Your piano is more than an instrument. It can be a family heirloom, a source of music and memories, or an important part of your home. Your piano is valuable. So is the trust you place in the person who cares for it.

Your Piano Deserves Expert Care

A piano is a remarkably complex instrument. Its sound and feel depend on thousands of individual parts working together precisely.

With more than three decades of experience, I help piano owners keep their instruments sounding beautiful, playing properly, and performing at their best.

Whether your piano needs a routine tuning, careful adjustment, repair, or extensive restoration, I'll evaluate the instrument and explain what it needs—without recommending unnecessary work.

Before You Buy, Know What You're Buying

A piano can look beautiful on the outside and still have significant mechanical or structural problems that aren't immediately visible. Before you acquire a piano, I provide a discreet, meticulous assessment and a considered professional opinion on its condition, performance and long-term value. A modest investment in expert guidance can help protect you from costly, unforeseen repairs while bringing clarity and confidence to your purchase.  Each assessment includes a comprehensive visual and mechanical examination, together with a detailed playing and listening evaluation. This service is especially valuable when considering a pre-owned or vintage instrument, including pianos by Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, Bösendorfer, Yamaha and Kawai. The assessment fee is credited towards any repair work.

A few hundred dollars spent on an assessment can save you thousands in unexpected repairs—and give you confidence in your purchase.

Experience You Can Hear

I've had the privilege of working on pianos for private owners, musicians, music organizations and professional performances throughout my career.

My work has included concert and festival piano preparation, as well as the everyday care of instruments that are deeply important to the families who own them.

That range of experience matters.

Every piano is different. My approach is to listen carefully—to the instrument and to the person who plays it—and then determine what will make the greatest difference.

A Personal Approach to Piano Care

When you invite a piano technician into your home, you're trusting that person with something valuable.

I believe that trust should be earned.

I'll take the time to understand your piano, explain what I'm finding, and give you straightforward recommendations. Whether you have a modest family piano or a treasured Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai, or vintage instrument, it deserves thoughtful, professional care.

Is Your Piano Due for a Tuning?

If you're not sure when your piano was last tuned—or you simply know that it doesn't sound or feel quite right—it's probably time to have it evaluated.

Regular tuning helps your piano sound its best and can help prevent larger problems from developing.

And if your piano hasn't been tuned in years, don't worry. That's more common than you might think.

I'll assess its condition and let you know what it needs.
