The first piano tuner we had in 1974 was an elderly gentleman in his 80's. He would regale us with ragtime and Tin Pan Alley tunes when the piano was ready and the whole family would gather 'round to listen. I know that feeling of enjoying the good music afterwards! Thank you for another lovely video putting a piano to rights! 💗

wanted to hear what it sounded like before you started tuning

Your job is inspiring to me, just to think about all the people you've made so happy gives me chills. Keep doing what you're doing bro!

I love that it’s not just the owner who satisfies with your work & play but the dog also looks so happy with the scratches 😄

Her reaction to it was amazing

meanwhile guitar player cringing at the thought of 60 year old strings

Momma was takin her shot... lol.

That piano had his golden hour.😊

It seems the dog was just as happy as the customer.😊

I remember a blind man coming into school to tune the piano once a year

You can tune a piano; but you cannot tunafish.

I absolutely love the sound of pianos that haven’t been tuned in a long time, it gives that abandoned vibe to it

you worked really hard fixing the piano and then playing golden hour on the piano, couldn’t ask for more, great vid

That's a pretty impressive sound for one of those tiny spinet pianos.

Love the quality of your videos! Great job mate! 👍

That piano sounds like the first few notes in 647

Thankyou for showing us your many piano fix ups. I enjoy watching your video clips. Have been playing piano since I was 5 years old. I am now 64. Still playing.

You are very talented. Both as a tuner and a pianist.

Inspirational. God bless❤

Even the dog was happy

I lost my piano in the '94 Northridge quake. I had use of one shortly after my husband's uncle passed away in 2011, before Uncle's piano got moved to USC (He left it to the music dept in his will, and we had to coordinate the physical transfer of property). My son got to hear his mommy play what little I could remember, and I taught him some basic music theory. I love seeing your tuning videos, because it helps me remember happy things from my own childhood.

Well-done. Glad you deal with the action system.

Thanks for posting this awesome video 🙏

Sounds beautiful!!!!!❤

Yeah, I could sit here and listen to you play all day, too!

Did not think I would be watching these videos. True Profesional. Not my thing but I enjoy watching. I remember my grandmother playing an old organ she used to have but then she got a piano. The only thing I play is the radio.

the thing with hammering it in also works with a violin! i do it to my violin a lot with my D and E strings. the wooden nobs come a little loose every once in a while so while i turn them i also apply a little pressure and they stay tuned for longer that way! :)

Even if it’s out of tune, I love the mysterious vibe 😊

Great job! Thanks.

Actually one of the best compliments i could ever recieve as a musician

We used to have a piano tuner come once a year and I always looked forward to him playing it afterwards. He would always play “A Whole New World” from Aladdin and it was lovely

Very good sound for an old piano.

Nice work. Above and beyond.

Talented piano tuner. What a skill. Seems u really enjoy. 😊

This is cool! Keep the hard work!

I got that a lot when I used to tune them. nice job!

Golden hour! Such a cool song. Only came across it at our local battle of the bands, I was helping out the students. Added straight to my playlist.

the dog😭❤❤❤

Watching your videos has actually shown me that tuning a cello is more similar to tuning a piano than I thought

The most rewarding part of a job well done is seeing the difference it makes to the people who will use and enjoy it.

hes one of the only ppl who can play golden hour well

The story of how a man went from being a piano tuner to a musical butler

Haha love the customers reaction at the end

I love watching your videos!!😊

Hey i have a piano that needs tuned but i don't have enough money but i love your videos and you do awesome work they are so lucky to have you do that

My late father was a piano tuner for over 20 years. I remember him having actions on our dining room table when I was growing up. Thanks for keeping the trade alive!

It's so handy having modern tech to help tune things, in the 60's they probably used tuning forks and their ears. I can tune a guitar by ear but it will be slightly lower than standard tuning

Tuning a piano takes about as long as setting up a new drum kit💀

the skill you have is really useful

My parents bought a piano in 1965. One of the 3 strings of one of the Ds always would slip down to a B within a day or two. The rest of the piano was kept in good tune (as far as I know, until I moved out). My sister has it now (I have my own) and I'm sure it still slips. Seeing how easy it is to fix, I can't understand why no tuna has ever done so.

Dude, even the dog liked u .. good video

As always - excellent work!😉👍😍

We needed a before to compliment the after . . .

