Piano tuning
Adjusting string tension balances pitch and intervals. If a piano has drifted significantly, its condition determines the appropriate approach.

Assessing an instrument in a coastal home in Jupiter Island: tuning, mechanical diagnosis and a considered assessment for an acoustic piano at home.
Your piano, considered individually
For a piano in a coastal residence, room conditions and the instrument’s history matter more than its location alone. An assessment can separate pitch drift from friction in the action or damage to an individual hammer. Exterior wear is a separate refinishing question.
When a coastal home is vacant, continued indoor climate control matters to wood and felt. Describe periods when the piano has been exposed to open windows or changes in air conditioning.
Maestro Piano offers exceptional piano tuning and repair, delivered to the highest standards by a highly skilled musician and pianist with over 50 years of piano-tuning experience. His training took place in Russia at a piano factory specializing in piano construction and tuning. A trained ear, careful diagnosis, traditional specialist tools and deep hands-on repair and restoration craft guide the work; condition and repair scope are assessed individually.
A grand has horizontal strings and upward-striking hammers; an upright has vertical strings and a different return mechanism. Both need pitch and action checked, but access to parts and regulation differ. Findings and proposed work are explained before you decide.

Silent notes, sticking keys, or broken hammers need diagnosis. Tuning alone cannot restore a damaged mechanism.
Regulation improves the action’s response; voicing refines tone. Larger restoration and refinishing decisions start with an inspection.
House, apartment & condominium visits
Mention any gate, security or visitor arrangements and whether someone will meet the technician. If access depends on another household member, coordinate their availability before a visit is confirmed.
The visit starts with listening to your concerns and inspecting the piano. The findings and proposed work are explained before you choose how to proceed. Coverage and visit scheduling are confirmed individually; this page does not imply a local office.
A sticky key that changes with room conditions deserves inspection of its movement. Do not spray lubricant into the keyboard.
Understand piano parts and symptomsOne-time piano care
$250 USD
Includes travel within our listed South Florida service area and tuning/calibration.
$300 USD
For large, concert or unusually complex pianos needing extra time or specialist work. Make and model are reviewed first; brand alone never sets this price.
$180 USD
A separate follow-up appointment, paid once. Not a monthly plan.
Premium examples may include Steinway & Sons, Bösendorfer, Fazioli, C. Bechstein, Blüthner, Mason & Hamlin and concert grands. Not every piano from these makers requires the premium appointment; the $300 price must be explained and agreed before confirmation.
Parts, hammer replacement, regulation beyond included tuning/calibration, repairs, refinishing and restoration are quoted separately after inspection. No additional work is charged without your approval.
Monday–Friday: visits start 8:00 AM–3:00 PM
Each visit about 2 hours, with travel time between visits
Saturday & Sunday: closed
All times are America/New_York. Last visit starts at 3:00 PM.

An assessment, not assumptions
Use the private request form with your name, contact details, Jupiter Island location, piano type or make if known, and what you notice. Photos or a short video can help, but do not replace an inspection.
Many issues are repairable, but not every instrument is a practical restoration candidate. A request does not reserve a visit time or commit you to work.

Tuning changes string pitch. Silent or sticking keys, broken hammers and uneven response need a mechanical check. Many faults can be repaired after inspection, but no outcome is guaranteed.
