When it comes to your piano, you need an expert with both knowledge, experience, AND patience. Pianos are unlike most other traditional modern instruments; they’re as big as a piece of furniture, have 230 individual strings, have hundreds of different components that make up their action, and can be over 100 years old. These beautiful pieces of music history and innovative engineering require a specific set of skills to properly service and maintain at their peak performance. That’s where I come in! You can put your trust in me to take the best care for your piano - thanks to years of experience, a mentor with 40 years of experience on call for advice, and dozens of fellow technicians in the Piano Technicians Guild to aid with any other various services you might be interested in (rebuilding, moving, custom jobs, etc.). The Piano Wizard currently offers these services to clients:
