Piano Tuning

Guided by the Ear I tune aurally. Electronic tuning devices have their place in the world, but I feel it is important to remember that high quality piano work is guided by the ear, not the eye. The old-school aural piano tuning process involves listening and discovery as each note is given its proper musical place in the scale. This “listening with ears open” approach allows for a great tuning and enables me to further refine the tone of your piano. Good, solid, stable piano tuning is the bedrock of your piano’s performance. Poor tuning will highlight and even create deficiencies in your instrument that stymie creativity. A great piano tuning, customized to your instrument, brings out its potential like nothing else. Much of what I can do for your piano, from voicing to action regulation to tone building, begins with a great tuning. My extensive concert -level experience with the Steinway piano at prestigious venues like the Aspen Music Festival and many central Ohio concert halls ensures that your piano will receive expert care. During my initial visit, I will perform a great aural tuning, evaluate your instrument, and then discuss with you in detail the options available to make your piano responsive and beautiful. These recommendations might range from minor refinements in voicing and action regulation, to one day in-home service for correction of larger action and voicing problems, to more in-depth projects that address larger issues that your instrument is facing. With this full service approach, I can develop a plan of action for you that suits both your musical needs and your budget.Once I bring your piano to this high level of service, keeping it there is not difficult. During subsequent piano tuning visits I maintain the voicing and responsive touch with straightforward procedures to ensure your piano always sounds great. Piano Tuning Fees Piano Restoration Fees |
