Our Services

I specialize in bringing your piano back to life. Whether your piano needs a routine tuning, a pitch raise to get it back to concert pitch, or a cleaning to freshen up its appearance, I provide careful, professional service to help your instrument sound and feel its best.

Tuning Tuning

Over time, every piano falls out of tune, even if it’s not being played. I’ll adjust each string to bring your piano back to perfect pitch, so it sounds clear, rich, and balanced.

If a piano hasn’t been tuned in a long time, it may have dropped far below standard pitch. A pitch raise will bring the entire piano back up to proper tension before fine-tuning.

Cleaning Cleaning

Dust, dirt, and even pests can find their way inside your piano. I offer careful interior and exterior cleaning to keep your instrument looking great and functioning at its best.

About Me

A smiling woman and a smiling military officer in uniform pose together on a ship's deck during a celebration or event, with a large naval ship and other people in the background.

Hi, I’m Zach Botheroyd. Before I became a piano technician, I served in the Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer and our ship’s Rescue Swimmer—jumping into rough seas, staying calm under pressure, and learning the importance of precision and focus. That same mindset guides everything I do today.

After my time in the service, I found my way back to a lifelong love: music. I’ve always been drawn to pianos. Not just their sound, but the craft behind them. Tuning is more than a job for me. It’s a way of bringing life back to an instrument.

Now I proudly serve Northeast Florida offering expert tuning and care for your piano. Whether you’re a professional musician or just love to play at home, I’ll treat your piano with the attention and respect it deserves.
