Nice to meet you! I'm from Las Vegas, Nevada and currently studying Mechanical Engineering at BYU. I've been playing the piano since my mother taught me when I was five years old and can't wait to help your piano be in tune with the memories your family will make with it.
Generally takes around 2-3 hours. Pianos generally require a tuning every six months to maintain proper pitch. If a piano has not been tuned in several years, it will likely require a pitch raise as well as the basic tuning.
I perform pitch raises in two steps, first pulling up the pitch to an approximate tuning, and then after allowing the soundboard to settle for about a week, I will schedule another appointment to perform the fine tuning.
