Sell—or buy—a piano with confidence. We provide honest, expert evaluations that help you make the right move.
“Is It Even Worth Selling?”
We got a call from a homeowner in West Jordan who was getting ready to list a spinet piano her parents had owned for decades. She asked, “Should I tune it first? Or just give it away?”
After a quick inspection and tuning, we discovered it held pitch beautifully, had good action, and just needed voicing. She listed it the next day and sold it within 72 hours—for 3x what she originally expected.
That’s the power of a pre-sale piano inspection—whether you’re buying, selling, or just trying to figure out what it’s worth, we help you know what you’re working with.
What’s Included in a Pre-Sale Piano Inspection?
Our inspection + tuning service helps both buyers and sellers avoid surprises. We’ll give you a clear, honest picture of the piano’s condition so you can make informed decisions.
Our service includes:
-
Tuning to A440 to assess pitch stability
-
Inspection of strings, soundboard, bridges, and pins
-
Assessment of action wear and key responsiveness
-
Evaluation of pedals, cabinet, and finish
-
Identification of any sticking keys, buzzing, or mechanical issues

Verbal summary with recommendations (or written report if needed)
We’ll also let you know if the piano is in “sell-ready” condition or if it may need repairs before listing.

What Utah Clients Say
“They helped me tune and prep a piano I was selling—and even gave me tips for better photos. I had three offers in one day.”
— Janet R., Centerville
“Before I bought a used grand, they came out and did a full inspection. I walked away from that deal, and I’m so glad I did.”
— Matt H., Orem
“Estate sale pianos are hit-or-miss. These guys give it to you straight.”
— Kelly N., Saratoga Springs
Why Tune Before Selling?
Many buyers will walk away from a piano that “sounds bad” even if it’s in great shape. A quick tuning can:
-
Boost buyer confidence
-
Show the piano is functional and well-cared-for
-
Prevent lowball offers
-
Help buyers test the sound more accurately
-
Support higher asking prices
It’s one of the smartest and most affordable upgrades you can make before listing.
