Professional Piano Tuning
Piano manufacturers recommend tuning your piano at least once every 12 months. Regular tuning keeps the instrument stable, improves tone, and reduces the need for corrective work later.
In Utah, seasonal temperature swings and dry winter air can cause tuning pins and soundboards to shift. We tune using a combination of trained ear techniques and professional-grade tuning software to achieve accurate, stable results suited to your piano and your home.
If you are unsure whether your piano is due for tuning, we are happy to provide an honest evaluation before any work begins.
How Much Does Piano Tuning Cost in Utah?
Most professional piano tunings in Utah range from $125 to $175, depending on the piano’s condition, how long it has been since the last tuning, and whether additional services are needed.
You will find our piano tuning prices are a great value because you pay just for the work we perform. We don't run expensive advertising campaigns with overpriced services. We run a successful business by providing outstanding customer service and reasonable piano tuning prices. Spencer Willis says, "there are tuning companies in the valley that charge much more, but they don't provide the level of service and personal attention to your piano that we do."
A Teton Music routine piano tuning cost is $139 and includes:
- Expert piano tuning
- Minor repairs & regulation
- Polishing piano exterior and keytops
- Brass plate polishing
- 21-point inspection
Pianos that require a pitch raise or corrective work may fall outside this range. We always explain pricing clearly before any work is performed.
Flexible Scheduling Options
We understand that piano owners have busy schedules. While every tuning appointment is the same professional service, we offer flexible scheduling options when availability allows.
- Same-week and limited same-day appointments
- Evening and weekend availability
- Scheduling around recitals, events, and school calendars
Availability varies by season, so we recommend contacting us early if you are working around a deadline.
Seasonal Piano Tuning in Utah
Utah’s climate plays a significant role in how often a piano needs attention.
- Winter: Dry air can cause soundboards and pinblocks to shrink, leading to pitch instability.
- Spring & Fall: Temperature shifts often reveal tuning drift accumulated over the year.
- School Year & Holidays: Increased playing and performance use can accelerate tuning changes.
We help piano owners plan tuning schedules that match both the instrument and Utah’s seasonal conditions.
After Moving or Long Periods Without Tuning
Pianos that have been moved, stored, or left untuned for extended periods often require additional care. Changes in location, humidity, and tension can pull a piano significantly off pitch.
Before tuning, we evaluate overall pitch stability and determine whether a pitch raise is needed. We always explain the condition of the piano and any recommended steps before proceeding.
Pitch Raises
When a piano is significantly below standard pitch, a pitch raise may be required before fine tuning can be performed.
This process gradually brings the piano back toward standard pitch without placing unnecessary stress on the strings or structure. Not every piano needs a pitch raise, and we never perform one without discussing it with you first.
Piano Repair & Adjustments
Over time, most pianos develop minor mechanical issues. We address common concerns such as:
- Sticking or uneven keys
- Noisy or squeaky pedals
- Action regulation and adjustments
Some repairs can be handled during a tuning appointment, while others may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.
Piano Cleaning
Dust and debris naturally accumulate inside a piano through regular use. Interior cleaning helps protect moving parts and improve performance.
Our cleaning service may be added to a tuning appointment and includes:
- Soundboard cleaning
- Under-key and action cleaning
- Bridge and interior component care
Piano Tuning Cost FAQs
How often does a piano need to be tuned?
Most pianos should be tuned once or twice per year. Heavily used pianos, schools, churches, and instruments in fluctuating environments may require more frequent service.
Why does piano tuning cost vary?
Cost depends on the piano’s condition, tuning history, and whether corrective steps such as a pitch raise are required.
Is a pitch raise included in piano tuning?
A pitch raise is a separate process from standard tuning. If needed, we evaluate and explain this before proceeding.
