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

Your piano, considered individually
A coastal room, an individual instrument.
The same symptom can have different causes in two pianos. A sticking key might bind at the key itself or elsewhere in the action. An inspection follows the movement rather than assuming humidity is always the explanation.
Describe open-window habits and seasonal air-conditioning changes if relevant. These are useful observations, not proof of a moisture-related fault.
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.
Grand or upright?
Start with the mechanism.
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.
Explore all piano servicesKey, hammer & action repair
Silent notes, sticking keys, or broken hammers need diagnosis. Tuning alone cannot restore a damaged mechanism.
Regulation, voicing & restoration
Regulation improves the action’s response; voicing refines tone. Larger restoration and refinishing decisions start with an inspection.
House, apartment & condominium visits
What to expect
in Ocean Ridge.
Share gate or entry arrangements for a house and management instructions for an apartment. Clear objects from the piano’s top, but do not remove panels or mechanical parts.
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 useful symptom to describe
A note that stays depressed should not be forced upward repeatedly. Explain when it first began sticking and whether neighboring keys behave similarly.

Standard tuning & calibration
$250 USD
Includes travel within our listed South Florida service area and tuning/calibration.
Premium first appointment
$300 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.

An assessment, not assumptions
Tell us about
your piano.
Use the private request form with your name, contact details, Ocean Ridge 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.

Before a visit
Your assessment,
step by step.
Share the concern and access details. Coverage and scheduling are confirmed individually. The piano is inspected, then findings and proposed work are explained before you decide.
What should I tell you first?
A note that stays depressed should not be forced upward repeatedly. Explain when it first began sticking and whether neighboring keys behave similarly.
How should I prepare the room or building?
Share gate or entry arrangements for a house and management instructions for an apartment. Clear objects from the piano’s top, but do not remove panels or mechanical parts.
Does being out of tune mean a key needs repair?
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.
