STEP 03

Assess on arrival

The instrument is checked before work begins so you do not pay for a tuning that cannot hold.

STEP 04

Tune and advise

The service is completed, minor issues are addressed where practical, and any next steps are explained.

Minor repairs and assessment

Small issues can often be addressed during the visit.

Minor adjustments and simple repairs may be included where they are practical and do not significantly extend the appointment.

If a problem requires extensive repair, specialist parts or substantial extra time, Reuben will explain the options before any additional charge is incurred.

Assessment protects you from wasted work.

When suitability cannot be confirmed remotely, an on-site assessment is available for $80. This is credited toward the tuning price if the service proceeds.

  • No major structural repair or restoration
  • No cracked pinblocks or iron plates
  • No severe corrosion or unstable tuning pins
  • No full action rebuilding or restringing

Client experiences

Reuben did an absolutely fantastic job tuning our piano. He was prompt, completed the job thoroughly, and advised us about a couple of sticky keys and how they could be addressed. Reuben is very professional in his approach. We will definitely be using his services again!

Frequently asked questions

Before booking a tuning

How much does piano tuning cost?

Tuning starts from $200. The final price depends on travel, the piano's condition and any additional work. Pricing is confirmed before work begins.

How long does an appointment take?

Allow approximately three to four hours. A piano that needs significant pitch correction or minor repairs may take longer.

How often should a piano be tuned?

Most household pianos should be tuned every 12 months. New pianos and instruments receiving heavy daily use may benefit from tuning every six months.

What if my piano is far below pitch?

A pitch correction may be possible where the instrument is in serviceable condition. It can require additional work, and a follow-up tuning may be recommended for the best stability.

Can every piano be tuned?

Not always. Significant rust, loose tuning pins, structural damage or long-term neglect can prevent a stable, worthwhile result. The piano is assessed before work begins.

Do you tune both upright and grand pianos?

Yes. Enquiries are welcome for upright and grand pianos in homes, schools, churches, studios and performance venues.

What is the cancellation policy?

Please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations may incur a $50 fee, and a $50 call-out fee applies if access is unavailable at the appointment time.
