Introduction: My piano tuning and technician experience goes back 4+ generations. I'm semi-retired and only tune 1-2 pianos per day to give my clients my best effort. Satisfaction guaranteed! A good tuning will transform a "tinty/saloon" sounding piano into a rich sounding musical instrument. For me the fun part is to have my customer hear their piano sound like the manufacturer intended for it to sound...maybe for the first time!

Gary tuned my piano this week and I was quite impressed with the quality and scope of his work. In addition to bringing the piano to proper pitch, he performed many adjustments and gave excellent tips on future maintenance. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone who loves the piano. His passion and knowledge of the instrument is extraordinary. I actually practiced after he was finished!

I am a professional pianist and musician and a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory and SMU School of music and have performed all over the usa! I just bought a small vintage Baldwin Acrosonic spinet piano for my apartment and after Gary tuned and adjusted it for a minimal fee, it now sounds fabulous! I am very pleased and with my trained ear I am very fussy! Do not hesitate calling Gary as I found out he has had life long experience with all the major pianos and you will be satisfied with his interest, care and professionalism!

Piano tuning has been passed down for generations in Gary's family. Gary has over 40 years of experience with piano tuning, and he is so cordial! I learned a lot about pianos from Gary during my piano tuning appointment. Gary is very knowledgeable, and I definitely recommend him. I will be referring Gary to my friends in the DFW area and will definitely be a return customer!

Very punctual, great knowledge about inner working of a piano. My piano was off 1/2 a pitch, and Mr. Gary tuned it up, cleaned and refurbished the velt on the hammers, vacuumed off the dust, and fine tuned it for the second time, he even helped retrieved a pencil from the keyboard. Very professional and reasonable on his pricing. I am impressed with how my piano sound afterward. Will definetely recommend his service.

Mr. McBrayer did a good job tuning my piano which had not been tuned in over 20 years. He also did some repair work to the cabinet and did not add an extra charge. He was very prompt and professional. I will certainly call Gary in a few months to continue regular maintenance for my piano and will recommend him to others.

FAQs

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Experience is the best teacher when it comes to tuning pianos...the more the better! Also, there is no "tuning machine" that is as good as an experienced piano tuner's "ear".
