A1 Piano Tuning has been in operation since 1990, relocating from Los Angeles to the Atlanta metropolitan area in 2007. Owner Nicky Ford, known as the “Tune Doctor,” provides professional piano tuning and repair services across Georgia and the greater Atlanta region, with no gas or mileage surcharge for locations up to one hour away.
Standard tuning is priced at $175 per visit. The firm serves a wide range of venue types, including private residences, churches, recording studios, night clubs, restaurants, and hotels. Named venue clients in the Atlanta area include Sonica Recording, Maze Studios, Wondaland Studio, the World Congress Center, Peachtree Plaza Hotel, Four Seasons, The Westin, and various amphitheaters.

King, Al Jarreau, and Frank Sinatra Jr. The company has also tuned pianos for the Georgia State Capitol under two governors and provided services for Billy Joel’s opening act at SunTrust Stadium’s inaugural concert in 2017.
Beyond tuning, A1 offers piano repair services and maintains additional pages referencing piano teacher referrals and piano moving services, positioning the firm as a broad resource for piano-related needs throughout the Atlanta metro and Georgia. Clients seeking teachers or movers can use A1 as a starting point for those referrals.
Payment is accepted via cash, personal checks, all major credit cards, and Zelle. The flat $175 rate with no travel fee for destinations within an hour’s drive makes the pricing transparent and predictable.
