Get the best out of your piano.

Meticulous piano tuning and servicing in Hartford County, Connecticut and surrounding areas.

A musical experience shouldn't be stifled by an out-of-shape piano.

Your piano's sound and function can make or break the playing experience (and seriously dilute motivation to practice when something isn't quite right). So, whether your piano needs:

  • a simple tune-up,

  • a good cleaning,

  • protection from the elements,

  • or a total overhaul,

—we'll handle it with the care and expertise it deserves.

Hey there, I'm John, founder of CT Piano.

I grew up playing on a piece of junk.

It's what we had and we were grateful, but our piano was an old, out of tune junker.
It wasn't until I started playing nice, well-maintained pianos that my playing really took off. Without the restrictions of a gunked-up this or that, I could play without hindrance. Since then, I've diligently built a company around bringing the best sound out of each piano my team and I service.

Take your performance to the next level.

Whether a freebie from Craigslist or a family heirloom, we'll treat your piano with white-glove care.

You can expect that—

We know our stuff.

With hundreds of happy, piano-loving clients to prove it, my team and I have been maintaining and transforming all shapes and sizes of pianos for well over a decade.

We tell the whole truth.

In some sad scenarios, a piano's refurbishment will cost more than it will ever be worth. No matter the hard truth, we'll give it to you straight—before you spend a dime.

We speak your language.

No matter if you're a piano buff like us or a newbie finding your way, we'll meet you where you are. Just check our Google reviews that showcase our relatability.

What others are saying…

  • “The technician was very friendly and took time to explain what could be done to help improve the sound and workings of the piano. He recommended some things that should be done now (like tuning and fixing the loose keys), and some things that could be done in the future if I so desired. I felt no pressure to do more than what I thought needed to be done. He did a very good job and played a mean Maple Leaf Rag at the end to test his work. I would highly recommend CT Piano to all my family and friends.”

    -Randy M

  • “We are so happy to have met John walking our dog. He is in the process of returning our long neglected piano to its former glory. A long-range process, we already can hear the fruits of his labor after one visit the moment he and we sat down to play, He is very pleasant, knowledgeable, and interested in explaining and addressing questions. Everything he plans to do is laid out for you as well as additional options and the cost for each provided. We found all of this helpful, especially for a multi-visit project. Highly recommend.”

    -Cindy S

  • “We hit the jackpot hiring CT Piano, to tune our very neglected piano. We haven't been the best piano parents, to put it lightly. However, John took the time to patiently and thoroughly, look things over and explain everything to us, in an honest, straightforward way. John was warm, friendly, kind and a complete pleasure to meet. He's the real deal, he's knows his stuff folks. Also, he's a hell of a piano player! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉”

    -J M

  • “John was on time for our tuning appointment and is a very pleasant man. He thoroughly checked our piano, tuned it and made several recommendations for it.

    He followed it up by playing a great little song. We will be seeing him again.

    I highly recommend him and his expertise.”

    -Charles C

  • “The piano tuner was friendly and very professional. He clearly indicated to me what needed to be done and broke it down into cost effective stages in a way that allowed me to decide what should be done first. Even though it had been 10 years since the last tuning he made my piano sound great! I will definitely be continuing to use CT Piano’s services.”

    -Ronald M

  • “John is a true professional and is clearly passionate about his craft. He was right on time for the visit to initially evaluate the piano. His deep knowledge and experience comes through immediately and you know you're in goods hands. In fact, without hesitation, John advised us not to put any money into the piano (which we had gotten for free) based on his evaluation. Even though this would result in the loss of work, his guidance saved us from a lot of headaches and a poor investment. He's now assisting us to find the right piano as well as find some short term solutions which we're very excited about. We will absolutely be using CT Piano for all our piano needs moving forward.”

    -Benjamin R

  • “This is the first time that John tuned our piano. He is very friendly and professional. We are happy with his service and have booked the second piano tuning service for the coming fall in 2022.”

    -Yinshan F

  • “John has been tuning and servicing my piano since I bought it about four years ago. He is extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make sure I am happy with the instrument after each visit. He is also an extremely kind and pleasant person. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get the most out of their piano.”

    -Antonio C

  • “John is kind, courteous, patient, and did an excellent job tuning our much-neglected piano. We are happy with how it sounds after tuning it, and we now know what needs to be addressed to further improve its performance. He was also aware of my daughter’s medical issues and took precautions to keep her safe. We couldn’t be happier.”

    -Laura C

  • “Very happy with our experience with CT Piano. John was great about coming up with a comprehensive plan of action to get our family piano caught up on needed maintenance. He was friendly and professional and did great work, even while fielding questions from a very curious toddler! Would certainly recommend his business and looking forward to working with him in the future.”
