// Plan Includes

Everything your piano
needs, covered.

GrandGuard is not a tuning subscription. It's a complete piano care system — hardware, monitoring, and hands-on service in one annual plan.

💧

Humidity Control System

Dampp-Chaser installation — the industry-standard climate control system for piano interiors. Keeps relative humidity stable year-round, preventing soundboard cracking, pin loosening, and tuning drift from Florida's climate.

📡

IoT Smart Monitoring

Smart sensors track temperature and humidity inside the piano continuously. Alerts trigger when conditions drift outside the safe range — catching problems before they cause damage or pitch instability.

🎵

Seasonal Precision Tuning

Two scheduled tuning visits per year — spring and fall — timed to Florida's humidity transitions. Each visit is a full fine tuning to A440, plus a condition check of the action and strings.

🔍

Preventive Maintenance Checks

Each visit includes an action inspection — checking hammers, dampers, pedal linkage, and key travel. Minor adjustments made on the spot. Major issues flagged before they become expensive repairs.

📋

Service Records

Every visit is documented: pitch readings before and after, humidity levels, any issues found and resolved. A running log you can reference for insurance, appraisal, or future service.

📞

Priority Scheduling

GrandGuard subscribers get first access to scheduling windows — including priority response for emergency situations (broken string, urgent event prep) ahead of one-off booking requests.

// Pricing & What to Expect

Clear pricing,
no surprises.

GrandGuard is a subscription — not a one-time service. You pay once a year and the system runs for you continuously.

Annual subscription
$750 / year
Deposit to schedule onboarding

System installation (one-time, not annual)
From $895
Included seasonal tunings

Emergency call-out (if needed)
Priority rate

System installation is a separate one-time cost when you start — it covers hardware procurement and professional installation of the Dampp-Chaser climate control system inside the piano. The annual subscription renews each year and covers all ongoing service.

Grand Piano Owners

Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai, Baldwin — grand pianos are significant investments that deserve active protection in Florida's climate.

Home Studios

If your piano is central to your work or creative practice, inconsistent tuning is a real cost. GrandGuard eliminates the friction.

Music Teachers

An out-of-tune piano affects every lesson. Consistent tuning and a humidity-stable environment protects your professional reputation.

Churches & Venues

Institutions with performance instruments that need year-round reliability without managing their own maintenance schedule.

// Common Questions

GrandGuard
FAQ

Why does Florida's climate make humidity control so important?
Florida's ambient humidity is one of the highest in the US — routinely 70–90% in summer. Piano soundboards are large pieces of spruce or maple that swell in high humidity and shrink in dry conditions (like air-conditioned interiors). This expansion and contraction loosens tuning pins, cracks finishes, and makes pitch stability nearly impossible without active climate control.
What is the Dampp-Chaser system?
Dampp-Chaser (now sold as the "Piano Life Saver System") is the industry-standard humidity control system for pianos. It installs inside the piano cabinet and uses a combination of dehumidifier rods and a humidistat to maintain 42% relative humidity at the soundboard year-round — regardless of ambient conditions outside.
Can any piano join GrandGuard, or only grands?
The plan is named for grands but is available for quality upright pianos too — studio uprights and full-size uprights are excellent candidates. Spinets and console pianos are not a great fit for the full plan (the economics don't make sense). I'll advise during the initial consultation.
How long does the onboarding visit take?
The initial GrandGuard onboarding visit takes 2–3 hours: system installation, sensor calibration, a full tuning, and a baseline condition assessment. Regular seasonal visits are 60–90 minutes.
What if I already have a Dampp-Chaser installed?
If a system is already installed, the one-time hardware cost is reduced or eliminated — we just inspect the existing hardware, update the IoT sensors, and enroll in the subscription. Get in touch and I'll assess what's needed.
