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!

My Piano Hasn't Been Tuned in a Long Time

Expert piano maintenance and tuning throughout Ballwin and surrounding areas

Piano Tuning Tailored to Ballwin Homes

Ballwin’s mix of suburban neighborhoods and river-adjacent microclimates creates unique challenges for piano maintenance. Homes near Vlasis Park, The Pointe, and the streets within the Parkway and Rockwood School Districts often experience seasonal swings in humidity and temperature that can cause a piano’s tuning to drift or action components to respond unevenly. Standard tunings frequently fail to hold under these conditions, making a precision-focused approach essential.

When servicing pianos throughout Castlewood, Winchester, and along Manchester Road, we adjust our techniques to stabilize pitch and regulate action components affected by Ballwin’s specific environmental patterns. This ensures long-term tuning consistency and optimal mechanical performance.

Burd and Sons brings Joe Kemple’s 38 years of professional experience directly to your home, applying a nuanced understanding of Ballwin’s climate, housing, and piano usage patterns. Our work is designed to keep your piano sounding and performing at its best, no matter the seasonal shifts unique to this area.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Burd & Sons, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Joe did a wonderful job tuning my late brother's piano, taking great care and showing genuine respect for the instrument. His expertise was evident as he helped me achieve the best possible sound, bringing the piano back to life with a rich, harmonious tone. He was not only professional but also kind and understanding, making the entire process smooth and pleasant. I highly recommend these services to anyone seeking a skilled and thoughtful piano tuner.

Thanks Joe for coming and helping with our piano! Start to finish, our experience with St. Louis Piano Tuning was great. The website was easy to navigate, transparent pricing, prompt response, and excellent, knowledgable service. Thank you!

Joe is fantastic... Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. Oh, and he really know his stuff too - our piano has never sounded and looked better. Highly recommended.

Joe is super charming and great. A few years back when I lived in NYC I "inherited" a piano from a neighbor, a Steinway upright that I never knew anything about. Joe took the piano apart, identified by the serial number its year of manufacture (1961), discovered a recently languishing humidifier system inside the piano and set that working again. After years of tuners just coming in, tuning the piano and getting out, it was great to have someone help me "get to know" my piano and set it on nice footing again. Joe is also lovely to talk to. Highly recommend!!

Joe was wonderful!!! He went out of his way to help us with our piano. He stopped by to pick up a part that needed to be remade. He kept us updated as to when he was able to come by, and when he did, he was thorough, professional, and kind. Our older pianos (we have two from our parents) are both working and we couldn't be happier! Thank you so much!!!!

Joe has all the qualities of someone who cares for his customers and their beloved pianos. He has tuned my spinet 2 years in a row, the first time after 20 years! This time, it just needed some of his TLC and it sounded lovely.
