Are You Here Because You Recently Obtained a Used Piano?

Sherry K.Chesterfield
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 Richmond Heights Homes

Richmond Heights, positioned between Clayton and South County, hosts a variety of pianos—from vintage uprights to modern grands—that are directly affected by Missouri’s seasonal humidity swings. Changes in moisture can cause soundboards and action components to expand or contract, resulting in pitch drift, uneven key response, and mechanical wear if not addressed with precise, climate-aware tuning and regulation.

We regularly service pianos throughout Richmond Heights, including homes within the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District and neighborhoods near The Heights and the Saint Louis Galleria. Our approach emphasizes action regulation, pitch stabilization, and environmental adaptation tailored to Richmond Heights’ local conditions, keeping each piano performing reliably year-round.

Burd and Sons delivers Joe Kemple’s 38 years of professional experience directly to your home. By combining master-level technique with an understanding of Richmond Heights’ geographic and climatic factors, we ensure every piano remains mechanically sound, tonally stable, and enjoyable to play for years to come.

"Joe did an amazing job of bringing my old CABLE piano back to life! I haven't played for years, and so the piano was terribly out of tune and several keys didn't work. Joe was able to tune the piano, fix the unresponsive keys and restore my piano to a lovely sound. I am grateful for Joe's expertise and professionalism and look forward to playing again!"

We had an embarrassingly out of tune Steinway piano in need of TLC after a move from Philadelphia and years of neglect. Joe came by and spent the better part of an afternoon making it sound rich and lovely again. He came recommended by the Chen family and we were not disappointed! Looking forward to hearing the kids make beautiful music. Thanks Joe!

Booking online made it super easy, communication was fantastic, and Joe did an amazing job getting my piano tuned and pedals working. My piano is back in prime condition in just a little over an hour for a very reasonable price. Joe was super professional and couldn’t recommend Burd & Sons more!
