Bill is a master of piano repair and tuning; and he is a really nice guy too! He gently and carefully tuned my 135 yr. old concert grand to perfection. I would recommend his services without reservation.

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Have patience. A good tuning like a fine meal takes time to provide.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    When was the last time I had my piano tuned? Repair work is different than Tuning. Tuning is adjusting the strings to a desired pitch. Repair work fixes issues with the various components of the Piano. How much use does the piano receive? once a day, once or more a week, etc. If the Piano is brand new it will require at least two or more tunings the first year according to manufacturer's directions.
