Professional Piano Maintenance and Quality Services
I provide a high standard of care for modern upright and grand pianos, with particular expertise in San Francisco’s unique microclimates. By accounting for the city’s varied humidity levels, I help ensure your instrument remains stable, responsive, and performing at its best year-round.
What I Offer
Piano Services
From routine maintenance to complex restorative work, I provide a comprehensive range of services to keep your piano performing at its best. If you have specific concerns or a project in mind, I am happy to assess your instrument and recommend the most appropriate course of care.
-
Essential for pitch stability and tonal beauty.
-
For instruments that haven't been tuned in 4+ years, a pitch restoration is performed to safely return the strings to proper tension.
-
Adjusting the thousands of moving parts (the "action") back to factory specifications to restore a smooth, responsive touch.
-
Expert on-site repairs for sticking keys, broken strings, and mechanical issues.
-
Replacing worn-out components to breathe new life into your cherished instrument.
The Working Residency
As an avid surfer and swimmer, I offer a unique 'working residency' for homeowners with vacation properties near surf breaks, swimmable rivers, or homes with private pools. Think of this as a professional service for destination homes.
For these destination projects, I provide a professional discount on my standard hourly rate ($100/hr vs. my normal $140/hr) in exchange for a stay at the property. This is an ideal way to get factory-level tuning, regulation, or rebuilding done on a second home or retreat while I’m in the area for a surf or swim.
If your getaway property has a piano that needs expert attention, I’d love to coordinate a visit.
