The summer haitus is over and tuning has commenced. Reach out now to schedule your tuning.
*We offer discounted rates for churches and schools AND for pianos we've visited in the past year!

For your viewing pleasure, and since it's been a while, please enjoy these pianos I've met or revisited in the past couple of weeks.
- A Samick baby grand in a gorgeous room
- A mouse den in an otherwise pristine German full size upright
- Two local spinets
- Revisit of a local 90+ year old Mathushek and its pedal mechanics (also in a gorgeous room)
- A Chickering console whose beauty was only skin-deep. Its ancient plastic was disintegrating. (I'll tell you the full story soon)

The summer hiatus is coming to a close and I'm beginning to schedule everyone who has reached out while I've been away doing kayak things.

I did make a house call during the summer for a guest who had an urgent need. In the process I ran across a pneumatic player piano, which is truly a technological and mechanical marvel. This one still had a functioning bellows, which is even more rare. Enjoy these pictures, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know has a piano needing tuning!
As always, discounts apply for schools and churches.

Tuned a spinet recently in a home with a gorgeous view of the lake. I'm happy to tune in all conditions, but I can't overstate how nice a good view and good lighting is while tuning.

Summer is coming and sadly you'll see less frequent posting here on FB page. Our tuner - David (myself) - has ties to the kayak industry, particularly on Lake Hartwell and the Broad River and will be spending the majority of his time outside for the foreseeable future. (for the curious, those endeavors include Lake Hartwell Kayak Rental and Delivery and The Sandbar)

But don't let that keep you from reaching out if you're in need of piano tuning! We are squeezing in what tunings we can during the hot months, and building our fall schedule as requests arrive.

Spent some time with a couple of spinets. One was a gorgeous ~70 year old Kohler & Campbell that has sat a good while since last tuning. The other is a pristine Yamaha that features an interesting mechanical mute system that lowers a felt strip between the hammers and strings when the middle pedal is pressed.

I recently tuned a local piano that gets regular use from a high school-aged musician. While it's awesome enough for young talent to put in regular practice (look at that pedal!), I couldn't help taking a picture of a tribute that shares the room. This musician is a drummer as well, and the tribute is made of all the drum sticks he has broken in the line of duty - particularly in the HCHS marching band.
It's quite impressive.

Special mention: This piano had a guide inside with details regarding the action of the piano. I'd not seen such a guide before and found it interesting.

I recently had the opportunity to work on a piano that belonged to my wife's grandmother, and now her aunt. It's a beautiful Wurlitzer that doesn't appear to have aged a day since its purchase in the early 2000s. Service included tuning, some action lubricating, and ended with an above-and-beyond polishing. She's a special piano after all.
