Located in Medina, Ohio, Glauner Piano Service has been delivering quality service to Cleveland, Akron, Lorain, Wooster, Ashland, and Medina as well as the surrounding areas since 2005, ensuring prompt, courteous attention and unparalleled customer satisfaction. In 2003, Jay began his journey into the world of piano tuning, service, and repair through an apprenticeship with the highly-accomplished local tuner-technician, Ed James. After two years of training under Mr. James, Jay established his own practice in Medina in 2005. Collaborating closely with Yamaha dealerships in the Akron and Cleveland areas, he has built a large base of highly-satisfied clientele all over the Cleveland, Akron, Lorain, Ashland, Wooster, and Medina areas.
Jay and his wife, Becky, met in 1995 while attending Kent State University and have been married since 1999. The Glauners made the move to Medina in 2003 after Jay earned his Master’s degree from Tiffin University. They are now blessed with three wonderful children, Abby, Ben, and Collin, who all proudly attend(ed) Buckeye Local Schools.

Prices for our piano tuning service are commensurate with the type of work being performed, the price of parts at the time of service, and the amount of time required to fix the problem; however, some services are provided at a standardized rate. Please read the following information to understand our pricing: No piano string is immune to stretching, and therefore all will naturally lose some tension while being tuned, resulting in a drop in pitch. Each individual string is affected by varying degrees of tension and fluctuations in humidity, which means the piano itself may cause the strings to be raised or lowered to a pitch higher or lower than A-440 at varying rates. An initial assessment will need to be performed to determine whether the various ranges of your piano are functioning at, below, or above the proper pitch of A-440. How close your piano is to the proper pitch at the time of service can affect the total cost of service because it may need to have its pitch raised, which is essentially a quicker, less-precise tuning, once or twice prior to the final tuning. This may be necessary because simply tuning the piano to A-440 from a very flat pitch can result in a considerable amount of pitch loss as the strings attempt to relieve the new, increased tension. These initial, less-precise tunings are commonly referred to as 'pitch-raises.' If a piano is tuned regularly (every six months) to the standard pitch of A-440, then raising the pitch of the piano will not usually be necessary, and a simple tuning will typically bring the piano into proper pitch. A standard tuning charge is $100.00 within Medina County or $125-150 in surrounding counties; however, pitch raises, if required, are $50 each. Usually, a single pitch-raise can be performed immediately and does not require a second service call, depending on the availability of the customer and the tuner-technician's schedule. We stress the possibility of a pitch-raise because, in most cases where an owner has allowed a significant amount of time to pass between tunings, a pitch-raise will need to be performed; however, it is not unusual to find that a piano has held its pitch for several years between tunings.
