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! 💗
Repent and trust in Jesus. Hes the only way. We deserve Hell because weve sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤

@@5roundsrapid263 your supposed to change piano strings every 30 years though and guitar players don't understand basic music theory how are they meant to understand how strings get dirty
Blind Andrew was organist at Sandycroft Church, Hawarden, Wales in the 1960s and played in local pubs too. They even said he walked alone 2 miles to church.
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.
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
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.
I was visiting Marina del Rey when the Northridge quake hit. I'm so very sorry you lost such a beautiful instrument. I hope you'll find a way to get another one. That's been almost 30 years ago.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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!
I have a Werlitzer from the 60s, got it at some sort of garage sale 13 years ago when I was 3, the lady seen me playing on it and told my Grandma that we could have it for free. 3 of the black keys don’t work and when you get down to the real low notes the out of tuneness is so bad that two of the white keys sound exactly the same. Might you be interested in possibly tuning it and if possible fixing the three black keys?
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
Hi @pianodoctor I'm teaching in a school here in Spain and we have two old 1902 yo. pianos (Bernardi). I wanted to tune them, but I asked in lot of places and the professionals I was talking told me it doesn't worth it. What do you think?
