Whether you need piano tuning, repairs, or regulation, I’m here to help ensure that you—and your piano—are content!
A tuned, well-maintained piano is a thing of joy! Tuning your piano and having regular maintenance performed, is not only a protection of your investment, but also a source of joy every time you sit down to play.
I am proud to service North and Central New Jersey, Staten Island, and parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Our services are tailored to the needs of your piano
Tuning
I love to tune, and it’s my pleasure to create a rock-solid tuning that will last! Aside from how wonderful an in-tune piano can sound, keeping your piano in tune is a protection of your investment, and feels lighter and easier to play.
Repair
Broken, non-functional keys with chipped or missing ivories are no fun! I can make sure that every part of your piano is working as it should. String repairs, repairs of broken or missing hammers, dampers, and other parts all add up to more enjoyable playing time.
Regulation
Keeping your piano within “factory specs,” with all keys at the correct height, and all parts working together to create the best sound and feel possible, will add to the pleasure of playing and maximize your piano’s potential. Generally speaking, piano regulation should be done every 5 years.
As a professional pianist myself, I’ll provide you with the high quality of service I demand for my own instrument!

Tuning Tips & Learning
YES! Tunings are very important for beginner and intermediate piano players
Beginning and intermediate-level piano players will benefit greatly from a piano that functions as well as it possibly can. They struggle even more than a seasoned pianist on an instrument with sluggish, unresponsive keys, due to neglect and postponed maintenance. They will progress more quickly and easily (especially if they practice regularly) on an instrument that’s easy to play!
Thinking of purchasing a used piano?
I’m happy to provide advice over the phone, or I charge a fee to go out and inspect a piano you are considering…get in touch!
Not sure if your piano needs a tuning, a regulation, or both?
Give me a call and I can explain the difference between these services, and we can discuss what’s right for your needs.
