🏆 Winner – Phoenix Magazine’s Best of the Valley 2025 Award!
I’m honored to share that I have been named Phoenix Magazine’s Best of the Valley 2025 in the Instrument Repair category! A heartfelt thank-you to all my wonderful clients who voted and trusted me with their pianos—this recognition is truly because of you.
Hi, I’m Kevin King, Award-Winning Piano Tuner
I’m a former engineer (Penn State) who traded the corporate world for my true passion—bringing pianos to life. In 2011, I trained in Los Angeles under Deke Erdmann, the former piano tuner for the LA Philharmonic Orchestra, gaining a deep respect for the craft and an ear for perfection. That experience ignited my love for pianos and the intricate art of tuning.
As a classically trained pianist and violinist—and guitarist on both electric and acoustic—I understand music from both a performer’s and a technician’s perspective. I’m proud to serve as the official piano tuner for the Tempe Elementary School District, and I regularly tune for churches, concert halls, and venues across the Valley.
Whether I’m preparing a Steinway grand for the concert stage or fine-tuning a cherished family upright at home, I bring the same precision, care, and musical sensitivity to every instrument I touch. My goal is simple: to make your piano sound its absolute best—so every note sings.
Your piano deserves expert attention. Let’s make it shine. 🎹

I’ve tuned for world-class musicians at Marquee Theatre, Mesa Amphitheatre, and Orpheum Theatre, for acts including:

My piano was difficult to tune as it had shifted to being very sharp. Kevin stuck with it until it was fixed. It sounds beautiful now. I will definitely be using Kevin to tune my piano in the future.

December 2, 2023I knew Kevin was professional right from the first time we spoke on the phone. His attention to detail in communication prior to his visit gave me assurance he knows pianos and takes pride in his work. He was very thorough in tuning and his price was well worth the work on our piano.

We’ve had Kevin tune our piano a few times now and he’s always punctual, professional and so kind! Our 8 year old was very curious about the process and wanted to play her piano pieces for him too. He was so supportive and gentle with her- we’re so grateful! Thank you for being a professional who supports and encourages young musicians too!

November 2, 2023I was recently reunited with my grandmother's piano, which hadn't been tuned in over 10 years. Every melody I played sounded like it came out of a haunted mansion. Kevin worked magic on that piano in less than 3 hours and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!!

It’s like a new piano was wheeled into my living room. About after an eon of cringing keys, it was time for a tune. Kevin, you transformed my Kawai! I even dusted off some old scores last night and started tapping the keys. Thank you for the life you brought back into my quiet house! It sounds fresh, clear, and ready to play.

Kevin came over and tuned, pitch raised, and cleaned my 80+ year old piano. I honestly thought the piano had become a lost cause (I had inherited it) but it plays beautifully now. Thank you, Kevin! You gave my piano a new life!
