Since 1980, The Piano Doctor has been tuning, repairing, and restoring Yamaha, Steinway, Baldwin, Kimball, Wurlitzer, and all brands and different types of pianos in Rockford, Belvidere, Marengo, Winnebago and Boone counties. All tunings are done by ear, at A440 pitch, without assistance of any electronic devices.

 

Many piano experts suggest tuning your piano once every six (6) months because of seasonal weather changes that affect your pianos performance.

 

Repair work includes re-stringing the entire piano, replacing broken strings, repairing/replacing broken parts, regulation of the action, fixing sticky keys, and replacement of ivories and plastic keytops

 

Having problems with humidity, and your piano staying in tune? The Piano Doctor sells and installs the Dampp-Chaser unit which include a water tank for moisture in dry weather, a heater rod under the soundboard

for humid weather, and a humidistat to control the relative humidity at an ideal 42%. Dampp-Chaser units are proven to keep pianos in better tune from one tuning to the next, and can help guarantee that your piano remain a quality instrument for many years.

 

Have dirt and dust under the strings in your grand piano? The Piano Doctor can clean that for you.

 

Looking to buy or sell a piano? We can assist buyers and sellers in the process. For buyers, we offer inspections of a piano you are thinking of buying to give you peace of mind.

 

The Piano Doctor delivers prompt and personable service. Weekday evening appointments are available to accommodate your schedule.
