🏆 Winner – Phoenix Magazine’s Best of the Valley 2025 Award!
I’m honored to share that I have been named Phoenix Magazine’s Best of the Valley 2025 in the Instrument Repair category! A heartfelt thank-you to all my wonderful clients who voted and trusted me with their pianos—this recognition is truly because of you.
Hi, I’m Kevin King, Award-Winning Piano Tuner
I’m a former engineer (Penn State) who traded the corporate world for my true passion—bringing pianos to life. In 2011, I trained in Los Angeles under Deke Erdmann, the former piano tuner for the LA Philharmonic Orchestra, gaining a deep respect for the craft and an ear for perfection. That experience ignited my love for pianos and the intricate art of tuning.
As a classically trained pianist and violinist—and guitarist on both electric and acoustic—I understand music from both a performer’s and a technician’s perspective. I’m proud to serve as the official piano tuner for the Tempe Elementary School District, and I regularly tune for churches, concert halls, and venues across the Valley.
Whether I’m preparing a Steinway grand for the concert stage or fine-tuning a cherished family upright at home, I bring the same precision, care, and musical sensitivity to every instrument I touch. My goal is simple: to make your piano sound its absolute best—so every note sings.
Your piano deserves expert attention. Let’s make it shine. 🎹

Kevin is the consummate professional from his knowledge of pianos and tuning to how to maintain them and care for a very old baby grand. He was easy to communicate with, took his time tuning my piano and wanted to make sure all my questions were answered. He even found me a product to treat the piano with. Listening to him play as he tuned was an added bonus and a treat! Thank you Kevin!

Again - I am so happy with the results of my piano tuning yesterday. Kevin did an amazing job and took great care to ensure that my keys and pedals were ready to go for me. Playing the piano today, my board sounds just lovely!!! I loved his punctuality and professionalism as he got right to work and made me feel as if I was a very important customer. This is the third time that he has tuned my piano and the results are phenomenal!! Thanks Kevin.

We would highly recommend Kevin to tune your piano. He is very knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly. He tuned our piano that is an old family heirloom and we are very happy. We had a minor issue with one key after the initial tuning and he came back the next day and fixed it quickly. We will definitely be using him again for our next tuning. Thank you Kevin!

Kevin was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was able to correct several issues on our 75 year old Weaver upright piano. He was so patient with my ignorance of what was needed and was able to make it very clear. We are so pleased with the outcome and would recommend him to anyone in need of his unbelievable skill with pianos. It was amazing to hear him play, he is very talented.

October 2, 2023I was recently reunited with my grandmother's piano, which hadn't been tuned in over 10 years. Every melody I played sounded like it came out of a haunted mansion. Kevin worked magic on that piano in less than 3 hours and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!!

Kevin tuned my piano yesterday for the first time. His excellent communication with me from the onset of setting the appointment to completing the tuning is nothing short of excellent. He provided reminders and confirmation leading up to the date and even hours and minutes until the scheduled time. He was professional and careful with our piano and did a remarkable job. His rate is very fair as well. I will definitely schedule with him again. I highly recommend him!

Great job, Kevin. The paino plays beautifully now. Thank you.

September 2, 2023Kevin arrived right on time. He was polite and professional. I essentially inherited a very old piano and I contacted him to tune it. After much discussion, and his advice. I held off for a bit. I believe he was honest with me. This is a rare trait in today’s day and age. I’m electing on getting a new style piano, one that isn’t 120 years old. I will call him to tune that and I referred him to a friend of mine that has a baby grand that needs tuning. Excellent service Kevin. I greatly appreciate your advice. Highly recommend.

Kevin does an excellent job. We trust him with all of our church’s piano tuning and repair needs.

September 2, 2023We found Kevin on Yelp; based on the great reviews, I reached out to him. He performed the piano cleaning and tuning for us yesterday, and we were very pleased. He was very professional, and is obviously a very accomplished pianist; we felt like we were at a concert as he was tuning the piano. (Thanks for the Jackson Browne memories!) The charges seemed reasonable for the work done. We wholeheartedly would recommend Kevin and his services!

September 2, 2023I'm very happy with Kevin and his service! Thrilled actually, because I liked what I saw online and easily booked him with the portal and hoped for the best. I'll add my voice to the chorus and agree that he is genuine and quality, and I will go with him again next time for piano tuning. Thanks!
