My grandpa, who died before I was born, tuned pianos for a living. He had perfect pitch and loved music. It means a lot to get to see what my mom grew up seeing him do.
Piano techs are amazing and exceedingly talented people. So many little bits to understand and know how to adjust properly and then every player has difference preferences in feel and sound = which can all be adjusted. Those with perfect pitch have both an advantage and disadvantage, as a piano uses a stretched tuning in order to ‘sound right’. They can hear the proper pitch, but then have to adjust the ‘perfect’ tuning on each note have to the desired pitch, which is not going to be ‘spot on’ when checked on an electronic tuner. It has to be a bit annoying to those with perfect pitch. Those tuning for use with a professional orchestra also have to deal with the stringed instrument players preference to play at A442-444 ... instead of the ‘perfect’ A440. After seeing and hearing it many times, mom may not have cherished the process, but she knew it was something very special.
no one has actual perfect pitch...many are close...but no one is perfect all the time every good piano tuner uses a tuning fork at a minimum....they dont just "trust their ears" @@blainekelley816
One of my friends is a piano, tuner and repairman. He is the last of a dying breed. Most of this knowledge is not being passed down to the next generation. In less than 20 years, there won’t be but a handful of piano technicians left. I thought I understood quite a lot about pianos until I saw my friend start to take one apart and start spouting off knowledge from all the different brands and models starting from the late 1800s all the way through the 30s and 40s and modern pianos too. after hanging out with my friend, I am now only confident enough to dust the keys from time to time.🤣

That was very kind and generous of you. It’s surprising how many people have a piano but don’t play. Maybe with all the new tech and apps possibly your tuning might encourage those people to start learning .
The stories in these videos and ones like them are made up. Like the flooring install videos work completely unrelated stories. They are always self congratulatory and when scrutinized aren't believable. They drive engagement though. People fixing in to say how good they are, how bad the client is, and even people like me trying to let people know they're being taken advantage of. Look where that key is, how the he'll did it get "dropped" there?
Quality isn’t the time you put into something or the work product itself. Quality is the way you feel after a job well done. Good work always pays off. Well done, sir.
One day, word is going to get around about this young piano tuner/repair dude who really loves what he does. When that happens, he is going to have to hire a secretary to take all of his calls and book all of his appointments. Yeah, I was talking about you, Josiah!
I mean it is a prospect, but i don't think he would be that overloaded with calls as maybe at most 5% of homes/businesses would have a piano that would be regularly used as some may have one but never use it in that 5% as well.
@@ThatGuy-mp9og28% of American households have a piano, and even if that 5% statistic is true, theres 365 million citizens in the us. 18,250,000 potential customers! He’d have to have a giant company to take care of all those orders!

wdym ? its a nice ass piano, but that doesnt necessarily mean anything about their income. couldve been inherited or gifted to them, found for cheap on a stroke of luck, or maybe they bought it when they were well off but are no longer in that position
ive literally moved pianos for friends because they were free. Pro tip, dont buy a pickup truck if you dont wanna be the pickup truck friend. I moved an 1898 upright piano over 100 miles because a friend wanted me to, and she got it for free. She cooked me a lot of food while I was in college so it seemed fair.
They live in a mansion with a grand piano and called someone out because they couldn't be bothered to do it themselves. The whole thing seems a bit fake, but often wealthy people are cheapskate aholes. They are the worst type of person.
Cleaning without charging will make them consider calling you again. On my 18th birthday I was short a little money for a tattoo, the artist saved me $200 and didn’t ask for a tip, he’s the only guy I go to because of that.
hey, i started my piano manufacturing aprenticeship last month and even if i am doing what your doing at work its always a pleasure to watch your shorts. Continue the content dude love it
I doubt that the cost for filling and the time off to go to court would be worth the price of a cleaning! Besides, good customer service means repeat business!
Look at the piano, look at the floor, look at the walls, look at the window, look at the view out the window and tell me these people can’t part with $100. This dude makes an honest living working on pianos as a passion. If somebody tried to swindle me like that, I would walk out the door and let them deal with a broken down piano. That’s all they deserve.
My grandfather used to tune pianos in his old age, 80's&90's. He used to wonder who was going to take up tuning of pianos as no one seemed interested. It's nice to see that young people have taken up the slake..
I was gifted a very expensive and collectable piano that was probably worth 15k when I got it, I definitely couldn't afford the cleaning on it but again it was a gift
Second hand pianos often go for peanuts as they're unwieldy things. People often just want them out of the way and really don't care about the money they get for it. We had an untuned Steinway from somewhere around the early 20th century that we gave to a neighbour because it just wasn't worth the effort getting it fixed and finding a buyer with the money.
Using ProTek in this case is sort of like applying a Band Aid to a broken arm. As a technician, I've been here several times before, and noticed (and observed from other techs) that it tends to dry up in just a few days (or hours), whereas the center pin will still be too tight to move freely, and will need to be replaced eventually. Jack center pins that are too tight usually cause repetition springs in grand pianos to wear out, and should be repinned for the best results. Just a word to the wise.
