What causes pianos to go out of tune?
Piano strings stretch over time while humidity changes cause wood components to expand or contract. These natural processes require regular tuning to maintain proper pitch.
How often should I tune my piano?

Ken was wonderful and his service to my 100 year old piano exceeded my expectations. He cleaned, tuned and made some small repairs for a reasonable price that 2 other services told me could not be done. All in a timely manner in my own home! Best service I have ever received. Highly recommend!

Our two pianos always sound so good after they have been serviced by Ken. We also trusted him with completely renovating our grand piano, which was the best decision we have ever made in regards to our pianos. He did an amazing job and as a result we have enjoyed an instrument that's a pleasure to play on. That's from a family of musicians playing the two pianos 4 hours/day.

Integrity Piano gets all five stars. Ken Is a real professional and knows his stuff. He is very meticulous, and our piano, though just a little spinet, sounds great! He was running late the other day, but he very courteously called to inform us. We appreciated that. Thanks, Ken

Our piano is over 100 years old and Ken always tunes it to perfection! He's always on time or calls if running a little late, is super polite and has a wonderful way about him. Can't imagine having anyone else tune up our baby. Thanks Ken!

Ken is a true professional who loves what he does and it really shows. He will bring out the best in your instrument because he cares. Not everyone can afford a Steinway or Yamaha Grand piano. No matter- he will get YOUR piano sounding the best it possible can. He is a kind and patient individual. No short cuts- only the best service every time. I would highly recommend Ken to anyone with any experience level from professional to beginner. You will not be disappointed.
