If you can afford to have your piano tuned 4 times a year then great! But for the majority, we recommend piano tuning every 6 months, this keeps on top of the natural change from summer to winter, and in most cases will suffice.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the quality and value of the older piano and how much it would cost to rebuild it. The complete rebuilding of a grand piano can cost from $15,000 to $40,000 (sometimes even more). Obviously this is only worth doing to a piano of the highest quality, such as a Steinway. For lesser pianos, however, sometimes partial rebuilding or reconditioning at a much lower cost can make sense.

This depends on when it was last tuned. A piano should be tuned every 6 months and if this is the case, then a once over tune will suffice which is relatively inexpensive. If the piano hasn’t been tuned for some time, years perhaps, then we may need to go over the tuning a few times to get it back to pitch. Lack of tuning can render the piano untunable.

It depends on how sensitive you are to out-of-tuneness, how sensitive your piano is to the humidity changes that cause a piano to go out of tune, the climate you live in, how much you play, and your budget. For most people, one to three times per year is about right.

However, if you have bought a very old piano in poor condition, repairs can be prohibitively expensive. Fortunately, pianos are robust instruments and many old ones are excellent despite being 60 years old or more. A very basic small upright piano costs, new, upwards of £1,000. A really posh grand piano (like the one in our illustration) can run into many tens of thousands. Fortunately there are always plenty of second-hand pianos on the market, and you can pick one up for as little as £100 or £200 if you're lucky.

If the piano is below international standard pitch (A440 Hz) it would need a second tuning, this would be an extra £16.50, both these tunings would be done in one visit.

Best Answer: The price of tuning varies depending on where you live. Where I live, standard tuning is $90.00, give or take. In LA, I have heard that $150.00 is the going rate. Also, a piano that is badly out of tune (hasn't been tuned for at least 5 years) will cost more to tune because it needs what's known as a pitch raise.

I live in the Northwest, and it cost about $75 to get my piano tuned. It depends on the tuner - how much experience they have, how much business they get, and what level of work they perform. In Montreal it's $75-$100 (Canadian $ of course). It'll be more in big cities probably.
