OUR HISTORY

We have been on the Web
since 1995.
When we got on the
Web, NO ONE was helping the
do-it-yourselfer except
John Tuttle and us.

SEE OUR VERY FIRST WEB
PAGE FROM 1995 :-)

Keith Akins now manages
Steve's Piano Service.
Keith has 35+ years experience tuning pianos
in Michigan and is a member
of the Piano Technician's Guild.

We have learned that
we are the ones to beat,
and we plan to stay
that way.
How?
Service--
Bueno, Bonito, Barrato!

THE USUAL SMALL PRINT:

When you purchase parts, tools, or the CD from us, or when you apply a technique we describe in the Table of Contents, YOU are 100% liable for the results. We only stand behind the perfection of the product when it arrives at your home. After that, you are 100% on your own. If this worries you, you should call a piano technician in your area, and ask him to do the work. This disclaimer also applies to advice we may give over the phone, or in e-mail, in answer to your questions as you consider buying a product, making a repair, or tuning a piano.

Having said the above, you need to understand that we are possibly the ONLY ones in the world who go as far as we do to help you. Please have the grace to understand that YOU and God are the final authority in your fate and the fate of your piano.

Isn't it awful that we have to make such disclaimers as the above. The world is plagued by diddle heads who cannot take charge of their own lives. So, I apologize for having to ask God fearing and responsible people to read the above disclaimer.

Finally, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Also, posted prices may be changed due to price increases or errors because of our stupidity. :-)
