How often should a piano be tuned in Lake St. Louis?

For pianos in Lake St. Louis, we recommend professional tuning at least once per year. Because the micro-climate near the lake leads to significant humidity shifts, annual tuning is the minimum required to stabilize string tension and protect the soundboard from these seasonal changes.

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!

Piano Tuning for Lake St. Louis Homes

Lake St. Louis’s waterfront neighborhoods, including areas near Lake St. Louise, create seasonal humidity patterns that uniquely affect piano performance. Increased moisture can cause soundboards to expand, putting upward tension on the strings and subtly sharpening pitch, while also affecting key action and mechanical stability if not addressed with a precision-focused approach.

We regularly service pianos throughout Lake St. Louis, including homes overlooking the water, near Boulevard Park, and within the Wentzville School District. Our tuning and regulation techniques are tailored to these local environmental conditions, ensuring each piano maintains consistent pitch, smooth action, and long-term mechanical integrity.

Burd and Sons brings Joe Kemple’s 38 years of professional experience directly to your home. By combining master-level technique with a deep understanding of Lake St. Louis’s lakefront microclimates, we keep every piano mechanically sound, tonally stable, and enjoyable to play year-round.

"I have a piano that may never have been tuned and Joe very successfully took on the challenge (and my dog liked him!). Thank you Joe, see you next year for the next tuning!"

Joe was spectacular and I am so glad I booked the New Customer Service with Burd & Sons! The online interface I booked with was fast, convenient, simple, and thorough. Joe came for the service a few days later and was so sweet with my 4 year old daughter who had lots of questions about what he was doing and he patiently and kindly explained everything to her, really nurturing her love and interest in the instrument. Our piano hasn't been touched for nearly a decade (until we recently got it out of storage) so Joe said it may need a lot of extra maintenance, but then was surprised to find it needed very little tuning and cleaning! Just luck of the draw that it was in great condition, and he didn't need to spend much time on it. He was super honest about it and charged me a lower price than the new service cost I was quoted on the website. I can't remember the last time a professional saved me money instead of taking advantage of me!!! I will absolutely be contacting Joe for all my future piano needs and will recommend him in a heartbeat to anybody looking to care for their instruments!
