About
I am a skilled technician and tuner with extensive experience in various settings, such as private homes, concert halls, and recording studios. Initially, I apprenticed with a top-tier technician in California, taught piano technology in the Apollo School of Music & Arts and worked alongside some of the most talented piano rebuilders in San Francisco before relocating to the east coast.My expertise is in ensuring your piano is free of unpleasant sounds, such as sticky keys, squeaks, and buzzes. By employing my knowledge and skills, I can make your professional-grade piano produce heavenly melodies to match its swift action.
My name is Levi, and I possess an engineering degree in circuit design, which extends to hand assembling guitar effects pedals. Music is a passion of mine, and I play the bass, piano, and other instruments proficiently. I have toured with bands, composed music for PBS, created jingles briefly, and am a foley artist for video games. When I have free time, I share educational content on my TikTok channel with over 100,000 viewers, and I specialize in tuning theory, acoustic science, and AI-generated music. My goal is to unite math, science, and music on my platform to inspire others to approach music differently.
I offer a broad range of services, including tuning/pitch raising, key repairs, pedal adjustments and repairs, and much more.

Levi's service is outstanding! He is highly informed and efficient. My piano sounds dramatically improved after his tuning, and without a doubt, I will call him in the near future for further service. Many thanks!

Levi's services were phenomenal! He reinvigorated my grandmother's piano, which had not been tuned in a long time. Levi was prompt, receptive, and conducted himself in a highly professional manner. We will undoubtedly enlist his expertise for all of our upcoming tuneup needs.

Being someone who enjoys tinkering, I decided to research how to tune our upright piano, which had been sitting unused for years prior to us acquiring it from the previous owners when we moved in. However, I soon discovered that the task was more complicated than I had anticipated and required professional assistance. This is when Levi came into the picture. He spent over three hours meticulously tuning, tweaking, repairing and cleaning our piano from the 1920s era. Being curious about the process, I observed him while he worked and he provided engaging conversation while answering my questions and updating me on every detail. With his honest assessment and expertise, he was able to resurrect the piano and bring it back to life. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and will definitely bring him back for future tuning!

Levi's performance was superb. I entrusted him with the task of tuning a severely out of tune piano, which he diligently worked on multiple times. He executed a pitch raise technique and made key adjustments to resolve a sticking issue. Connecting with him through CrackerJacks made it effortless to discuss the necessary work over the phone and receive a precise estimate. I am exceedingly satisfied with his work and will certainly employ his services again in the future!

Levi was informed that the piano he was tasked with tuning belonged to our nonprofit's fundraising gala's guest entertainer, a Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter. Despite the pressure, Levi showcased his talent and skill, making the piano sing and meticulously cleaning every inch of it. The singer was pleased with the results. Working with Levi was a delightful and professional experience. He is an absolute whiz at what he does.