Oh wow what a coincidence! I have the same Story & Clark Piano! It was also the first piano I tuned and fixed

this is like one of those videos where a cow with an abscessed hoof gets treatment

You can’t afford me to sit here and play all day while you’re working

The song at the end man. I love Golden Hour

Dog was also appreciative of the tuning job! lol

Thank you piano doctor ! I love piano 🎹

that's similar to how you'd do it on a string instrument with pegs, since it's just wood against wood, and they're tapered, you can push them in while tuning to get them to stick, or use peg drops, which is basically sticky stuff in a bottle that you can put on pegs to get them to stick

Glad to see violins aren't the only ones to have slipping pegs

Wood piano on a wood floor with no drapes or upholstery to absorb the tone. Magnificent!

I wanted to cry when I heard the last time it had been tuned

I Liked You Just Tune And Playing The Piano, Like That Is Some Good Talent Right There.

Your job is one of the coolest I've ever seen:') And also I don't know why, but besides of being nice, you just have a good vibe Hope you have a great day :D

And here I am with a piano tuner app and a drum key tuning my piano. Awesome clips man. I always learn more. Keep it up. Thank u

"you need to sit here all day and play while I'm working"

Thought you were gonna say “but it goes a lot fast when you do it in Timelapse”

And they say golden hour can’t be played on regular piano

I just inherited a piano from someone and these videos make me excited to get it tuned

Women love guys who can fix stuff, and guys who can play instruments. He did both; no wonder she was so happy.

I liked it more without the shell, I wish you could use a piano without the beauty box covering it. But the amount of cleaning you would have to do to that weekly makes sense on why it has the box. Piano internals are so beautiful though. And the way they move is just 😩

The untuned key sounds like a song for horror that is very familiar

it just me i hear the train alarm going off when he presses the out of tune keys 💀

I think I need to tune my bass again, been a few years, thanks for the reminder 😂

She’s so sweet I agree

If its been so long since being tuned, they'll need to call you back for a second and maybe third tuning before it can actually stay in tune for an extended period... or so I've heard

It's good to see a spinet sounding so good.

One of the first pianos I tuned hadn't been tuned for over 100 years, and I actually had to go back the next day to finish up the job.

Makes me feel better, that it takes you 3 hours to tune pianos in this condition, as it takes me 3-4 depending. I need more tools such as the one used to set the pins, as well as more mutes, but it’s getter better!

When the black note you pressed was like the one backroom video I saw

a piano over 70 years old, out of tune yet still beutiful, and the first thing u play on it is golden hour 💀

Why didn’t you do a before AND after? I want to see the improvement. I already know that you know how to tune a piano I wanna see what it sounded like before you tuned it.

Mom's reaction>>>>

Bro really likes Golden Hour lmao

**me trying to tune my violin but the pegs are tryna be funny** "oh you wanna get pushed in aggressively again huh?"

Nice job. You saved a nice little spinet.

Great knowledge to have.

THE SONG IS GOLDEN HOUR YOOOO

I love transformations like this

"It's tuned. Here's a piece with dissonances."

1960s ! That’s when my grandma was born 😊

I have a piano that has been out of tune for such a long time that when I tried to get someone to tune it, that said that they couldn’t since it was too old of a piano.

You have to be careful though with hammering in the tuning pins. We've had the pinblock form a split, and whenever you tuned up a string (which pushes the tapered pin in further), the adjacent strings would go out of tune... Eventually it would've needed a new block - too costly, unfortunately, so that piano (a lovely sounding Blühtner 1919 upright) is now gone.

Such a wholesome couple

Man, the school I work at has the exact same piano and not exactly the same problem. Last tuned in 2012 and is so out of tune that nobody plays it anymore. Your work is truly amazing. Keep up the good work and the videos!

I just had my paint tuned and some of the notes were so flat that before tuning it was almost a full semitone lower than the actual note

My great grandmas haven’t been tuned since the 1910s😰

My piano hadn't been tuned in 38 years and had moved 3 houses. The tuner said it was so bad it could never be tuned again 😢 I wish I had been able to call you to save the poor old thing

On Reddit forums I kept hearing about old pianos being worthless, but every time I see videos like this it only proves there's nothing wrong with an old piano as long as the soundboard and keys are in good condition. Although, it is a spinet (phooey).
