The tuning price can be looked at as a daily charge. If you take the average yearly cost and divide by 365, you may be surprised at how little it really costs in terms of daily upkeep. I came up with between 52 and 66 cents per day exluding sales tax which is negligible. The higher price includes pianos that haven’t been tuned in many years and some extra items. If the overall pitch is closer to 1/4 step low, it will cost more.
