What moves the price
- Temperature changes — a piano kept near a heater or in a damp room drifts further out of tune, so the tuner has more to correct.
- Piano's condition — a piano left untuned for a long time may need a pitch raise before the standard tune, which costs more.
- Complexity of the tuning — a grand piano or an older instrument with stiff tuning pins takes the tuner longer than a standard upright.
- Additional services like voicing or regulation — these are priced on top of a standard tune, as each adds time working on the piano's action or hammers.

How to pay less
- Keeping the piano away from radiators, windows and damp helps it hold its tune longer, so tunings can be spaced further apart.
