Areas of Practice
Professional Piano Tuning
At Abetter Piano Tuning Service, we utilize advanced computerized tuning analysis technology to evaluate your piano’s current condition before the tuning process even begins. This allows us to accurately determine whether your instrument requires a fine tuning only, or if a pitch correction procedure is necessary prior to precision tuning.
Thanks to today’s state-of-the-art tuning software and hardware, these procedures can typically be completed within a single appointment. In many cases, this eliminates the need for multiple return visits that were once common when servicing neglected or severely out-of-tune pianos.
The result is greater efficiency, better tuning stability, and meaningful savings in both time and cost for our clients.
Modern precision tuning technology also enables a level of accuracy that helps the piano hold its tuning longer compared to traditional tuning methods alone. The end result is a piano that not only sounds beautiful when we leave, but continues to perform at a higher level long after the service appointment.
Piano Inspection and Appraisal
Purchasing a pre-owned piano can be an excellent investment — but only when you fully understand the true condition and value of the instrument before committing to the purchase. At Abetter Piano Tuning Service, we strongly recommend a professional piano inspection prior to buying any used piano, whether from a private seller, online marketplace, estate sale, or dealer.
Our comprehensive inspection service typically takes approximately 45 minutes and provides valuable insight into the piano’s overall condition, performance capability, structural integrity, and future maintenance requirements. Clients receive a detailed inspection report outlining critical areas such as tuning stability, soundboard condition, action performance, pinblock integrity, pedal operation, hammer wear, string condition, and general mechanical health of the instrument.
This professional evaluation can help buyers avoid costly surprises and make informed purchasing decisions with confidence.
We also offer piano appraisal services to help determine fair market value, ensuring that you are not overpaying for an instrument. Whether you are buying, selling, donating, insuring, or simply assessing the value of a piano, our appraisal service provides an objective and knowledgeable evaluation based on the instrument’s age, condition, manufacturer, and current market trends.
A professional inspection and appraisal can often save clients hundreds — and sometimes thousands — of dollars while providing invaluable peace of mind throughout the transaction process.
Minor Repairs
At Abetter Piano Tuning Service, our primary goal is not simply to tune your piano, but to leave your instrument performing and sounding its very best. During the tuning appointment, we routinely evaluate the piano’s overall playability and identify minor issues that may affect touch, tone, responsiveness, or musical enjoyment.
In many cases, small problems such as sticking keys, minor action adjustments, pedal concerns, loose hardware, or simple mechanical irregularities can be corrected quickly during the service visit. When these minor repairs can reasonably be completed within approximately 10 minutes, we are pleased to perform them at no additional charge as part of our commitment to exceptional customer care.
We believe these small details often make a meaningful difference in how a piano feels and performs.
If we discover an issue requiring more extensive repair work or additional time, we will clearly explain the condition of the instrument and provide a straightforward recommendation along with an estimate before proceeding. Our approach is always honest, professional, and centered around helping clients make informed decisions regarding the care and long-term health of their piano.
Whether your piano is a treasured family heirloom, a performance instrument, or a daily practice piano, we take pride in helping it play as beautifully as possible.
“Many of our clients first called us to correct disappointing tuning work done elsewhere — and stayed with us because they finally heard the difference and experienced our true commitment to excellence. See why so many pianists, teachers, churches, luxury resorts, and homeowners continue to trust our 5-star rated service.”
