I adjust string tension so the intervals between notes return to tune. A typical visit takes one to two hours.

$100 plus tuning
If a piano has gone a long time without tuning, it may need extra tension brought back in stages. That can mean one or two additional passes and a follow-up tuning three to six months later.

$100 per hour
Regulation brings the action's moving parts back to an even, responsive feel. Voicing shapes the hammers so the tone can move toward bright and punchy or warm and intimate.
A full regulation and voicing usually takes around seven hours.
I regularly work with private owners, piano teachers, churches, schools, and stores. On occasion, there is a symphony in the schedule too.

I have worked as a musician, teacher, composer, and tuner in the Denver area for over 10 years. Piano tuning and service are now my full-time work.
Alongside appointments throughout the Front Range, I work at Classic Pianos Denver. I prepare purchased instruments so they leave tuned and regulated, and I maintain the store's rental fleet.
I am also rebuilding my own piano. Long-term care is work I know from both sides of the bench.
Appointments across Denver and surrounding areas. Travel beyond one hour may carry an additional fee.
I will talk through what the piano is doing, recommend the right service, and find an appointment time.
