Piano Tuning in Washington, DC
DMV Piano Clinic provides professional piano tuning, action regulation, and repair throughout Washington, DC, including Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Cleveland Park, Chevy Chase DC, Tenleytown, Brookland, Petworth, and Takoma.
Your piano is a live instrument, and the DC area's hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters affect it every year. Regular tuning keeps it sounding the way it should and prevents bigger repairs down the road.
About Your Technician
Seong Nam has over 20 years of experience caring for pianos across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. He holds advanced music degrees, served 18 years as an adjunct professor at the George Mason University School of Music, and has performed 25 years as a professional chorister with the Washington National Opera. That musician's ear is what sets his tuning apart.
Services
Standard Piano Tuning & Voicing: precise pitch stabilization and warm, balanced tone
Action Regulation & Minor Repairs: even, responsive touch; fixes for broken strings, sticky keys, and squeaky pedals
Dampp-Chaser Installation: climate control system that protects your piano from seasonal humidity swings
Pricing
Standard tuning starts at $200. If your piano hasn't been tuned in several years, it may need extra work, and I will always explain and discuss pricing with you beforehand.
Travel to DC
A travel fee may apply for locations more than 20 miles from Ellicott City, MD. However, when I can schedule your tuning together with other appointments in your neighborhood, the travel fee is waived. Contact me and I'll let you know the next available day near you, and I will always tell you any travel cost ahead of time, so there are never surprise charges.
What to Expect
A standard tuning takes about one hour. For most home pianos, I recommend tuning twice a year, once after summer and once after winter.
