Piano Tuning Services

Tune your piano to perfection with South Jersey Piano

The most basic and important part of piano maintenance is tuning: adjusting the pitch of individual strings in the piano. Many piano players do not realize that although a typical piano has 88 keys, they have well over 200 strings. The upper two-thirds of the piano has three strings per note, while the lower range consists of monochords (one string) and bichords (two strings) that are copper-wound, heavier strings.

When tuning, in addition to tuning the piano to the standard pitch it is designed to be at, the piano technician is also striving to get the piano “in tune with itself” — this is the simplest way to explain the relationship of each note to every other note. Far from being a simple formula, this is determined by temperament and stretch and, in reality, varies slightly for every single piano based on many acoustic factors.

It is also our philosophy that a piano tuning appointment should address any other problems, immediate or potential, that the piano may have. Much like a good mechanic performing routine maintenance on your vehicle, We consider an annual piano servicing appointment an opportunity to make sure every aspect of the piano is functioning optimally. We frequently fix or adjust small problems as we go, and for larger or systemic issues, we will be sure to bring them to your attention and have a discussion about the possible courses of treatment.

Get your piano tuned by South Jersey Piano to experience:

Consistent tone

We don’t tune through guesswork; we do it using highly experienced hands and ears that listen to pianos every day, all year round.

A piano that stays tuned longer

Properly tuned pianos maintain their quality of tone for longer.

Top-tier preventive maintenance

When we tune pianos, we also make sure to check thoroughly for any signs of wear, so that we can recommend string replacement before they break.

I had a wonderful experience with SJ Piano Service!! I highly recommend them! They were punctual, professional and very nice. Ben responded to my emails in a timely manner and followed through with everything he said he was going to do. He and his movers took great care with moving my piano, made it look effortless and were respectful to my home. I even have Ben coming back to tune it! They were all great! I would use them again for any of my piano needs!!

Ben Patterson always does an excellent job at tuning our piano. He is very professional and easy to get a hold of to make or change appointments. He has been tuning our piano since we purchased it and we couldn't be happier.

I found SJ Piano Service on line a few years ago and have been 100% satisfied. Ben provides great customer service, making scheduling easy, and showing up on schedule. Most importantly, he knows what he is doing. My piano has never sounded better.
Highly recommended for those who care about keeping their pianos in tip top shape.

I couldn't have been more thrilled with the professionalism and skill of South Jersey Piano Service. The company moved my piano and came back to tune it 2 weeks later and exceeded my expectations both times. Their prices are incredibly reasonable and I couldn't have asked for a higher level of service.

Ben takes no shortcuts with his work, and often throws in a little extra here and there. He really cares about maintaining a good relationship with clients, and ensures that each piano he works on provides the best possible playing experience.

Ben is an excellent piano technician. We have a 7.5 foot grand that requires patience and Ben takes his time to make it sound perfect.
