What other investment can you make that promises you that?
"To ensure its performance over that lifetime, it is important to have your piano serviced regularly by a qualified professional. Complete piano service should include periodic regulation and voicing, in addition to tuning."

FAQs
How often should my piano be tuned?
If it's being played on a regular basis, at least twice a year. Otherwise, an annual tuning will suffice.
What do you recommend for piano students?
If you or your child are taking piano lessons, a well-maintained quality instrument can inspire students to stay engaged with music for the rest of their lives. I recommend purchasing the best instrument you can afford, upgrading as skills develop, and keeping your instrument in the best possible shape.
Who are some of your clients?
I tune and service pianos for The Taft School, Chase Collegiate, and Westover School, hundreds of other school and church instruments, as well as a large database of private clients. I have the pleasure of being the technician for area artists, along with several of the top piano instructors in Fairfield and Litchfield counties.
What are the benefits of a Piano Life Saver System?
What is the Action Lock Bench you refer to in your bio?
When I began working on piano actions, I saw there was a better way in the regulations procedure of a grand piano action than what was being taught to me. The action may have to be moved to and from the bench many times in the process of the regulation procedure, and this bench allows you to lock it into one position while working on it, maintaining precise parameters that the regulation procedure calls for.
