Why I Tune Pianos
I'm deeply into music, and it's been more than just a hobby for me—it's a full-blown passion. From playing live with bands to front of house engineering in venues, every different sound has fascinated me, and it's the little details that make each piece unique that really gets me going. Working in recent years selling new and used acoustic pianos with Eugene Piano Company has allowed the piano to steal my heart with its classic charm and complex nature.
Digging deeper, it's not just about playing pretty tunes for me; it's about understanding the nitty-gritty of how a piano works. I've spent a ton of time learning the ins and outs of tuning and fixing acoustic pianos. It's been a long journey, with countless hours dedicated to figuring out the secrets hidden inside each piano. Every note I work on is like a small victory, marking my love for this craft.
Through all this hard work, I've turned my passion into a career. Sound and the piano, which used to be my inspiration, is now the canvas where I bring my newfound professional dreams to life.
My Approach
When I'm tuning pianos in people's homes, I approach it with a mix of precision and an understanding of each piano's unique vibe. I take the time to really get the feel of the piano, considering its condition, personality, and history.
My process is a blend of skill and artistry, gently aligning each note just right. I respect the importance of music in your home, aiming to do more than just tuning – I want it to be a transformative experience where your piano's soul matches the vibe of your space.
As I fine-tune, I'm not just restoring clarity; I'm also bringing in a fresh musical energy, leaving behind a tuned piano and a home filled with the echoes of a perfectly tuned melody.
Who I Am
I'm just a guy navigating this chaotic and unpredictable world. Thank goodness for music.
