How to pay less
- Have the piano tuned regularly, as a piano that drifts far out of pitch costs more to correct
- Place the piano away from radiators and windows so the tuning holds longer
- Book the piano tuner to visit several pianos on the same street or school at once
Before you book
- Tell the piano tuner whether the piano is an upright or grand and when it was last tuned
- Clear the top of the piano and the space around it before the piano tuner arrives
- Wait a few weeks after moving a piano before booking the piano tuner
- Ask the piano tuner about their training and membership of a trade association
