Manufacturers recommend having your piano tuned at least once a year. Pianos drift out of tune gradually—so gradually, in fact, that you may not even notice it happening. But for your piano to remain at its healthiest, regular tuning is essential. Think of it like changing the oil in your car. After all, a piano holds literal tons of string tension and contains around 2,000 working parts, which is a tremendous amount of pressure and complexity to keep in balance!

What does it take to be a JP tuner? Each of our tuners complete 200 in-shop tunings before they head into the field; it would typically take an independent tuner three to five years to amass this number of tunings that JP requires our tuners to accomplish in a one year cycle.
Beyond the basics, our tuners come from one of the few and far between true piano builders that still exist. This allows our tuners to gain rare experience and knowledge that you’ll only the most well-rounded, seasoned professionals, straight from the beginning!
