Fees Increase

June, 2015

The inevitable has come to pass. My fees have not increased since being set back in 2008, respecting the economic difficulties of those times. It has now become neccesary to correct my fee structure to better reflect the current market and the increased costs of staying in business. My corrected fee structure reflects the median hourly rate for professional service technicians in the greater Toronto area, that being $75 per hour. Minimal travel allowance is also due for clients further than 25km from my home base in Pickering. Travel allowance will be $0.50/km for round trip less 50km.

Now Accepting Credit Cards

January, 2015

Besides cash, cheque and email transfer, I can now accept credit cards. A fee of 2.75% is added to credit card payments.

Your piano begins to drift from correct pitch soon after you've had it tuned. Shifts in ambient humidity and typical use are the main causes. Between two and four regular tunings per year are normal if a pleasant sounding piano is your goal. Artist Piano Care will install special in-piano humidity control systems to keep your piano at pitch much longer.
