Services & pricing

Everything your piano
needs, in one place.

Every visit begins with a free inspection and an honest assessment of your piano's condition. We never recommend services that aren't needed — just straightforward, expert care.

Standard A440 tuning for a piano that has been tuned within the last year. This is the foundation of piano care — keeping your instrument in pitch and stable between visits. Every tuning includes a free walkthrough of your piano's current condition.

What's included
Precise A440 pitch tuning
Free inspection & condition report
Light interior & exterior cleaning
Minor repairs & adjustments

If your piano hasn't been tuned in more than a year and is significantly sharp or flat, it needs a pitch raise before fine tuning is possible. We bring the entire instrument up (or down) to standard pitch, then schedule a fine-tuning one to two weeks later — giving the strings time to settle and stretch before the final pass.

Process
Pitch raise to near-standard
Strings allowed to settle (1–2 weeks)
Fine-tuning follow-up visit
Often paired with service tuning

All repairs begin with a free consultation. We diagnose the issue honestly and discuss all costs before any work begins. Sticking keys, broken strings, worn action parts, rattles, pedal issues — we've seen it all. Extra fees may apply for parts, and we never proceed without your approval.

Common repairs
Sticking or broken keys
Broken or buzzing strings
Action parts replacement
Pedal mechanism issues
Keytop replacement ($15 / $10 ea.)
Hammer reshaping (~$250)

Over time, dust and debris accumulate inside the piano and can settle into the action, affecting tone and playability. Our cleaning package is a thorough, careful clean of every accessible part — restoring your piano's appearance and ensuring nothing interferes with its mechanics.

What's cleaned
Soundboard & strings
Keys (tops and sides)
Hammers & dampers
Interior frame & plate
Exterior cabinet & fallboard

The entry point for restoring proper action response — handled entirely in your home, no removal needed. This addresses the most common touch and feel complaints: sticky or sluggish keys, uneven hammer alignment, and loose hardware throughout the action.

What's included
Fixing all sticky or sluggish keys
Realigning & leveling hammers
Tightening all action screws
Performed entirely in-home

A complete, precision regulation of every note's touch and response — the level of work that returns a piano to true factory-spec playability. This requires the action to be removed and brought to the shop, where every one of the 88 notes is individually measured and adjusted, often through multiple passes.

What's included
Key leveling & key dip
Let-off & aftertouch adjustment
Hammer blow distance & drop
Backcheck & repetition adjustment
Everything from Basic Regulation
Action removed to shop for precision work

For pianos where parts have worn beyond what regulation alone can correct. A rebuild replaces the components that regulation depends on — bringing a tired or aging action back to like-new condition. Often performed on heirloom pianos, church instruments, or any piano worth preserving long-term. Final pricing depends on how many parts need replacement, always quoted after a free in-person assessment.

What's included
Whippen, jack & jack spring replacement
Flange replacement (hammer, whippen, damper)
New hammers & hammer felts
New damper felts & assorted action felts
Everything from Tiers 1 & 2
Free in-person assessment first

Voicing shapes the tonal character of your piano by adjusting the density and texture of the hammer felt. If certain notes or the entire piano sounds harsh and bright, or dull and too soft, voicing brings everything into balance. The goal is a consistent, musical tone across the full keyboard that suits your room and playing style.

Can address
Harsh or strident tone
Dull or muted sound
Uneven tone between keys
Preference for brighter or mellower sound

In extreme cases, a piano is considered beyond restoration — totaled, much like a car. When this happens, professional removal is the safest option. Pianos are extremely heavy and contain hazardous materials that require careful handling. We remove the instrument responsibly. If your piano may still have life in it, consider our Retired Piano Program first.

Consider first
Free inspection to assess condition
Retired Piano Program (if salvageable)
Professional removal if totaled

As a Certified Piano Life Saver Installer, we install and service Dampp-Chaser humidity control systems for every size of acoustic piano — starting at $700 for upright systems and scaling up to $1,500 for full concert grand systems. South Carolina's humidity swings are one of the greatest threats to your piano's tuning stability and longevity. This system stabilizes the internal environment year-round, automatically. Exact pricing depends on your piano's size and system configuration.

System components
Humidistat (automatic sensing)
Dehumidifier bar (summer)
Humidifier tank (winter)
Works on grand & upright pianos

Buying a used piano? Inheriting one? Trying to figure out what your piano is actually worth before you sell, insure, or restore it? A professional appraisal from a Certified Piano Technician gives you an honest, documented answer — covering the instrument's condition, fair market value, and an estimate of any repairs needed to bring it to playing condition.

What's included
In-person condition assessment
Fair market value estimate
Written summary, provided same day
$125 fully credited if you book any service within 2 weeks

If your piano has been damaged by a flood, burst pipe, fire, smoke, or storm, your insurance company will likely send a general furniture adjuster who doesn't understand pianos — a piano has over 10,000 moving parts and cannot be evaluated like a dresser or a sofa. We provide a piano-specific damage report that documents the true scope of repair needed and the instrument's pre-loss value, giving you documentation your insurance company can actually act on.

What's included
On-site damage assessment
Detailed written report for your claim
Repair cost & replacement value estimate
Available to discuss findings with your adjuster

Piano cleaning

Dust, debris, and time
take a toll on your piano.

$125 · Cleaning package

After years of use, the interior of a piano accumulates dust, debris, and buildup that can settle into the action and affect both tone and playability. Our cleaning package covers the soundboard, keys, hammers, dampers, and the exterior — restoring your piano's appearance and ensuring nothing interferes with its mechanics.

A clean piano is a better-playing piano. We recommend cleaning alongside your regular tuning whenever the interior shows significant buildup.

Keytop replacement

New keys give your piano
a fresh voice.

Old chipped piano keys next to newly replaced pristine keytops — before and after

Chipped, yellowed, or worn keytops affect both the look and feel of your piano. We offer new keytop replacements in a variety of finishes — from bright white to warm imitation ivory — priced individually so you only replace what's needed.

Single key replacement $15.00
Each additional key $10.00

Available colors:

Repairs & action parts

Every part of your piano
can be restored.

$100/hr · Free consultation

We replace and restore a wide range of action parts — including dampers, hammers, bridal straps, jack springs, whippens, leathers, and felts. In most cases, hammers can also be reshaped rather than replaced, improving overall tone and extending their lifespan.

Hammer reshaping typically costs around $250 and makes a significant difference in sound quality — particularly for older pianos whose hammers have developed deep grooves from years of use.
