About
I have over 30 Years experience working on old and new instruments.
I learned the trade while getting my B.S. in music from USC. I do all repair and rebuilding, including player pianos.
Older and more difficult pianos are my specialty!
I fix mechanical problems others have left behind.
Pianos which are 1/2 step or more flat (not tuned in years) will be tuned at A440-442, so they can settle before the next tuning. A442 is the RIAA standard.
- I have machine shop tools, and I manufacture parts for antiques.
- I have a B.S. from USC in Music Technology.
- I worked for Music World in Las Vegas starting in 1998. I repaired all the trade-ins, and did customer service on the new pianos for the store until the owner retired in 2011. I currently work for Kim's Piano. Kim's does sell to customers in Nevada, and they are an outstanding dealer.
-I do service rural areas outside of Clark county. Travel expenses will be quoted. -Exchanges on this app are only available to me on a home computer. I will respond to them as soon as possible.

Not only was he punctual, but he was also professional. He pointed out problems that I needed to take care of and even to my untrained ear, the piano sounded tremendous when he left. Also, compared to some other quotes I had, he was very reasonable.

Joe did a great job with my piano. I have a 1963 Wurlitzer upright piano. I believed it was worth investing in and he supported my decision and really put his love of musical instruments into the repair process. I’m very grateful for his efforts. My piano sounds and feels beautiful. Joe also offered to set up future tuning appointments and I will follow up with those. Thank you Joe.
