How Often to Tune Piano? Cost Guide
Published: 5/29/2026 9:18:50 PM Clicked: 124
In Singapore, the recommended frequency for piano tuning is at least twice a year. For new pianos, three to four tunings in the first year are advised, as new strings need time to stretch and settle. Pianos used for teaching or played more than two hours daily may require tuning every three to four months.
If a piano has not been tuned for over a year, it may need a “pitch raise”—a rough tuning pass to bring strings closer to standard pitch—followed by a fine tuning. Pianos neglected for years with severely dropped string tension risk string breakage or tuning instability if forced up to pitch in one pass.
2025 piano tuning cost reference for Singapore:
Standard Tuning (Upright Piano): S$80–120. Suitable for pianos maintained every 6–12 months, includes full tuning and basic inspection.
Pitch Raise + Fine Tuning: S$100–180. For pianos not tuned for several years or noticeably flat.
Grand Piano Tuning: S$180–250. Grand pianos have more complex structures and require longer tuning time, typically over 90 minutes.
How to tell if your piano needs tuning? A simple method is to check the A note above middle C—it should vibrate at 440 cycles per second. Use an electronic tuner or a smartphone app to test. If chords sound dissonant or keys feel sluggish, your piano is due for servicing.
