About
I am a 3rd generation piano tuner with a passion for hearing finely tuned piano music flowing through the hallways of a house. 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've worked on pretty much all brands of pianos over the years including Kawai, Yamaha, Steinway & Sons, Petrof, Baldwin, Knabe, Bosendorfer and Schulze Pollmann to name a few. If you're curious about whether or not I can tune your piano, feel free to contact me today!

Bill texted me when he was en route and arrived at the appointed time. He was very thorough and friendly. He did an excellent job of tuning our piano and when I inquired about when the piano was manufactured he looked up the information for me.

Bill did a WONDERFUL job tuning my old 1948 Kimball Upright piano! He absolutely has attention to detail and took his time tuning each key. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Bill! Now to start playing again!

Bill delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was professional, punctual, and took the time to ensure our piano sounded exactly as it should. His attention to detail and clear passion for his craft really stood out. He didn’t rush the process; he made sure everything was done right. What I appreciated most was how thorough and knowledgeable he was, explaining what he was doing, why and how to maintain our piano; which gave me full confidence in his work. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about quality and treats your instrument with respect, Bill is the person to call. Highly recommend.
