About
Howdy music lovers! I work carefully and diligently. My intonation work is always self-evident and I don't leave until your piano is singing again. I guarantee stability. If any keys slip within the first month of tuning, I will do a free correction and possibly mend any loose tuning pins. Miscellaneous diagnostics & repair is $40/hr. About me: I live a life devoted to making good sounds and making peoples lives resonate just a little better. When I'm not in front of other people's pianos I'm a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer located in Old Irving Park, Chicago. I graduated in 2013 from the University of Michigan with a BFA in Music Technology. My constant pursuit of creative control in my recording process has lead me progressively deeper into the weeds of music-making. Tuning pianos is no exception. My piano tuning career has been a natural progression. I began servicing my own piano out of sheer curiosity and fascination. Then I found myself tuning pianos of musicians in my circle, branching out through word of mouth, and then finally as the sole piano technician of Chicago Public Schools. Since then, I have spent years repairing and tuning some of the most roughly handled pianos imaginable and learned so much along the way.

After 30 years, our church's piano tuner retired! Alex responded to my request right away and was able to fit us in within the week. After Alex finished tuning our grand piano, I sat down to play it and was immediately struck with how wonderful it sounded. As I've played it throughout the past week, I've heard the piano in a brand-new way...it's so clear and in-tune!! Every day I've been doing more practicing than I normally would just so I can keep playing it. He's already booked to come back and tune another piano for us.

Details: Baby grand • Last piano tuning less than 6 months ago • Piano played at least once a week • More than 10 years old

Alex was polite and professional. He explained what he was going to do in order to tune my piano. He made me aware of the probability of string breakage due to corroding. He was able to complete the tuning without damage. The charge for each repair was given. The cost was fair. I plan to make my 6month tuning for November.

Details: Upright • Piano played a few times a year • More than 10 years old • Fix sticky keys

Wonderful service! Prompt reasonably priced. Excellent workmanship. Got a piano that probably had not been tuned in decades sounding like new. He took his time, even repaired a broken wire at no extra cost! Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this vendor!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with the piano tuning service! They did an amazing job, our piano has never sounded better. You can tell right away they’re extremely knowledgeable and take real pride in their work. On top of that, they’re a very kind and personable individual, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They were also great with our pets, making sure everyone felt comfortable while they worked. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-quality piano care!
