Most common for first-time service call - Recommended for first time appointment
Time needed: 3-4 hours
This is the most common service; if this is my first appointment with your piano, this is one of the options you will want to consider . It is ideal for:
Overdue pianos usually have some deferred maintenance to be brought back up to a playable condition. The tuning takes the most time, as a pitch raising procedure (a repair to the tuning) must be done prior to fine tuning the piano. This is similar to tuning the piano twice (and sometimes thrice), and thus takes twice as long to do.
In addition to a complete piano condition report, this package includes minor repairs and adjustments to keys, pedals, minor voicing and minor regulation issues at no extra cost.

Repair Estimate/Minimum Service Call: $100
Time needed: 1 to 1.5 hours
It is impossible to provide a viable estimate on repairs without seeing a piano - while the outside case can give some indications, they are not helpful without dismantling the piano and getting a look at the 260 strings, 260 tuning pins, the full length of the 88 keys, the over 3000+ moving parts of the action as well as the soundboard and bridges, the pedal works - there's alot that goes into this wooden musical machine. A list of the common repairs I encounter can be found here.
There are also times that I encounter a piano that requires additional time and repairs before it can be used or before tuning and servicing are a good investment for you. In this case, instead of the full service charge, I provide a condition report for you.
If you are looking to having your piano restored, i.e., new strings, tuning pins, soundboard repair, etc. This is also the place to begin.
This service is perfect when one wants to know what they are getting before they acquire a piano. If that is the case, this service fits the bill.
