Introduction: I have been in business since 2003. The majority of my clients have been private individuals, though I also service pianos for institutions, businesses, and performing artists.
Each client has a particular musical personality. Every piano I tune is different from the next and is part of a 300-year history of the instrument's development.

Dennis was wonderful, explaining many aspect of what he was doing and sharing stories. He didn’t charge me more although my piano hadn’t tuned for so many years. Terrific experience.

My experience was amazing! He found the problems quickly and tuned my piano so it sounds brand new. The added bonus was listening to him play to ensure it was back up to standards.

Dennis tuned my 1997 Yamaha baby grand piano and made it sound beautiful again. He educated me on how humidity plays a factor on how the piano will sound during different times during the year. Thank you for your professionalism and courteous service. You earned a new return customer. I will contact you when I need another tuning next year.
