Piano Tuning, Repair, And Overall Care
Non-certified, fairly priced. Solid tuning, repair and cleaning work for piano owners who want their instrument sounding good without paying for credentials they don't necessarily need.If nothing else I can save you a lot of money when you have to go to a pro. Some things I can't fix, some strings I can't tune, but I probably know someone who can. Why pay top dollar for every other little thing that needs to be done? Let me fix the common stuff, clean it up, and then you can spend the savings getting what little remains done by someone with a certificate. All I can offer is experience at a lower price.

Take Advantage Of My $50.00 Diagnostic Service! I embrace the lost cause!
A small price to pay to find out what's actually wrong and whether it's worth restoring in the first place. Some organizations, schools for example, are required to employ certified, but also expensive technicians. I'll tell you if your sound board is cracked among other things, then you can take my report to any pro as needed or let me arrange a pro visit so I can earn a broker fee. This will save you hundreds of dollars if not thousands while offering new market opportunity for the old masters who can focus on the big jobs.
