#REPLACEMENT PIANO MUSIC SHELF HOW TO#
How to Restring a PianoĪ technician must follow a series of physically challenging steps to restring a piano. restringing just a section, or a whole instrumentĪn amateur can successfully restring their own guitar, so why is restringing a piano so expensive? To answer that, let’s explore the process.If you restring your piano, your bill will be dependent on several factors such as:
Costs vary depending on the quality of string. How much does a set of piano strings cost? You can find sets of piano strings for $250 – $400. Piano strings cost as little as $2 per string, perhaps less if the technician creates the string from piano wire. With these prices, you may be better off looking to purchase a new piano unless your current piano is of particularly high value. With 40-55 bass strings this would still cost $2000 dollars for the bass octaves of a piano alone. I saw one technician offer services for $55 per bass string. If only certain sections of strings are damaged, then you might not need to restring the whole piano. An upright might cost $2000 to $4000 to restring, while a baby grand or grand might cost $4000-$10,000.
To restring an entire piano it will cost $1,000 to $10,000 + dollars. It turns out that the cost to restring a piano is high, and probably not worth it unless your piano is particularly valuable. So I tune my piano strings once or twice a year, but eventually the strings will wear out and I will need to replace them, right? Well maybe.
