Piano Tunings - Priced by Zip!
Update Mar 20, 2024: my base rate is now $80. This small increase is simply to make up for inflationary rates beyond my control. Computation for travel is now base on $4 per mile outside the 6 mile radius.
MESA DEL SOL residents: your fee is currently based on 87105, not 87106. This adjusts for a "gerrymandered" zone that puts Mesa Del Sol in the same zip as Nob Hill.
The price for a piano tuning service call is based on where you are located (how far I need to travel). You can calculate your fee by entering your zip in the price calculator (on this page) and pressing the button.
Why base fee on zip? Well, I live in 87123. The base price (within a 6-mile radius) is $80. If your Post Office is more than 6 miles from mine, the fee increases by $4 per mile, covering my additional time and gas to get to you. Pricing this way ensures you the best possible price I can offer, regardless of where you live. If you have more than one piano at the same location, additional tunings are $80 each. Fee already includes NM Gross Receipts Tax.
So---put your zip into the calculator and press "calculate"!
Other Services
Most repair work estimates requires personal inspection, but sometimes I can give you an idea over the phone. Estimates for repairs, regulating, voicing, etc., are primarily based on average time required and cost of parts. If there is a window of "down time" involved in any repair work, I estimate that at the same time.
Organizational Bids
It is always my honor and pleasure to submit written estimates to schools, churches and organizations for quantities of instrument servicing at bulk rates.
Rush charges
Customers requiring immediate "rush" service may incur an additional charge. This charge will always be stipulated (and agreed to) prior to my accepting the job.
