🏆 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. 🎹

September 2, 2023Kevin was on time, helped remind me of a few things I should do to care for my piano. He was a pleasure to have around, and I loved hearing him play as he finished up. His website is very convenient for scheduling and rescheduling appointments.

I'm very happy with Kevin and his service! Thrilled actually, because I liked what I saw online and easily booked him with the portal and hoped for the best. I'll add my voice to the chorus and agree that he is genuine and quality, and I will go with him again next time for piano tuning. Thanks!

September 2, 2023Kevin 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!

Kevin just tuned my Yamaha upright spinet piano on January 3, 2025. As always, he was personable, professional and thorough. He explained the process as he went and did a superlative job. I strongly recommend Kevin King for any piano tuning needs.

January 5, 2025Kevin tuned my beautiful grand piano yesterday, for the 2nd time in two years. Playing my piano after Kevin tunes it, is like driving a brand new car...it's just a fantastic experience. I booked the appointment 3 weeks ago online, and got a reminder of our appointment a few days ahead of time. He arrived right on time, did an EXPERT tuning and I couldn't be happier. I have recommended him to others and every single person has been thrilled. He is priced a little higher than others, but he is worth every bit. You get what you pay for, and if you want the very best in the business, you pay for it. I will use Kevin as my official tuner and continue to recommend him. As a professional pianist, I only want the best for my piano and I have that with Kevin. I won't use anyone else when it comes to tuning/servicing my piano. It's PERFECT when he finishes the job. THANK YOU KEVIN!!

April 13, 2025It’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 tuned my piano which I don't believe has ever been tuned! It sounds like a brand new piano now! He was professional and efficient and enjoyed listening to him play as well. Thanks Kevin!

July 13, 2025Kevin's awesome - one of if not the most proficient piano tuner I've ever met. He was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and made it an all around really excellent experience. I cannot recommend highly enough.

We found Kevin on Yelp; based on the great reviews, I reached out to him. He performed the piano cleaning and tuning for us yesterday, and we were very pleased. He was very professional, and is obviously a very accomplished pianist; we felt like we were at a concert as he was tuning the piano. (Thanks for the Jackson Browne memories!) The charges seemed reasonable for the work done. We wholeheartedly would recommend Kevin and his services!

October 2, 2023On time. Professional. Very knowledgeable. We were gifted a free piano and Kevin cleaned and tuned it. As a bonus, you get to listen to beautiful music while he tunes.

I 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.
