Reliable, professional tuning for the most beloved pianos in Utah homes, churches, and schools.
Uprights Deserve Serious Care, Too
A few weeks ago in Springville, we were called to tune a well-loved upright that had sat untouched for almost a decade. The mom told us, “We just use it for lessons—it doesn’t have to be perfect.” But when we finished the tuning and played a few chords, she paused and said, “I didn’t realize how out of tune it was until I heard it right.”
Upright pianos often get overlooked—they’re tucked into corners, used daily, and rarely moved. But they deserve professional care just as much as grands. That’s where we come in.
What Makes Upright Piano Tuning Unique?
Uprights—whether spinet, console, studio, or full-size verticals—have different acoustic challenges than grands. They project sound differently, their mechanics are more compact, and they often hold tension differently due to environmental placement (against a wall, near windows, etc.).
Our upright piano tuning service includes:
-
Pitch adjustment to A440 (concert pitch)
-
Fine tuning across all octaves
-
Inspection for action noise, string tension, and sticking keys
-
Optional voicing adjustments if notes are harsh or uneven
-
Honest feedback on the piano’s condition or repair needs
We treat uprights with the same precision and respect as any concert grand—because they deserve it.

What Our Clients Say
“It’s just a simple old upright, but they treated it like it was a grand. It plays better than I’ve ever heard it.”

How Often Should Uprights Be Tuned?
We recommend tuning upright pianos at least:
-
Once per year for casual use
-
Twice per year for teaching or performance use
-
After significant humidity/temperature swings
-
Anytime it’s moved, even across the room
If it’s been more than 12 months—or you can’t remember the last time—it’s probably time.
