Our piano sounds rich, full and amazing! It suffered from our move from the southern humidity to a more northern climate; it’s now beautifully tuned and fantastic again. Couldn’t be more pleased with the service and experience!”

Repair

$90 / HALF HOUR

From sticky keys to squeaking pedals, most basic repairs can be performed on-site during a tuning visit without scheduling a second appointment. Rates for repairs are typically given in fixed prices so you can know the cost of the repair before the work starts, and we always provide free quotes along with any appointment.

SETTING BACKCHECK To facilitate fluid repetition, each backcheck is carefully adjusted to catch the hammer at a precise distance from the strings after a key is pressed.

The difference was like night and day. The piano is now in tune (and staying there!), functions far better, and it’s clean inside and out. Even the broken key and pedal are fixed. I would definitely recommend Philatuner — friendly, easy, thoughtful service!”
