Are You Here Because You Recently Obtained a Used Piano?

Joe came out to our home in Chesterfield, MO and did an amazing job tuning our massively out of tune second-hand piano. A previous servicer from a different company had put us under the impression that, due to lack of care, we would have to purchase a new piano... but now we know that it's not the piano but the tuner that makes all the difference. We will definitely have Joe back next year!

Many of our clients contact us after another tuning didn’t hold, didn’t sound right, or didn’t address underlying issues. 

We do it right the first time, GUARANTEED!

I Need My Regular Seasonal Service

My Piano Hasn't Been Tuned in a Long Time

For 60 years our family has provided Professional Piano Tuning and Repair throughout Missouri.

Our legacy is built on a foundation of technical expertise and a genuine passion for music. 

Our appointments last longer and allow for more attention to be paid to every detail – we treat every piano with care, whether a spinet or concert grand.

This is how our family has approached piano tuning and repair for three generations, a tradition I am now passing to my sons as the fourth.

Joe Kemple is an amazing piano tech. Every time he’s worked on my piano it sounds nothing short of spectacular. He’s a true master of his craft and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for top-notch tuning services look no further than Burd and Sons

What a terrific asset to our artistic community! A technician equal to any task at hand, with a true appreciation for the unique characteristics of the instruments under his care. Tunings are superb, and the technical work is SUBLIME. For this you would expect to pay prices well above the market, but prices are very reasonable, and the service and responsiveness let you know that exceptional work is the rule, not the lucky exception. Trust this tech and don’t look back. Make the smart investment.

Curious Cat inside of a Piano

We were told our family piano that 3 generations of women have learned to play on would never be able to be tuned. Joe came today and had it tuned in 2 hours for the first time in 30 years. My mother wept as she watched her granddaughter play this afternoon. You can’t put a price on that. Thank you, Joe! You are our piano tuner for as long as you will have us.

I cannot speak highly enough of Joe! Everything as set up through email and online, which was perfect for me. He is great at what he does (as his other reviews attest to), but even more importantly he´s a kind, conversational person. If someone is going to be in my home for hours (for the neglected piano service tuning) its so important to be comfortable with them. Definitely recommending him to everyone i know with a piano!
