Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
Do you accept electronic payments?
Yes! I accept Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and then cash or checks — whatever works best for you.
What is a regulation?
Regulation is all about making sure every mechanical part of your piano’s action — the internal mechanism that transfers motion from your fingers to the strings — is responsive and precise. It allows you to control dynamics and touch with consistency and ease.
How often should a piano be tuned?
Most piano technicians, manufacturers, and experts recommend tuning every 6 to 12 months to maintain pitch stability and ensure long-term health of the instrument — especially in changing Louisiana weather.
Why is cleaning my piano important?
Dust, moisture, and pests can wreak havoc on your piano. Regular cleanings can protect internal parts, prevent sticky keys, rust, and even long-term damage — and help maintain its value and appearance.
Do you charge a mileage fee?
Yes, but it’s reasonable and based on distance. If you’re about 30 minutes from the center area of Baton Rouge, you’ll likely pay around $20–25. Mileage never exceeds $40 — the cost of a full tank.
How long does a piano tuning take?
On average, expect around 2 hours — including setup, basic cleaning, and fine-tuning. If minor repairs are needed, I’ll take care of those as well in a timely manner.
