About
Pierce O’Brien, RPT is a guild certified technician and Utah's highest value for piano tuning.
You will do some of your absolute best playing after service by Pierce!
The Background: Pierce spent over half a decade working around the demanding recording industry of music city (Nashville TN) before moving to SLC. He has worked with everyone from startup singer songwriters to the most demanding concert performers and even grammy winning artists.
The Mission: Pierce's goal is to bring joy to piano owners through excellent sounding pianos that inspire you to reach new heights of expression and musicality.
The Method: Pierce's work showcases the uniqueness of individual pianos with a tuning done completely by ear. Different piano models are designed to be tuned differently from one another and only the highly trained ear can bring out the extra dimension of sound your specific piano has been waiting to reveal to you. The piano will not only sound better than it ever has, but the tuning will last longer than that of any other technician and that is a guarantee.
The Long Term: Pierce also provides free assessment and consultation at every appointment. He observes the whole piano inside and out, noticing every detail, and gives appropriate recommendations for follow-up care and service meaning your piano will be well kept for years to come.
Complimentary dusting and key cleaning at first appointment. Book an appointment today!

Pierce Obrian did a fabulus job tuning and deep cleaning my 1800s baby grand piano. He was awesome. He talked about what he was doing as he worked. A true professional and a huge wealth of information. I highly recommend him for anyone needing pianotuning at very affordable price. He was very nice and punctual as well. We LOVED him.

It was such a pleasure having Pierce in my home for tuning our 46-year old piano. He was most professional and personable, too.

Pierce, sorry for such late review! You were phenomenal, our piano sounds amazing (1967 model), and the tedious cleaning you performed under keys and inside piano were impeccable! We’ll forever use you as our piano pro!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$15 discount to veterans & seniors 60+
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We set up an initial tuning appointment and go from there! I typically ask questions like how long it has been since it was last tuned, does it possibly need a deep clean, and does anything else need addressing, like any repairs or problem notes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Rick Butler School of Piano Repair. Soon to be RPT - taking my exams summer of 2026
