A second chance?!?!

I know we love our instruments but sometimes you come across one that has served well and is at the end of its time.
This piano is one of those. It went many years without being serviced and the strings have rusted and broken.

I propose we give this one a new life and want your input on what to do next.

Should we turn it into a desk, a drink station or do you have a different suggestion? Leave a comment!

With school back in session and the weather starting to change it is a perfect time to get your piano tuned and ready for the holidays!

I recently retired from the Marine Corps and have opened a music repair shop in Carteret County. I have been repairing woodwind and brass insturments since 2007 and have been tuning pianos since 2018. Call or text at 602-515-8878 for a quote and to schedule your tuning.

Pianos are affected by many factors including frequency of use, being moved around, changes in temperature, humidity, and age. These can all affect the strings inside the piano causing them to sound wonky. This is why it is important to have your piano tuned every 1-3 years depending on use.

I offer onsite piano tuning, which involves adjusting each string in the piano so that it produces not only the desired pitch but also matches and blends with the other strings and keys in the piano. This will get your piano sounding so good that you will look forward to hearing it!

Welcome!

Music is a universal language allowing us to express things that we can’t put into words.

Every person deserves the chance to express themselves in their life’s sound track.

This is best done with a well maintained instrument.

For this reason I became the Music Mechanic. I specialize in band instrument repair and piano tuning.

I have professional training and have more than 10 years of professional experience allowing me to provide you with professional quality repairs and maintenance for your musical instruments.

I look forward to helping musicians of all levels in eastern North Carolina find the joy that comes from playing a well maintained instrument.
