Welcome to Johnston Piano Service.
Welcome to Johnston Piano ServiceMy brother manufactured pianos in the 1960s through the 1970s, which is how I became interested in piano tuning. I went and tuned at his companyCurrier Pianos factoryin my early teens. Currier Piano was Top 10 in the world in sales for several years. I majored in piano at East Carolina University. I auditioned for a European tour at the NC School of the Arts and studied piano with Clifton Mathews during the summer of 1976.In 1982, I earned a certificate in piano tuning at Central Piedmont Community College. I learned tuning from Clayton Harmon, who was inducted into thePiano Technicians Hall of Fame. I currently tune for churches, in the home, and for schools. Ive earned a reputation for giving accurate estimates that stay within family budgets (provided the client gives an accurate description of their piano.) I am expanding my business to include all new action parts on grand pianos and Im currently taking advanced classes in part replacements through thePiano Technicians Guild.I work on Studio, Console, Spinet, Upright and Grand pianos. I do on the spot repairs and tuning of pianos as well as reconditioning, regulating and cleaning. I replace parts when they are needed in complete sets for keytops, hammers, whippens and restringing. I replace and repair legs and have accountswith manufactures to replace parts that are broken.I am a Certified Dampp-Chaser Installer.
