🏆 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. 🎹

I’ve tuned for world-class musicians at Marquee Theatre, Mesa Amphitheatre, and Orpheum Theatre, for acts including:

Kevin came yesterday to tune our baby grand which has been about a year since he did the previous tuning. No pitch raise was required, but it was out of tune. 90 minutes in and out and the tone is noticeably richer. HIghly recommend Kevin King for his professionalism, quality, price and service. Your piano will thank you.

January 17, 2025Kevin came over and tuned, pitch raised, and cleaned my 80+ year old piano. I honestly thought the piano had become a lost cause (I had inherited it) but it plays beautifully now. Thank you, Kevin! You gave my piano a new life!

It’s like a new piano was wheeled into my living room. About after an eon of cringing keys, it was time for a tune. Kevin, you transformed my Kawai! I even dusted off some old scores last night and started tapping the keys. Thank you for the life you brought back into my quiet house! It sounds fresh, clear, and ready to play.

Kevin just tuned my Yamaha upright spinet piano on January 3, 2025. As always, he was personable, professional and thorough. He explained the process as he went and did a superlative job. I strongly recommend Kevin King for any piano tuning needs.

January 5, 2025Kevin 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!

Kevin tuned my beautiful grand piano yesterday, for the 2nd time in two years. Playing my piano after Kevin tunes it, is like driving a brand new car...it's just a fantastic experience. I booked the appointment 3 weeks ago online, and got a reminder of our appointment a few days ahead of time. He arrived right on time, did an EXPERT tuning and I couldn't be happier. I have recommended him to others and every single person has been thrilled. He is priced a little higher than others, but he is worth every bit. You get what you pay for, and if you want the very best in the business, you pay for it. I will use Kevin as my official tuner and continue to recommend him. As a professional pianist, I only want the best for my piano and I have that with Kevin. I won't use anyone else when it comes to tuning/servicing my piano. It's PERFECT when he finishes the job. THANK YOU KEVIN!!

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!

July 13, 2025I 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!!

Just had Kevin Tune My baby grand. Hired him based on amazing reviews. Also recommended by my piano teacher. Kevin was as advertised. Took his time and did an amazing job. Answered all my questions. Also, the following day I had a question and he responded within minutes. I look forward to Kevin tuning my piano again in the future.

I knew Kevin was professional right from the first time we spoke on the phone. His attention to detail in communication prior to his visit gave me assurance he knows pianos and takes pride in his work. He was very thorough in tuning and his price was well worth the work on our piano.

Kevin was great! My husband and I moved into a house that had room for my mom's piano. She hadn't had it tuned since about 2000! He was able to fix a stuck key, re-attach the piano stand, and get our piano in tune in less than 2 hours. The fact that he also plays beautifully while working was a bonus. We will absolutely use him again!

September 2, 2023On time. Professional. Very knowledgeable. We were gifted a free piano and Kevin cleaned and tuned it. As a bonus, you get to listen to beautiful music while he tunes.
