Book your piano tuning appointment now!

Welcome!

I’ve been a full time piano technician for over 30 years and I have to admit, it’s a great job! I have come to take it for granted for the most part but every once in a while it occurs to me how lucky I am to be around musical instruments all day long. The piano in particular is a marvel of mechanical engineering. It is without a doubt the most complex stringed instrument in the world. A piano technician has to be able to tune, repair and restore the finest (and most expensive) pianos as well as the most fragile family heirlooms and even the “free to a good home” practice piano, all with the same goal in mind, to bring out the best that that particular piano is capable of. That is my goal.

This website began as an online billboard for my local piano tuning and repair business but I soon realized that people from all over Canada were finding it and they were looking for all kinds of piano information. As a result I have added other piano information as well as relating my own experience with Canadian, American and Asian made pianos. However, my real purpose for the website is to stay in contact with my clients as well as piano owners and potential piano owners here in my own service area. If you are in need of piano service here in Ontario’s “Golden Horseshoe” I would be happy to hear from you.
