REDISCOVER THE JOY OF PLAYING YOUR PIANO
Many piano owners have yet to unlock the full potential of their instruments. Our mission is to enhance your piano's playability, allowing you to immerse yourself in the music like never before.
CALIBRATION SERVICE
Action calibration is a simplified regulation process that resets the key and action parts back to factory specifications. Over time, the wooden and felt components in the piano’s action naturally compress and drift out of alignment, creating extra play in the mechanism and uneven touch from note to note. Calibration focuses on restoring critical relationships—key height, hammer travel, let-off, and damping—to bring the action back into balance. The result is a smoother, more responsive touch and improved consistency across the keyboard, making the piano easier and more enjoyable to play.
LUBRICATION SERVICE
A piano has thousands of moving parts—more than five times as many as a car engine. Over time, friction between wooden, felt, and metal components can cause sluggish or uneven touch. A lubrication service targets these friction points throughout the action, keys, and pedal system using specialized dry lubricants designed for piano materials. This treatment restores smooth, consistent motion and helps prevent wear, keeping the piano responsive and comfortable to play.
CLEANING
Deep Cleaning – Upright Piano and Grand Pianos
A deep cleaning restores the interior of your piano by removing accumulated dust, debris, and buildup from the action cavity, key bed, and soundboard areas. For upright pianos, this may include removing the keys and action for complete access—especially if there’s evidence of heavy neglect or rodent activity. For grand pianos, cleaning beneath the strings and around the soundboard requires special tools and techniques to reach hidden areas where dust collects. Each service is finished with a careful wipe-down and light polish to refresh the piano’s appearance and maintain a healthy interior environment.

What people say...
***Rob did a fabulous job tuning my piano. I did not think it needed much work, but hearing it now is a night and day difference - it makes me want to sit down and play all day. On top of being friendly and punctual, Rob went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule when I got sick, and again, when a last minute work conflict arose. Additionally, he diagnosed and corrected a major issue that was caused due to poor work by another tuner. Learn from my mistake - it is absolutely worth it to invest in an excellent tuner, and Rob is very clearly a master at his craft. I did ample research before trusting Rob with my piano and can confidently say that you will not get more bang for your buck elsewhere. - 5 Stars: R. Bouley

FAQ
WHY AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TUNE MY PIANO?
Tuning a piano is essential for maintaining the instrument's optimal sound quality and musical integrity. Here in the South it gets hot, and the primary reason for tuning is the piano's susceptibility to changes in humidity and temperature, which can cause its strings to expand or contract, leading to pitch deviations. To ensure that a piano produces accurate and harmonious tones, it is recommended to tune it at least twice a year. Frequent tuning helps prevent the gradual accumulation of small pitch variations that can affect the overall sound quality and playability. Additionally, pianos used intensively, such as those in concert halls, may require more frequent tuning, sometimes before each performance, to maintain their precision and consistency. Overall, regular tuning not only preserves the piano's musical excellence but also extends its longevity.
WHAT IS A PITCH RAISE AND WHY DO I NEED IT?
A Pitch raise is the process of bringing a very flat piano back up to standard pitch (A440) in stages. When a piano hasn’t been tuned for many years, the string tension across the instrument drops significantly. If it’s brought up to full tension all at once, the frame and soundboard shift as the strings stretch, and the piano won’t hold a fine tuning right away. In these cases, I do the pitch raise during the first visit to stabilize the structure, then return a few weeks later for a fine tuning once the piano has had time to settle. This two-step process ensures the piano sounds its best and stays in tune longer.
