WHAT IS A PITCH RAISE?
If it has been a long time since the piano has been tuned or it has been in an environment that has caused it to go more than 10 cents flat, an extra special procedure has to be done where the piano is tuned slightly sharp equalizing the tension of the harp of the piano. This must be done before a piano can be properly tuned, otherwise it will go right back out of tune. This can be done all in one session along with a normal tuning but will take an extra hour or so.
​
WILL YOU COME TO MY TOWN?
We service a wide range of areas including Woodbury, McMinnville, Smithville, Gordonsville, Carthage, Lebanon, Cookeville, Sparta, Spencer, Bell Buckle, Shelbyville and the surrounding towns. We are located in Smyrna/Murfreesboro, but will travel to smaller communities for an extra 30¢/mile fee for distances over 30 miles. However, we are happy to waive this fee if you know of a friend or organization that can schedule a piano tuning on the same day as your tuning.
​
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY PIANO TUNED?
Most experts recommend once a year, however, if the piano is used frequently then many piano owners like to have it done every six months. The exceptions are 1.) a piano that has been moved, 2.) studio pianos played four or more hours a day, or 3.) pianos in concert halls, where tunings are done much more often.
​
I HAVE A VERY OLD PIANO, CAN A PITCH RAISE BE PERFORMED ON IT?
​
My answer is yes. Over my years of experience, I have performed hundreds of pitch raises on pianos, sometimes even over a 100 years old (one over 150). Other tuners may give a different answer to this question, because there is a risk of strings breaking on old pianos when a pitch raise is performed. However, as long as you are prepared for that possibility, strings can just be replaced. The most extreme example I have seen with this is four strings breaking during a pitch raise. Though more often than not, no strings will break. In the event that a string does break, treble strings (steel wire) cost $20 to replace and bass strings (copper wound) $45 to replace. Once replaced, strings normally last the rest of the life of the piano.
​
​
IS SILENCE NECESSARY
DURING MY TUNING?
​
Although we use the top tools and software to ensure your piano is in perfect tune, a large part of tuning relies on the tuner's ability to hear what is going on inside the piano. Tuning is a listening art. Although complete silence is not necessary, to get the best tuning possible, it is recommended to minimize the background noises that can hinder the tuner from hearing what they need to hear, this includes loud machines (vacuums, blenders, coffee grinders) or fans in use for a long period of time, kids playing in the vicinity, barking dogs, or especially radios or televisions with music playing.

Geoff did an awesome job with our piano. It was in non-climate controlled storage for about 3 years, keys were sticking, etc. He came in, took the whole thing apart, and we discovered it had become home to a critter (no longer there). He adjusted the pitch and tuned it up. He was patient and diligent. He does amazing work - we are so excited. We would highly recommend his services. It was easy to schedule an appointment and very fair pricing.

Geoff did an AMAZING job with tuning my piano. He was nice and his price was extremely fair! He has my piano sounding GREAT! He even ended by playing some BEAUTIFUL Charlie Brown Christmas music that I truly enjoyed. If you need your piano tuned, please reach out to him...you won’t be sorry!

I have a 50 year old piano that had probably not been tuned in twenty-five years. Saw the excellent reviews regarding Geoff and was definitely not disappointed.
I found Geoff to be punctual and professional. After the tune-up, my old piano sounds like a Steinway. Highly recommend Geoff.
