Pitch Raise Pricing

[Farrell]

Here in Florida, pianos kept in modern air-conditioned closed-windowed homes 
almost without exception, do not vary more than a couple cents with seasonal 
climate changes. If a piano is flat, it almost always has been more than a 
year since the last tuning. So a pitch raise is an add-on item for me - not 
part of a standard tuning. A pitch raise takes me about half the time a fine 
tuning does, so I charge half my standard tuning rate.
