My Approach
As an instrument, the piano boasts a rich history of over 300 years. It has been the instrument of choice for many of the greatest composers and musicians. Arvin approaches piano tuning and maintenance with both historic awareness and with the latest technology and tools. Arvin utilizes both traditional aural tuning and the very best in digital tuning tools.
Regular Care
A regularly tuned piano stays in tune much better. A piano should be tuned and maintained regularly to sound and feel it’s best
Tonal Philosophy
A good piano should both whisper with a delicate pianissimo and engulf us with a roaring fortissimo. Expert voicing helps a piano achieve it’s dynamic potential.
