Main Services
Please make sure to read our “Service Agreement” entirely before booking an appointment.
Piano Tuning
Traditional piano tuning. Practiced, tested, and already proven for three generations in the trade. We tune your piano to A440 unless the current condition, status, or health of the piano being tuned does not allow a standard tuning.
Since the piano tuning procedure between an Upright and a Grand piano is the same, we charge a standard price of ฿2,400 Thai Baht for both piano types. However, this price is for clients in the Bangkok Metropolitan area only. But, outside-Bangkok clients can also contact us to get a price quote.
DURATION
Allow at most 2 hours for the piano tuning service.
Piano Tuning Add-On Services
These add-on services must be booked together with a piano tuning service.
Piano Cleaning (+ ฿1,500)
Pianos can gather dust and rust over time without you noticing. It is highly recommended to have your piano cleaned regularly to avoid unforeseen damage.
We offer piano cleaning services and give you an updated assessment of your piano’s condition. Please allow an additional 1 – 1.30 hours for thorough cleaning in addition to the piano tuning duration.
Piano Voicing (+ ฿1,500)

Piano Action Regulation
Action regulation is the process of adjusting the mechanical parts inside a piano so the keys, hammers, and pedals work evenly and accurately.
Piano Action Reconditioning
Reconditioning and regulating the action restores the instrument’s potential, minimizing the expense of replacement. It also ranks among the most cost-effective solutions.
Other Services

For second-hand piano owners, buyers, and sellers. We designed the service to evaluate the actual condition of a piano and identify existing or potential problems.
We give an unbiased professional opinion about the piano’s health and expected repair or maintenance needs.
Piano Repair Consultation
If you are unsure whether the price quote you received from your piano technician for piano repairs is fair or too expensive, you can contact us for a consultation.
We can also recommend the best approach to bring your piano back to its optimal condition.
The Piano Tuner Method
Tuning pianos using the “Aural Method”. Also called “Tuning by Ear”. While all other piano tuners in Thailand use a digital tuning meter, Billy Alcordo tunes the piano by ear. That is to say, no tuning meter is used.
The “Aural Method” is certainly considered the best method of piano tuning. It is purely based on the listening skills of the piano tuner. And also on his ability to effectively tune a piano depending on the piano’s location.
How to choose your piano tuner
There are things that a piano tuner should take into consideration when tuning a piano. The location of the piano, the acoustics of the venue, and the harmonics are also to be considered. A piano tuner with good listening skills can also detect these things. Whereas a digital piano tuning meter might not. Therefore, a good piano tuner must have good hearing and listening skills. He must also have the proper piano tuning technique. Otherwise, he might just be doing more harm than good to your piano. So, you have to choose your piano tuner well.
We hope that the information that we provided above can be useful to you. And it can also help you in choosing your piano tuner. We also welcome any questions and inquiries you may have on this subject, and are always ready to give you the best answers according to our experience. So please, do not hesitate to contact us.
Most popular questions were answered by our piano tuner
How often should I tune my piano?
To determine how often you need to tune your piano, you must first consider some variables. The condition of your piano, the workload, and the weather changes.
- We recommend tuning your piano twice a year if your piano is a “house piano” and is in good condition. This is to avoid unchecked advanced wear and tear. Making sure that your piano is always in good condition and is in standard tuning all the time.
- If your piano is commercial, “a piano used commercially as a hotel, or bar piano”, which is used and played every day and has a heavier workload, we recommend that you have your piano tuned and serviced every 2 – 3 months.
How much time does it take to tune a piano?
A proper piano tuning by a competent piano tuner will not take less than one and a half hours. However, it could also take up to three hours at most.
What to do before selling/buying a second-hand piano?
Have the piano serviced and tuned by an independent professional piano tuner before selling/buying a second-hand piano, so you can have an unbiased assessment of the actual condition of the piano. Having a technician tune the piano before selling or buying it puts the piano in its best condition. You can then appraise the selling/buying price depending on the best condition of the used or second-hand piano.
Contact Pro Piano Tuner if you need assistance in buying a second-hand piano.
