Tuning Nelson, Albemarle, and Louisa counties to the music of the Spheres.
About
My name is Alexander Zuercher, and I am offering tuning services for Pianos and Harpsichords in the greater Charlottesville area, including Nelson, Albemarle, and Louisa Counties.
I studied music and tuning theory at the College of William and Mary and have since been learning through the Richmond chapter of the Piano Technician's Guild.
Tuning a piano involves aligning every pitch available on the keyboard into a harmonious relationship with every other starting from an initial reference pitch. The current tuning standard is A 440.
I tune both by ear and with a tuning device so that I can provide the highest standard tuning.
Thanks and gratitude to the McIntire Music department of the University of Virginia for choosing me to tune their Student, Faculty, and Concert Pianos.

Fine Tuning
$160
Every piano gradually goes out of tune with use and with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. A fine tuning takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Pitch Raise Tuning
$200
If your piano has gone without a tuning for a long period of time, it may need a pitch raise tuning to stabilize it to concert pitch and to receive a fine tuning.
