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 Ellisville Homes

Ellisville’s wooded ridges and proximity to the Great Rivers Greenway create seasonal humidity patterns that can subtly but consistently affect piano performance. Swings in moisture often lead to sticky keys, uneven action, and tuning drift, especially in instruments housed in homes with large windows or vaulted ceilings. Standard tunings may temporarily correct pitch, but without tailored regulation, these pianos are prone to recurring instability.

We regularly service instruments throughout Ellisville, including homes near Bluebird Park, areas within the Rockwood School District, and neighborhoods along Clarkson Road and Manchester Road. By adapting our tuning and action regulation to the local climate, we ensure each piano maintains consistent pitch, reliable touch, and long-term mechanical integrity.

Burd and Sons brings Joe Kemple’s 38 years of professional experience directly to your home. Our expertise, combined with a deep understanding of Ellisville’s environmental patterns, keeps each piano performing at its best, season after season, while protecting its structural and tonal longevity.

Joe did a wonderful job on our 1923 baby grand. It sounds like it’s brand new! After years of younger grandchildren just pounding on it, Joe lovingly made our piano a true instrument again. Warm, personable and truly a joy to have as a new friend, Joe is welcome back any time. We look forward to a long relationship with him.
