Glorious, stable tunings are our goal at every appointment, but we always go beyond to provide education, basic maintenance, and/or small pitch adjustments as needed.
At The CT Piano Co., we're passionate about full piano service. The touch-response and tone of your piano are a major part of the way that you experience it, and we always provide recommendations to help you enjoy your piano more.
We provide complete concert service including pre-rehearsal tuning and piano prep, post-rehearsal touch-up, and standby service. Concert instruments under our care also get annual full-day maintenance.
We've developed one of the most thorough, informative inspection processes available anywhere. Have confidence in the instrument you are buying!
Whether you want to restore the former glory of a vintage instrument or hot-rod your piano with a state-of-the-art action, we have the modeling tools and software to deliver predictable, high-end results.
We have the tools and experience to move your piano safely, within your home or across the country. Fill out our easy online form to get a quote.
If you’re in the market to buy a piano, please let us help. We offer free phone advice on piano purchases as a service to the public in our area. Are you looking for a piano teacher? We can help with that, too! We want you to love your piano and to be benefited by its presence in your life.
You probably understand that your piano needs regular tuning, but do you know that there are two other areas of routine piano service? “Regulation” and “Voicing”, as they are known, concern the optimization of your piano’s touch-response and tone, respectively. The condition of your piano’s regulation and voicing contributes profoundly to the way that you experience your piano. Schedule a full service tuning to experience the difference!
Thank you for choosing The Connecticut Piano Company. We offer complete piano services including tuning, repairs, regulating, voicing, inspections, appraisals, design services, rebuilding, digital player piano systems, moving, and more. We have opened our weekday afternoon and Saturday morning time slots for online scheduling. If you need a different time slot, please contact us:

"The piano sounds magnificent. So many people have commented on its tone. Many of those folks have never said one word about the music in church!"
"Ben Rocke, RPT, MPT did a very thorough evaluation of a 1904 Steinway I was interested in purchasing in Connecticut while I live three thousand miles away. This was not my first time buying a piano from a seller across the country, but it was the first time I felt I knew what I was getting into. He not only looked over every inch, he also took 62 high quality photos that allowed me to look at as I read his report. I had a very clear picture of the instrument and its capabilities after his evaluation. Buying things far away can be chancy, but with Bens evaluation I felt secure in what I contemplated buying. He was prompt, knowledgeable, courteous and conscientious beyond my expectations. I would absolutely hire him for this kind of evaluation and any issue with a piano in the future." -On Google
"Very satisfied with the service provided by Ben. He tuned my recently purchased second-hand piano and also worked on the action to improve my playing experience. He certainly knows his stuff. He does a great job diagnosing different problems and explaining the different courses of action to fix those problems, and I'm looking forward to future service from the CT piano co." -On Google
"The action on my Kawai Digital Piano Controller needed to be lightened, and since it has wooden keys, I needed to find someone who had experience working with acoustic pianos, but would also be open to working on digital equipment. Ben did a fantastic job going over the keyboard and finding out which option would work best for me at a very fair price.
This was not a job I could go to a normal keyboard/synth tech for, so I appreciate the time that Ben took working on the piano. I would definitely recommend his services!" -On Facebook
"I've been using The Connecticut Piano Company for years and have always been impressed with Ben's punctuality, professionalism and knowledge of pianos. He even took extra time to talk with my kids who were interested in what he was doing during our piano tuning. I highly recommend The Connecticut Piano Company!" -On Google
