Professional Piano Tuning Services in Toronto
Regular piano tunings are important for your instrument’s health and aural quality.
Pianos are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, and in Toronto, we experience wild swings each year (sometimes within the same season)! The best way we know how to mitigate these stresses on your piano is to tune it regularly. Even if your piano is not played, tuning it maintains the structural integrity of the instrument.

SERVICE PACKAGES
We offer pre-paid discounted piano tuning packages. Pre-paying takes the hassle and planning out of piano maintenance, giving you peace of mind that your instrument will be looked after for the year. Contact us for details: the more tunings you purchase, the more you save. This is a popular option for churches, studios, synagogues, music schools, or homes where pianos see heavy use.
PITCH RAISE
If your piano is more than 20 cents flat (or sharp), it will require a pitch correction before a fine tuning can be performed. This occurs when the instrument has not been tuned regularly, or after environmental changes such as a move or a shift in humidity.
Pitch correction is a preliminary tuning service that brings the piano back to standard concert pitch (A440). It is not guaranteed to be stable or precise, and a follow-up tuning is strongly recommended within 3 months to achieve a fine and lasting result.
Cost for pitch correction: $225 + HST = $254.25
Follow-up tuning: $150 + HST = $169.50
If a client does not wish to proceed with a full pitch correction, our technician will offer to tune the piano 10 cents in the proper direction toward standard pitch and charge the standard tuning rate of $150 + HST. This helps improve the pitch without risking string breakage or instability. For further clarification or to discuss options, we encourage clients to contact our office directly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Regular tunings (at least once per year) help maintain stable pitch and reduce the need for pitch corrections.
- Pitch corrections are charged at 1.5x the standard tuning rate due to the additional time and care involved.
- A pitch correction is not a substitute for fine tuning – it is a preparatory step.
- We recommend scheduling a follow-up tuning within 3 months to ensure accuracy and stability.
- If your piano has not been serviced in several years or has recently been moved, a pitch correction may be necessary.
- Our technicians will assess your instrument on arrival and communicate any additional service needs before proceeding.
- If the piano is not tuneable (will not hold the required tension), you will receive a written estimate for the necessary repairs and an invoice for a Service Call ($100 + HST). If you proceed with the suggested repairs, we will credit the service call amount to the repair bill.
