FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Estimates within 30 miles of Westport are free. Further than that would be $30. A standard tuning is $150, but if it’s been a few years since it was last done, I may have to pull the instrument up to pitch one or two times before I can fine-tune it. It’s $50 for each time I have to do that. I will advise the customer of any other repairs needed, and give estimate(s) for those
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I find out what the piano owner is looking to do with the instrument, and advise what the minimum work needed, and what other improvements/repairs could enhance their enjoyment of the instrument
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I served a 3 year apprenticeship with an established piano technician; learning tuning, repair, regulation, reconditioning, and rebuilding.
