Piano Moving & Piano Storage
I first became interested in piano tuning when I was in the U.S. Navy. I had taken a book, Piano Tuning and Allied Arts, out of the San Diego public library and after reading it, I just knew that this was what I would do for a living. Along with piano, I had been playing, and hence tuning guitars for years, and so was already familiar with the idea of tuning with interference beats, which is the core of piano tuning. After I got out of the Navy, my wife, Lin, and I moved to Wisconsin where I spent a year at a tuning program for the blind at Blackhawk Technical College in Beloit, although I myself am not blind. This was a full time program - 6 hours a day, five days a week. It covered tuning, repair, and rebuilding. From there we moved to Algonquin, IL, and started Fisher Piano Service. In 1986 we moved to our present home in Crystal Lake.
My tunings typically cost $120 - $145, depending on how badly out of tune a piano is, and take from an hour and half to two hours. I always tune to A-440 (standard pitch), with rare exceptions such as tuning to off-pitch pipe organs, etc. It is natural when shopping for services to compare prices, but one needs to be careful how price differences are interpreted. We've all heard the ol', \"You get what you pay for.\" Well, sometimes we do, and sometimes we don't! Unlike many other products or services, piano tuning doesn't have a lot of market control, and piano tuners can charge whatever they think is fair, or what they think they can get away with, depending on their perspective. Be careful how much credence you lend to your friends and neighbors statements as to how much their piano tuner charges. A tuner might combine the cost of tuning and repairs, and so what you are told was a $120 tuning was really a tuning and extra repairs added on to the cost. Always call tuners and ask them directly what they charge.
Any time you ask a tuner how much he charges, be sure to ask a couple of other important questions as well. Firstly, how much time does he spend tuning A tuner who tells you his typical tuning takes 45 minutes or an hour is not doing a complete tuning, but is most probably leaving the pitch of the piano wherever it is at, and is not tuning to A-440. If your piano has not been tuned for a long time, be sure to bring that up and ask how that will affect the price. You might get one price, but when the tuner arrives and finds your piano is half a note flat, the charge might either go up, or he might say it will need an extra tuning.
\"Un-tunable pianos\" - I often have customers tell me that their piano could not be tuned. These are usually old pianos that often can be tuned, although they may require more work. A truly un-tunable piano is relatively rare. Don't allow your piano to be \"condemned\" without a second opinion!
Repairs - I do major and minor repairs, bass bridge repair and replacement, tuning pin re-pinning, and regulation. I not only work on regular upright and grand pianos, but also on player pianos and square grands. Repair costs are based on $65 per hour, although many minor repairs are free.
Cleaning - I clean both upright and grand pianos, as well as advising customers on what cleaning they can do themselves. Cleaning a grand piano will typically take at least an hour, and in some cases take longer than two hours.
Buying a used piano can be even more tricky than buying a new piano. Besides the questions of brand, etc. that apply to new pianos, there is the unknown question of the piano's condition. Get any used piano you want to buy inspected by a tuner. Whether the piano is in a store or in someone's home, it's the best insurance you can get. For a usually small fee a tuner can tell you if there is anything wrong with the piano, how much it will cost to fix it, and can give you his opinion on the price as well. As a general rule, notes that don't work, the occasional broken string, pedals that don't work right, etc. are relatively easy and inexpensive to fix. It is often the things you don't even know to look for that are going to cost the big bucks - split bass bridges, loose tuning pins, slow action centers, etc. 59ce067264
