Piano Tuning Cost
Learn how much it costs to tune a piano and what affects the price.
A standard piano tuning costs $100 to $200 in most U.S. cities.
The price depends on the piano’s condition, location, and how long it has been since the last tuning.
What affects the cost
- Time since last service: If the piano hasn’t been tuned for several years, a pitch raise may add $50–$100.
- Location: Tuners may charge travel fees outside city areas.
- Type of piano: Grand pianos take more time and can cost slightly more than uprights.
Tuners recommend tuning every 6–12 months to keep tension stable and sound balanced.
Regular care also helps prevent string strain and costly repairs later.
