A Piano Tuner Who Knows New Orleans Clubs

For over 50 years I have been the piano tuner of choice for some of New Orleans’ most beloved clubs and venues. I understand the unique demands of performance spaces — tight schedules, last minute calls, and the need for a tuner who shows up on time and gets the job done right.

Some of the iconic New Orleans venues I have tuned for include:

🎺 Preservation Hall
🎵 Tipitina’s
🎷 Snug Harbor Jazz Club
🍺 Jean Lafitte’s Blacksmith Bar
🎹 Davenport Lounge at the Ritz Carlton
🎭 Playhouse Jazz Club at the Royal Sonesta

The Demands of Club Piano Tuning

Tuning a piano for a club or performance venue is different from tuning a home piano. The instrument gets played hard — multiple sets a night, different performers with different styles, and the constant stress of a busy performance schedule.

New Orleans humidity adds another layer of challenge. Our climate is brutal on piano strings and soundboards. A piano that was perfectly in tune on Monday can drift significantly by Friday night. Clubs need a tuner they can call regularly and rely on completely.

I offer flexible scheduling to work around your performance calendar — early morning tunings before staff arrives, afternoon tunings between sets, whatever works best for your venue.

Famous Artists Who Have Played My Tunings

Over the years the pianos I have tuned in New Orleans clubs and venues have been played by some of the greatest musicians in the world — Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, Ellis Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., Jon Batiste, Jeremy Davenport and many more.

When a world class artist sits down at your piano you want it to be perfect. That is the standard I bring to every club and venue I serve.
