Ashburn Piano Service

Standard Tuning - $200
Recommended twice a year, a thorough and accurate tuning of your piano.

Pitch Raise Tuning - $225-$275
If your piano has not been tuned for some time, it is quite likely that the instrument is below pitch overall. Pitch raising requires multiple passes; first rough passes to bring up the pitch, and then a finer pass to refine the tuning. The lower the starting pitch the more work this requires.

less than 20 cents flat - no extra charge
20 to 49 cents - $225
50 to 99 cents - $250
beyond 100 cents - $275
What's a cent?  There are 100 cents between semi-tones. C to C# is one semi-tone or a half-step and the difference is equal to 100 cents.
 
A piano that is pitch raised may not be as stable and will sometimes need another tuning sooner than a regularly tuned instrument. Regular tuning of your piano eliminates the need for pitch raises and results in more stable tunings for your instrument.

Bass String Replacement
$90 for one string - $45 for additional bass strings - Entire bass section at $20/per string
Full restringing priced per job. Restringing is a large job and a good to time to assess whether or not other issues need to be addressed, such as pinblock replacement, plate refinishing, soundboard repair or replacement or maybe just a thorough cleaning while the strings are out of the way.
New bass strings will require two visits, one to take measurements and a second visit to do the replacement once I receive the strings from the string manufacturer.
