Piano Tuning

The current charge for a high quality tuning is $110- This not only includes tuning but also minor adjustments to your piano action, C.J.'s Pianos would rather include extra services in the cost rather than "nickel and dime" you for each minor adjustment.

A piano tuner adjusts over 200 strings one at a time to bring a piano in to tune (A440). Piano tuning requires minute adjustments to the tensions of each string of a piano to align the tone intervals between so that the instrument sounds it best.

The meaning of the term in tune in the context of piano tuning is not simply a particular fixed set of pitches. Fine piano tuning requires an assessment of the relationships between notes.  Each piano is different and in practice requiring slightly different pitches from the theoretical standards set by machines. Pianos are tuned to a modified version of the system called equal temperament.

The organization that sets the highest standards for trustworthy information on piano tuning is the Piano Technicians Guild (PTG).  CJ's Piano follows the standards set by PTG and Chris is working on completing his certification.
