Introduction

I am a 3rd generation piano tuner with a passion for hearing finely tuned pianos I've tuned for well known performers such as Smokey Robinson, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Air Supply, Frank Sinatra Jr. and Hank Williams Jr. to name a few.

I've worked on pretty much all brands of pianos over the years including Kawai, Yamaha, Steinway & Sons, Petrof, Baldwin, Mason & Hamlin, Kohler & Campbell, Knabe, Bösendorfer and Schulze Pollmann. If you're curious about whether or not I can tune your piano feel free to contact me today!

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!

Kept us notified of anticipated arrival. Arrived when expected and got right to work. He was not at all bothered by our little dog or numerous grandchildren wanting to see how a piano works and how it is tuned.
