Bill did a fantastic job tuning our piano (which is pretty old and hasn’t been tuned much at all). It sounds great! He was friendly, communicative, quick, and also gave me details and advice on upkeep. Highly recommend!!

My piano is almost fifty years old. After Bill's tuning and voicing it sounds and plays like it did when it was brand new. I look forward to having him tune it again and again. He's the best! thanks for a great job Dallas Pearce, March, 2023

Wow! The life of this piano has been restored! After Bill’s initial assessment, he determined it had been at least 20 or 30 years since the last tuning. He spent over an hour carefully tuning every string twice to ensure perfect pitch and relative harmonics. I look forward to using him to tune this piano for years to come!
