About
As a third-generation piano tuner, I derive immense pleasure from listening to pianos that have been tuned to perfection. I have had the privilege of providing my tuning services to some of the most popular artists like Smokey Robinson, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Air Supply, Frank Sinatra Jr., Hank Williams Jr., among many others. Not only that, but I also maintain the pianos for Playmakers Repertory Company UNC and North Carolina State University.

Over the course of my career, I have worked on all kinds of pianos, including Kawai, Yamaha, Steinway & Sons, Petrof, Baldwin, Mason & Hamlin, Kohler & Campbell, Knabe, Bösendorfer, and Schulze Pollmann. If you're wondering whether I can tune your piano, don't hesitate to contact me right away!

After being stood up twice by a top-rated nearby piano tuner, I contacted Bill, who promptly made time for me. Thanks to his services, my piano's sound is now pleasing to my ears, and I no longer cringe when I play. :-) Thank you, Bill!

My piano has been around for nearly half a century. Thanks to Bill's expertise in tuning and voicing, it now produces the same pristine sounds as it did when it left the factory. I eagerly anticipate availing his services in the future. He's truly remarkable! Many thanks for a job well done, Bill! Dallas Pearce, March 2023

Amazing! The piano has been revitalized! Upon evaluating it, Bill concluded that it had not been tuned in a span of 20 to 30 years. He devoted more than 60 minutes to meticulously tuning each string twice to achieve impeccable tone and appropriate harmonies. I am thrilled about employing him to tune this piano in the future!

We contacted Bill to tune our 1980's Yamaha upright piano, which had been neglected by the previous owners. He responded promptly to our initial inquiry and was very accommodating to our schedule. Bill arrived ahead of schedule for our appointment and had no trouble locating our house, which is concealed from the street. After conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the piano, Bill determined that it was in satisfactory condition internally. He successfully and quickly restored its sound quality and resolved a minor mechanical problem with one of the hammers. We plan on hiring him again to maintain the piano's tuning during seasonal weather changes!
