Piano tuning across Markham
Markham takes music education seriously, and it shows. The heritage main streets of Unionville and Markham Village sit alongside large, newer family homes in Cornell, Berczy and Greensborough, and across all of them we tune a steady stream of family and student pianos. It's an affluent, education-focused community where many households invest in lessons and keep a quality instrument — which means a lot of well-cared-for uprights and grands that deserve regular attention.
Our service is fully in-home and by ear, tuned to true A440 concert pitch. Many of the pianos we tune in Markham belong to students working toward Royal Conservatory exams, where holding true pitch genuinely matters for training the ear.
Markham's newer large homes tend to have powerful heating and cooling, and that — combined with Ontario's humid summers and dry winters — moves a piano's pitch more than people expect. For exam and practice pianos we often suggest tuning twice a year; for the rest, once a year keeps everything true.

Piano tuning in Markham — your questions
How much does piano tuning cost in Markham?
A standard tuning is $130 + HST, a service call is $115 + HST, and a pitch raise with tuning is $195 + HST. If a piano has dropped well below pitch it may need the pitch raise first — assessed on arrival, no surprises. See our pricing page for current rates and promotions.
Do you tune student pianos for Royal Conservatory exam prep?
Yes, often. A piano that's drifted off A440 trains the ear to the wrong pitch, so we keep exam and practice pianos at true concert pitch — frequently twice a year for heavy use.
Do you offer in-home tuning across Markham?
Yes — we come to you anywhere in Markham, from Unionville to Cornell to Greensborough. You never move the piano.
How often should a Markham piano be tuned?
At least once a year. Markham's newer homes with strong HVAC, plus Ontario's seasonal humidity swings, move a piano's pitch — so annual tuning is the minimum, twice yearly for practice pianos.
My piano hasn't been tuned in years — what does it need?
Usually a pitch raise followed by a fine tuning, since a neglected piano sits well below pitch and one tuning won't hold. We assess and explain before any work begins.
Do you tune grands as well as uprights?
Yes — uprights, baby grands and concert grands. Many Markham homes have quality instruments, and our technicians have 25+ years each across all types.

Our piano hadn't been tuned in over a decade and I assumed it was hopeless. It sounds absolutely beautiful again — better than I ever remember.
On time, tidy, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. Explained everything in plain English and didn't try to upsell me.
My daughter just started lessons and the difference a proper tuning made to her practice is night and day. Friendly, patient, and great with questions.
