Who I am

I am currently a high school student at Strongsville High School in Strongsville, Ohio. I have over eight years of experience playing the piano and have recently developed a keen interest in piano tuning. With one year of practical experience in tuning and regulating a variety of pianos, including both upright and grand models from diverse brands, I aim to deliver cost-effective, efficient, and high-quality service in all my tuning endeavors.

My Services

  • Precise ear tuning: I use a listening-based method for piano tuning, focusing on a personal touch. This technique highlights the importance of hearing the sounds naturally, rather than relying on technology. By paying attention to how the piano's tones interact, I provide a sound that truly captures the spirit of the instrument.
  • Cost effectiveness: I offer competitive pricing that is lower than the industry standard for piano technicians, enhancing affordability for clients while demonstrating my commitment to high-quality piano tuning and regulation.
  • Communication and Collaboration: I will maintain consistent communication throughout the entire service process, from the initial appointment scheduling to the completion of the piano tuning.
  • My Very Best: I am dedicated to providing exceptional quality in every piano tuning, whether for a new Steinway or a century-old upright. I tailor my techniques to meet each client's unique needs, ensuring satisfaction and optimal performance for all instruments.
