With over 30 years as a piano technician, Stoney Copelin credits his experience as a lifelong pianist for the special awareness he brings to his piano technician work. Stoney prefers to play a piano before beginning work to pick up on issues that other technicians who don’t play may not recognize. Stoney has served as the official piano technician for such organizations as the American Jazz Pianist Competition, the Young Musical Artist Association, and the Indian River Symphonic Association. He has tuned on
Stoney tunes to a tempered scale. All work is done in a traditional manor—by ear, as done by master craftsman for hundreds of years and to the current day. Stoney has gained many loyal customers due to his consistent, quality work. Tuning should be performed every 6 months, or at least once a year. Every piano and environment is unique and may require more or less upkeep. New pianos, or freshly re-strung pianos, will need at least 3 tunings the first year to settle the strings.
