A Different Kind of Service Visit
For instruments where the details matter.
A piano can be close to pitch and still sound unsettled. Single notes shimmer, chords feel wide, and touch becomes uneven. Sometimes a mechanical issue makes a tuning problem look bigger than it is.
I treat the piano as both a technical system and a musical instrument. Tuning starts with pitch and stability, then moves into temperament, unisons, and the details that decide whether the finished piano sounds clean and usable.
Core Services
Piano service without the oversized menu.
Most clients need one of three things: a piano tuned properly, a mechanical concern evaluated, or help understanding an instrument before spending more money on it.
Piano Tuning
Fine tuning, pitch correction when necessary, stable temperament, and clean unisons for upright and grand pianos.
If the piano is significantly flat or unstable, I evaluate its condition first so the work matches what the instrument can realistically hold.
Regulation & Mechanical Concerns
Sticky keys, uneven touch, sluggish repetition, pedal problems, broken components, voicing concerns, and other action issues can change how a piano feels and how a tuning is perceived.
The goal is not to build a repair list. It is to identify what matters now, what can wait, and what will actually improve the instrument.
Used Piano Evaluation
A used piano can look impressive and still carry expensive mechanical, structural, tuning, or stability problems.
An independent evaluation helps you understand what you are getting before you move, buy, or invest more money in the instrument.
What “Detail-First” Means
The appointment is not a race across 88 keys.
Most tuning appointments take 90–120 minutes or more, depending on the piano’s pitch, stability, and condition, and on what turns up during the visit.
Some pianos need a straightforward maintenance tuning. Others need pitch correction before fine tuning makes sense. Sometimes the tuning is only part of what the player is noticing. The piano in front of me sets the approach, not a script.
How Appointments Work
Scheduling should be as clear as the service.
I work on planned service routes rather than open-ended daily dispatch. Online scheduling keeps available dates, instrument details, travel, and preparation in one place.
Open the scheduler and choose the service that best matches your piano.
Appointments are prepaid. Dates are not held while payment is pending.
Include concerns, instrument information, event timing, or anything else that helps.
Your appointment is coordinated within the route schedule for your area.
Schools, churches, and organizations may request advance purchase-order approval. Scheduling is confirmed only after payment is received, unless different terms are approved in writing.
Residential · Institutional · Performance
A piano is not just another appliance in the room.
I have worked on family instruments, churches, institutional pianos, performance settings, and professional grand pianos throughout Northeast Wisconsin.
A family upright, a teaching instrument, a church piano, and a recital grand do not need the same approach. The work should reflect how the piano is actually used.
Technician + Musician Perspective
Jason Davies
I own Fifth Octave, and I approach piano service with more than forty years at the keyboard in addition to my work as a piano technician.
That matters because tuning is not just making a display show the right frequency. The finished piano has to sound coherent to a player. Temperament, unisons, touch, tone, and stability all decide whether it actually feels finished.
You can expect straightforward communication, careful work, and a clear explanation when something beyond routine tuning deserves attention.
