About

I am a 3rd generation piano tuner with a passion for hearing finely tuned pianos I've tuned for well known performers such as Smokey Robinson, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Air Supply, Frank Sinatra Jr. and Hank Williams Jr. to name a few. I also maintain pianos for Playmakers Repertory Company UNC and North Carolina State University. I've worked on pretty much all brands of pianos over the years including Kawai, Yamaha, Steinway & Sons, Petrof, Baldwin, Mason & Hamlin, Kohler & Campbell, Knabe, Bösendorfer and Schulze Pollmann. If you're curious about whether or not I can tune your piano feel free to contact me today!

Kept us notified of anticipated arrival. Arrived when expected and got right to work. He was not at all bothered by our little dog or numerous grandchildren wanting to see how a piano works and how it is tuned.
