I grew up around pianos. Both of my parents were music teachers and there were two piano in the house. I tried to take lessons from them but I was more interested in watching the piano tuner when he would come to work on the instruments.
Years later I found out it was something I could learn to do so I went to school. I studied piano tuning and repair at Western Iowa Tech in 1987. A piano technicians training and education never ends so in 2014 I attended and completed the Grand Action Regulation in 37 Steps at the PTG Headquarters in Kansas City. I am constantly strive to improve my craft.
I have been servicing pianos in the Twin Cities area since 2009.

TUNING YOUR PIANO
A piano has over 200 strings. Each one needs to be in tune for the piano to sound and perform at it's best. Humidity will cause changes to the tension of the soundboard and bridge so the piano should be tuned twice a year to keep it at correct pitch.
Maintaining a constant humidity will greatly help your instrument. If you want information on installing a humidity system I can help. I am a certified installer for the Piano Lifesaver System by Dampp Chaser.
On the day of your tuning appointment, please have the top of the piano clear since I will need to open it up to tune it. I will inspect it closely before beginning and make you aware of any concerns before I tune one note. If you have questions please ask.

VOICING
After years of playing piano hammers get grooved from the strings which causes them to play hard and bright. Voicing will even them out and bring back some of the warm sound your piano had when it was new.
