Services Offered
All pianos should be tuned regularly to keep them performing at their best. Sometimes, extra care such as voicing or regulation can help to reset the piano’s consistency of tone and touch. If you feel your piano needs more than just tuning, please let me know ahead of time.
Tuning
$210-250
The expert adjustment of pitch, typically tuned to the standard pitch of A-440.
Tunings typically take 1.5 to 2 hours.
A standard fine tuning is $210; pianos that haven’t been tuned for more than 2 years or that require a pitch raise are $250.
As a former concert pianist, my goal is to make your piano sound performance or recording ready, and to have it be stable for at least six months.
Voicing & Regulation
$120/hr Pro-rated
Voicing is the adjustment of tone through the manipulation of the hammer felts, either to create a more uniform or consistent tone, or to change the brightness or mellowness of the tone.
Regulation is the adjustment of the piano’s action to improve its consistency of touch and sensitivity.
Small Mechanical Repairs & Cleaning
$120/hr Pro-rated
Small mechanical repairs include sticky keys, squeaky notes, buzzes, and other mystery sounds or issues. *Note: Dr. Boren does not do cabinet repairs.
Cleaning can be done on both the inside and outside of the piano. Grand pianos often get dirty on the soundboard area under the strings.
