Collins Piano Tuning provides the finest piano tuning for this price. This price includes a “pitch raise” in addition to fine tuning. Other piano tuners usually charge an extra $50-$100 for the “pitch raise.”
Brent is more than just a piano tuner. Brent is also a Registered Piano Technician, and has been an RPT since 2005. This means that he is a member in good standing with the Piano Technician’s Guild and has passed the PTG’s standardized written exam, standardized aural tuning exam (tuning by ear), and standardized technical exams. The exams are demanding, and usually require at least five years’ worth of preparation to pass. Few piano tuners have the ability to pass any of the three exams.
Collins Piano Tuning also provides superior service for repairs, regulating, restringing, and some rebuilding. Refinishing and extensive rebuilding services are not available from CPT.
Brent’s primary service area is the Denver metro area, including Thornton, Westminster, Aurora, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Golden, Arvada, Broomfield, Centennial, Lone Tree, Parker, Louisville, Superior, Boulder, Highlands Ranch, and Littleton. Brent also continues to serve Fort Collins and Loveland.
