Answers about piano tuning

A piano in normal use should be tuned at least once a year – ideally twice: once after the heating season in spring and once in autumn. Concert instruments and heavily used pianos need more frequent tuning.

Standard tuning costs €178.50 incl. VAT. If the pitch has drifted significantly, a pitch correction of €89.25 is added. Travel is free within the Allgäu and Freising service zones. A detailed overview is on the Pricing page.

A standard tuning takes approx. 60–90 minutes. With an additional pitch correction allow 2 to 2.5 hours, as the piano is tuned in two passes.

No, in most cases even a long-neglected piano can be brought back into shape. A pitch correction is often needed, sometimes in multiple sessions. I assess the condition on site and discuss the best approach with you.

I tune and service upright pianos and grand pianos of all common brands – including Steinway, Bechstein, Bösendorfer, Yamaha, Kawai, Schimmel, Sauter, Förster, Ibach and many more.

I completed my apprenticeship at Steinway & Sons Munich (2017–2021) and then worked there as journeyman piano technician – both for private customers and for concert tuning (including Gärtnerplatz Theatre Munich). Several advanced training courses at the Steinway factory in Hamburg round out my profile. Self-employed since 2024. More on the About page.

Yes, I tune on request to any pitch between 432 Hz and 445 Hz. A pitch change from the existing tuning costs €89.25 incl. VAT in addition to the standard tuning.
