FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Typically, a standard tuning within Pittsburgh area will cost $160-350 and takes anywhere from 1-3 hours. It all depends on how well-maintained the instrument was to begin with.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a graduate of both the Western University piano technology certificate and Florida State Master of Arts in Piano Technology, I have apprenticed for and learned from some of the best piano techs in the country. I have also traveled to Ningbo, China and worked with the manufacturer of Hailun pianos.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After undergrad (Economics) I had a very hands-on, carpentry type job. After leaving that company, I started looking for a career that combined music with my knack for woodworking- and that's when I found the piano technology certificate program located only an hour from where I grew up in London, Ontario.
