Servicing Pianos In Homes, Concert Halls, Teaching Studios, Churches, and Other Organizations
The age and condition of your piano, how often it is played, and where it is stored determine your servicing needs. I am happy to set a service schedule customized to your piano and usage.
III
Providing Tuning Services and More!
Why is tuning so important? Everyone who enjoys music, whether it is country, jazz, Christian, classical, etc., should realize that to produce this music requires exact tuning standards that have to be met by every instrument and voice. If this were not true, our ears would immediately discern the differences and we would immediately find the music unacceptable. Just watch shows, like American Idol or America’s Got Talent to see that any contestant who can’t stay in tune is laughed off the show. Why? Because tuning is so critical to music.

Cal Champine, Registered Piano Technician.
Linda Sproul

Cal is a leader in best practices for piano technicians and even hosts a weekly workshop opportunity for are techs and piano enthusiasts who are restoring a special premium grand piano. He brings people together and loves his work!"

"I recently purchased a fully restored 1970 Baldwin Model L from Cal Champine and his team, and it has been nothing short of transformative. Baldwins from this era were considered equal to Steinways, but with a deeper, more resonant sound -- and this particular piano carries the legacy of a famous boogie-woogie artist. Cal honored that legacy with extraordinary craftsmanship.
The restoration was meticulous. Everything except the case was rebuilt using modern materials that offer improved durability without compromising the instrument's original character. The result is stunning: the piano sings with warmth, clarity, and depth.
Cal didn't stop at just the rebuild. He voiced and tuned the piano specifically for the room it now lives in, ensuring it feels not just placed, but truly situated. He also moved the piano himself, included the initial tuning and voicing once it had settled, and guaranteed all parts for a full year.
I wholeheartedly recommend Cal Champine and his team for anyone seeking restoration or tuning services. Their work is not just technical -- it's soulful."

"Cal has been tuning our grand piano for over 20 years and we have been exceptionally happy with his services. Since our piano us used for both family enjoyment and for the teaching of many piano students, our instrument needs to continually be in great shape. Having Cal as our piano technician has definitely allowed our piano to maintain consistency in tuning, action, voicing, pedal control, and all other aspects of quality piano care. Over the years, Cal's sincere attention to all the technical details of our piano have been superlative, and we definitely can testify to the fact that he is a reliable, experienced skilled piano technician, who is also very pleasant to work with! Never have we had an issue with our piano that Cal couldn't resolve quickly and with much confidence. we definitely would recommend Cal's piano tuning services to anyone."