I just saw a short of a guy repairing an Xbox and not being able to fix it or understand what's the problem. so it's really satisfying that you were able to repair the piano and have it nice and clean ty.
Important: I shouldn’t have called the lubricant “oil”. It was actually ‘ProTek CLP’ (a special piano lubricant).
Don’t ever use regular oil (like WD-40) on a piano because it can ruin the wood.

What a kind man, loves his work, generous human. ❤
Owns that beautiful grand piano...yet can't afford to get it cleaned...
I don't know anything about pianos but that thing is gorgeous and I love how it comes apart
"i can't afford" really translates to "uhh I don't really feel like paying you" for this very specific scenario
The stories in these videos and ones like them are made up. Like the flooring install videos work completely unrelated stories.
They are always self congratulatory and when scrutinized aren't believable. They drive engagement though. People fixing in to say how good they are, how bad the client is, and even people like me trying to let people know they're being taken advantage of.
Look where that key is, how the he'll did it get "dropped" there?
Thought I don't know this family, I would like to thank you on their behalf. I know how much someones kindness at the right time means.
God Bless You!
Beautiful piano and nice work taking care of it!
Quality isn’t the time you put into something or the work product itself. Quality is the way you feel after a job well done. Good work always pays off. Well done, sir.
One day, word is going to get around about this young piano tuner/repair dude who really loves what he does. When that happens, he is going to have to hire a secretary to take all of his calls and book all of his appointments.
Yeah, I was talking about you, Josiah!
I mean it is a prospect, but i don't think he would be that overloaded with calls as maybe at most 5% of homes/businesses would have a piano that would be regularly used as some may have one but never use it in that 5% as well.
@@ThatGuy-mp9og28% of American households have a piano, and even if that 5% statistic is true, theres 365 million citizens in the us. 18,250,000 potential customers! He’d have to have a giant company to take care of all those orders!
@@mikethedude571 and I am referring to a general area of about 100miles. As when first expanding you don't want to go straight to everywhere
@@mikethedude571America is so incredibly prosperous man
@@PianoDoctor just a question,
where are you located roughly? and do you work on upright pianos?
So they dropped a house key, and the piano legitimately had a dropped key. Nice
Probably highlights they don’t know much about music..
Looks like they also dropped a little cocaine 😂
We need more people like you in this world
Pianos really are amazingly intricate mechanical and musical marvels. Need to learn to play…
What a great guy to go the extra mile for his clients, definitely has great business ethics.
He wouldnt do it if it wasnt for youtube.
You really think "he didnt gave the extra cash so I told him naw" would go over as well as "I was such a swell guy and did it for free!"
The ad revenue is the difference, turn on your brain I beg.
@@ridleyroid9060I'm absolutely sure that the commenter knows this. I just think that they are an optimist because the youtuber not only cleaned the piano. But he also had fixed a key to make it work better. Which is a lot more than needed.
@@leyte4639 Think about it this way: If they ever need something done with or to their piano, they will have *the* person to get to. It's not optimistic, it's a smart business decision. "Ah, this time, I'll do it for free, and look, I even oiled your key here (and will use that for advertisement purposes too)".
Customer Satisfaction 120%; they will return and will spend more money in the future.
@@ridleyroid9060Most of the work was already done so why not quickly clean it too? People with businesses do this all the time. Not just because they're kind but because it leaves a good impression which is especially important in these niche service jobs
He's doing it for clout
What a kind gesture. 😊
My late husband tuned pianos. Thanks for the memories.
Its pretty cool to see the inside of a piano like that!
How does someone have a piano that is that beautiful, and they don't have $100 to pay for a cleaning?
wdym ? its a nice ass piano, but that doesnt necessarily mean anything about their income. couldve been inherited or gifted to them, found for cheap on a stroke of luck, or maybe they bought it when they were well off but are no longer in that position
They received the piano as an inheritance, but they've had a change of circumstances, retirement, death of spouse, loss of job... You name it.
ive literally moved pianos for friends because they were free. Pro tip, dont buy a pickup truck if you dont wanna be the pickup truck friend. I moved an 1898 upright piano over 100 miles because a friend wanted me to, and she got it for free. She cooked me a lot of food while I was in college so it seemed fair.
They live in a mansion with a grand piano and called someone out because they couldn't be bothered to do it themselves.
The whole thing seems a bit fake, but often wealthy people are cheapskate aholes. They are the worst type of person.
@@1person69races8you don’t get doubloons from shorts
You’re so kind! This sort of service is definitely
Going to keep customers coming back.
It’s always good to take care of your patrons!
Ain’t no way they have that beauty of a piano and can’t afford the 100$
@@m4ndo224could be they just dont care about cleanliness of something they cant see (the inside of a piano)
That was wonderful for you to gift them that!!
Impressed with how the piano comes apart. Beautifully designed and built.
Cleaning without charging will make them consider calling you again. On my 18th birthday I was short a little money for a tattoo, the artist saved me $200 and didn’t ask for a tip, he’s the only guy I go to because of that.
