I charge $130 for a standard tuning which usually takes one to one and a half hours. I schedule the appointment for 2 hours incase there are any minor issues (such as a sticky key) that need to be fixed and include them in the price of the tuning. I live in Central Phoenix and if I travel outside my normal service area I charge an additional $20.
