Piano Repairs

On occasion, I am asked to come see what it would cost to fix a piano - this estimate is something I usually do for free during the piano  tuning service appointment. Sometimes, a repair is needed before a piano can even be tuned and serviced.

 Occasionally, I am called out to evaluate a piano for repairs. In these last two cases, I do charge for the estimate, but if I am hired to do the repairs, I then credit the cost of the estimate toward the final bill.