Free work does not help baby get milk, but might help put them through college if you do get the repeat and good word of mouth.
So young to be screwing up your body
Almost nothing beats great customer service
Clean piano for free. Make.a youtube shorts, get a thousand bucks. That's how u do business
@@1person69races8 I think you perceive content creators making more money than they actually do, especially for unsponsored shorts
hey, i started my piano manufacturing aprenticeship last month and even if i am doing what your doing at work its always a pleasure to watch your shorts.
Continue the content dude love it
you can do this
Thank you souch for helping me out, this piano means a lot to me.
Kudos to you Piano Doctor!!!
It is so nice to see an actual craftsman at work.
That piano looks amazing! 🤩
It's an old Baldwin. One do the affordable brands 😊
a kind soul giving his time to the impoverished grand piano owners of this world
Good job, Sir! The Lord will bless you for blessing this customer. 🙏🏻
What a gentleman! Cleaning it for free was very kind, not a lot of people with your work ethic. This is the behavior I teach my son.
"Do free labor and get nothing?" Wow, you are a selfless dad...
/S
Such a nice guy... I wish every person of profession was this generous and polite, on top of being an actual professional.
I had a piano for 50 yrs and never knew it came apart like that or needed cleaning inside. TY! Wish I still had it.
Thats a gorgeous red piano
That is so sweet of you to do that for them! I have never seen the inside of a piano before. That's pretty cool. ❤️
You are very kind. God bless you.
What a nice guy man, only a dropped key turned into a free deep clean, we need more people like you in life man
This is super impressive on acoustic imo
A win-win! They got quality service and you got a video! 🎹
but does he tell the truth? could be he sued them afterwards to get the money for the cleaning
I doubt that the cost for filling and the time off to go to court would be worth the price of a cleaning!
Besides, good customer service means repeat business!
You’re a very kind person to do this for the customer. We all can learn from your generosity. Best to you. 🎼🎶🎵❤
I never knew a piano could come apart like this!
that piano is gorgeous omg
Can’t afford $100 with a grand piano in the living room?!? You getting played man
They're also getting played if they're being charged $100 to vacuum suck a piano. It's a duel between predators.
I think he's lying. They either paid extra for the service or it's included as part of the tuning.
They might have inherited it from their great aunt Beatrice so her only grand nephews can learn.
Look at the piano, look at the floor, look at the walls, look at the window, look at the view out the window and tell me these people can’t part with $100. This dude makes an honest living working on pianos as a passion.
If somebody tried to swindle me like that, I would walk out the door and let them deal with a broken down piano.
That’s all they deserve.
@@andysails3178keep spam posting this, I already called out your broken logic before
These videos are always so satisfying.
I've never seen a piano taken apart like this before. Cool.
🥰How Good It Is To Have A Pianist Family🥰
Dude is a legend for fixing all of that, grabbing the key, and cleaning it
"I can't afford the hundred dollars right now"?
Are you taking the piss? You've got fifteen grands worth of piano.
ah yew teiking va piss!? ☕️🇬🇧💂♂️
yeah these people have ZERO money issues....silly af to reward them a give it for free
My brother in christ, that's why they can't afford it, they spent it on the piano already :P
@@josh___something
Why do you assume he's your brother in Christ?
@@lovingmayberry307 you know what, u rite. *My Sibling in Christ
You went the extra step. Great service
Dope dude. Instrument techs are heroes.
I think he needs an award
It truly is an art.
My grandfather used to tune pianos in his old age, 80's&90's. He used to wonder who was going to take up tuning of pianos as no one seemed interested. It's nice to see that young people have taken up the slake..
That is a _beautiful_ piano.
I want to see one now in a dark clovery green (for clearly no obvious reasons)
They can own a $30,000 piano but they can't afford $100 clean okay priorities I guess
They might not have paid anywhere near that much for it -- might have got it used at an auction or something.
@Lucius_Chiaraviglio or it was left to them by a relative passing.
Yeah it could have just been a family item or a hand me down
I was gifted a very expensive and collectable piano that was probably worth 15k when I got it, I definitely couldn't afford the cleaning on it but again it was a gift
Second hand pianos often go for peanuts as they're unwieldy things. People often just want them out of the way and really don't care about the money they get for it. We had an untuned Steinway from somewhere around the early 20th century that we gave to a neighbour because it just wasn't worth the effort getting it fixed and finding a buyer with the money.
Using ProTek in this case is sort of like applying a Band Aid to a broken arm. As a technician, I've been here several times before, and noticed (and observed from other techs) that it tends to dry up in just a few days (or hours), whereas the center pin will still be too tight to move freely, and will need to be replaced eventually. Jack center pins that are too tight usually cause repetition springs in grand pianos to wear out, and should be repinned for the best results. Just a word to the wise.
That's OK, they'll call this same tech back to fix it. Bet the price will be $100 over the normal
A man who loves his job for sure
I just saw a short of a guy repairing an Xbox and not being able to fix it or understand what's the problem. so it's really satisfying that you were able to repair the piano and have it nice and clean ty.
