Frequently Asked Questions
-
The standard recommendation for piano tuning is twice a year, though the ideal frequency can vary depending on factors such as whether the piano is new, has been recently moved, or how often it’s played. In some cases, tuning once a year may be sufficient.
-
Tuning a piano typically takes between one to two hours, depending on several factors. A well-maintained piano that’s regularly tuned can usually be completed in about an hour. However, if the piano hasn’t been tuned in a long time or is significantly out of tune, the process may take longer—especially if a pitch raise is required before fine tuning.
-
In addition to regular tuning, pianos require several other maintenance services to stay in optimal condition.
-Regulation involves adjusting the mechanical action of the piano to ensure consistent touch and responsiveness, which can be affected over time by compression of felt and shifting of parts.
-Voicing adjusts the tone quality by reshaping or softening the hammer felts, helping to balance a piano that sounds too bright, too mellow, or uneven across the keyboard.
-If a piano has not been tuned in years and has drifted significantly from standard pitch, a pitch raise may be necessary before fine tuning can be done.
-
A professional piano mover should have three main types of insurance to ensure your instrument and the move itself are fully protected:
a) Goods In Transit insurance
b) Public Liability insurance
c) Employers Liability insurance (if they have staff)
-
The cost of moving a piano can vary based on several factors, so there’s no fixed price.

For the most accurate estimate, we recommend reaching out directly to the movers listed above for a personalized quote.

To prepare your piano for the move, please clear the area around the piano and make sure all pathways to entrances and exits are free of obstacles to ensure a safe and smooth moving process. If there are any items on top of the piano, kindly remove them before we arrive. Additionally, if your piano has a matching stool with storage, please empty out any sheet music or other items inside.
