piano hasn't been tuned in 3+ years
All is not lost, your piano will most likely need something called, "Pitch Raise" also known as "Pitch Correction/Adjustment".
A pitch raise is needed before we tune a piano. Generally if its been more than 3 years. However the PR will be much more minor in a 3-5 year period.
What is a Pitch Raise?
*wire = stringThe process is done differently than a standard tuning as we start in the center of the piano. We work our way up and down the piano adjusting the piano wires in increments to the A440 standard pitch. This also will reduce breakage of wires. However, wire break whether we are as careful as possible.

A pitch raise is needed before we tune a piano. Generally if its been more than 3 years.
Now with a piano that has not been tuned in more than 10 years. The piano will most likely need 2 sessions of Pitch Raising (Especially if strings are rusting/rusted). So the Pitch Raising will be charged at a 75$ rate. This second session includes the trip fee.
Reason why 2 sessions is so the piano strings, frame, sound board can move and settle. If PR was done in one session piano strings will break adding more cost.
