Tom is a true professional and nice guy as well! It was such a pleasure to have him in our home to tune our daughter’s piano. He played Beethoven after he was finished and it sounded beautiful! We are so happy we found him and are already scheduled for next year!

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Most technicians learned by doing, or from their uncle or dad. I have undergone rigorous training as a part of two certificate programs through the Chicago School for Piano Technology. I am also part of the Piano Technicians Guild which has a monthly journal on techniques new and old as well as yearly conventions with technical institutes to help hone skills throughout my career.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I took an intro class on piano technology and fell in love with how the piano was made and works, and how to repair it when it doesn’t! Haven’t looked back since!
What types of customers have you worked with?
Tuning pianos, cleaning out the insides of the piano (lots of dust and grime, and bugs), reconditioning of the inner workings (minor rebuilding jobs). Teaching piano, guitar, ukulele, violin, and music theory lessons.
