Piano Tuning

Hi, I'm Nathan. I've been tuning pianos since 2019 and I am a 2nd generation piano tuner. When I was a toddler my father would take me to watch him tune pianos all around the North State. Here's an article written about us. The best decision I ever made was to take up his business and learn all I could from him.

Music is my greatest passion in life. I love pianos. Behind every piano there is a personality, a story, and an adventure.

It is truly such a blessing to give the gift of music to my clients.

In addition to fixing pianos, I also love to perform! Music is my favorite thing to do, so I've been playing in bands for over 15 years. I love to play Jazz, Irish Music, and more.

Testimonials

  • Nathan arrived right on time, worked carefully for several hours and was very professional. I'm not a piano expert but someone who played afterwards, said it sounded great. Nathan also took time to answer my questions and to explain things clearly. Highly recommend.

  • I was a pastor at Sacred heart Church in Red Bluff from 2018-20224. I used Nathan to tune all our pianos each year, and continue use him, although I'm now an hour away, because I appreciate his punctuality, honesty, and the quality of his work. I recommend Nathan highly.

  • We recently had our piano tuned by Nathan. This was an old piano that was given to us from another family. Even though Nathan tunes pianos that are of much higher quality than this one, he gave our piano all the attention he would have given to a more valuable one. We would highly recommend him.

  • I cannot recommend Nathan highly enough. He came recommended by our neighbor who we trust and he blew us away by delivering white glove service. He is reliable, efficient, highly knowledgeable and thorough. His passion for tuning is evident by the thorough attention he displayed tuning our newly restored 1920s Steinway Model M. We are thrilled to have found Nathan and look forward to having him tune our piano for years to come!

FAQs

  • Typically 2 hours. If your piano is in good condition, then less. If it hasn’t been tuned in over a decade, then closer to 3 hours.

  • Yes! I will fix any sticking keys while tuning. Free of charge!

  • Unfortunately no. Player pianos are often built with old technology that’s hard to come by. You would need to find a technician who’s a specialist in restoring player pianos. They are a very rare breed and usually very expensive.

  • Usually, Yes! Most players have accessible strings and tuning pins. However, I can’t tune the player pianos that have their machinery in the way without stripping the machine (they’re usually broken anyways).

  • Not at the moment!

  • If you live in Redding, there is a non-profit piano moving organization that can help rehome your piano or get you a piano for free. It is called Redding Piano Angels.
