What makes you different?
3
I pride myself on 10 years of tuning pianos (since 2016), and a quality education thanks to the Piano Technicians Academy and my mentorship with Pascal Vieillard of A440 Pianos. I treat every piano like it’s my own, and I always strive to offer the highest level of work and customer service to you. I am also passionate about music production and piano technology, and will happily educate my clients on anything they would like to know, in the hopes of helping you take better care of your piano going forward.
How often should a piano be tuned?
4
A piano is recommended (by the Piano Technicians Guild) to be tuned at least twice a year - AKA every 6 months minimum. This is because there are over 200 individual strings inside every piano, with over 8,000 components in the entire instrument. This means that a piano that does NOT get serviced regularly will become extremely out of tune and have small issues like broken parts. By servicing your piano twice a year, you save money by preventing those issues later on.
What if I’m not satisfied with my service?
5
We have a 100% Satisfaction guarantee, or your money back! So that way, you can hire me knowing that you won’t be wasting your money. I value the trust between a client and their technician when working on their piano - which can be as precious as a pet or loved one.
How long does a tuning take?
6
A piano tuning usually takes from 1 to 2 hours, which vary depending on the condition and make of the piano. Every piano has over 220 individual strings that must be tuned with precise accuracy to the western standard of tuning called 12 Tone Equal Temperament. If your piano is extremely out of tune (more than 15 cents flat), it will require a special kind of tuning first called a Pitch Adjustment. This preps the strings for the actual tuning that will take place after the pitch adjustment.
