Tuning + Pitch Raise in West Michigan
It's been a while. Your piano can still come back.
When a piano goes years without tuning, a standard tuning won't hold. A pitch raise brings the whole instrument back to where it should be, carefully and correctly.
Starting at $200
The Problem
You know it's been too long. You've been putting it off because you're not sure what it even needs.
Maybe it's been two years. Maybe five. Maybe you inherited a piano that hasn't been touched in a decade. Whatever the story, you can hear it. The whole instrument sounds flat and dull. Notes that used to sparkle just thud. Playing it feels pointless because nothing sounds the way it should.
You might have even called another tuner who told you the piano "just needs a tuning." But a few days later, it sounded just as bad. That's because they skipped a critical step.
- The piano sounds so far off that you've stopped playing entirely
- You had it tuned before but it didn't hold, so you gave up
- You feel guilty about neglecting an instrument that meant something to you or your family
- You're worried it might be too far gone to save
Your Guide
Jaiden won't cut corners. That's why his tunings hold.
Most tuners want to get in and out fast. They'll do a single-pass tuning on a piano that's dropped a full semitone and call it done. The problem? When you adjust one string on a piano under that much tension imbalance, the strings around it shift. The whole tuning unravels within days.
Jaiden takes the time to do it right. He brings the pitch up gradually, in stages, giving the strings and plate time to settle. Then he does a full fine-tuning pass on top of that. It takes longer, but the result is a tuning that actually stays in tune.
The Plan
How a pitch raise works
Assessment
Jaiden measures how far the piano has drifted and evaluates the condition of the strings, tuning pins, and soundboard to make sure the instrument can safely handle the tension change.
Gradual pitch raise
He brings the entire piano up to proper tension in careful stages, not all at once. This protects the plate, strings, and soundboard from sudden stress.
Fine tuning
Once the pitch raise stabilizes, Jaiden does a complete fine-tuning pass. The result is a piano that sounds transformed and stays that way.

What's at Stake
Every month you wait, the problem gets worse and the fix gets more expensive.
A piano that sits flat for too long doesn't just sound bad. The uneven tension across the plate and soundboard can cause real structural damage. Tuning pins loosen in their holes. Strings corrode and lose elasticity. The soundboard warps.
What could have been a $200 pitch raise becomes a $500+ repair, or worse, damage that can't be undone at all.
- Tuning pins lose their grip, making the piano unable to hold pitch at all
- Strings corrode and become brittle, increasing the risk of breakage
- The soundboard warps under uneven tension, permanently affecting tone
- What starts as a pitch raise escalates into a major restoration project
- The piano becomes functionally unplayable and loses most of its value
The Transformation
It's not too late. Most pianos come back beautifully.
After a proper pitch raise, clients say the same thing: "I forgot it could sound like this." Notes ring clearly again. Chords have depth and resonance. The whole instrument feels alive in a way it hasn't in years. It's like getting your piano back.
- Your piano sounds clear, bright, and in tune for the first time in years
- You actually want to sit down and play again
- Follow-up tunings are simpler and less expensive now that the pitch is stable
- Your family hears the instrument the way it was meant to sound
- The piano holds its value instead of continuing to deteriorate
