Careful Piano Tuning Without the High-Volume Approach
A piano is not a generic appliance, and every instrument responds differently. Teton Music focuses on the condition, history, pitch level, environment, and musical use of your specific piano rather than rushing through a one-size-fits-all appointment.

What Happens During a Professional Piano Tuning?
-
The piano is evaluated.
We check current pitch, general condition, tuning stability, and any concerns you have noticed.
-
The pitch level is measured.
This determines whether the piano is suitable for a routine tuning or may need preliminary pitch correction.
-
The temperament is established.
The central portion of the piano is balanced so musical intervals work properly across different keys.
-
The tuning is expanded across the keyboard.
Bass, tenor, treble, and unison strings are adjusted in relationship to the established temperament.
-
Unisons and stability are checked.
Multiple strings on the same note are matched so the sound is clear, unified, and stable.
-
The piano receives a final review.
We listen, play, and touch up any areas that shifted during the tuning process.
Some Pianos Need More Than a Routine Tuning
Tuning corrects pitch, but it does not automatically repair every mechanical or structural issue. If your piano has not been serviced in several years, is significantly flat, has sticky keys, broken strings, pedal trouble, or unstable tuning pins, additional work may be needed.
Pitch Correction
A substantially flat piano may need a preliminary pitch raise before fine tuning can be completed.
Piano Repair
Sticky keys, broken strings, pedal issues, loose parts, and action problems are separate from tuning.
Regulation and Voicing
Regulation improves touch and responsiveness. Voicing changes tonal character and balance.
How Much Does Piano Tuning Cost?
Most standard Teton Music piano tunings are $139. The total can be higher when a piano is substantially below pitch, needs parts, or requires additional repair work.
Our complete pricing guide explains national and Utah price ranges, upright and grand piano costs, pitch raises, added fees, and real service examples.
Quick Cost Answer
- Most Teton Music standard tunings: $139
- Routine upright and grand tunings are often the same price
- Pitch correction may cost more
- Repairs, parts, regulation, and voicing are separate services
- Additional work is explained before proceeding
How Often Should a Piano Be Tuned?
Most pianos benefit from professional tuning every 6–12 months. The ideal schedule depends on use, condition, piano age, musical expectations, and environmental stability.
- Typical home use: Every 6–12 months
- Teacher or studio piano: Often twice per year or more
- School or church piano: Usually once or twice per year
- New piano: May require more frequent early tuning
- After moving: Allow the piano to acclimate, then evaluate pitch and stability
Why Utah Pianos Go Out of Tune
Dry air and seasonal humidity changes affect the wooden structure of an acoustic piano. As the soundboard and related components expand or contract, string tension and pitch can shift.
- Dry indoor winters can contribute to lower pitch
- Seasonal changes can affect stability
- Open doors, evaporative coolers, and large humidity swings can increase movement
- A more stable indoor environment usually supports better tuning stability
