Restoring the charm and tone of Utah’s most compact—and most misunderstood—pianos.
Spinet Pianos Deserve Respect
We recently tuned a spinet in a family home in Taylorsville. The mother told us, “I got it for free when my neighbor downsized—I figured it would be good enough for lessons.” But after we finished tuning, she and her daughter played a duet and just grinned. “It actually sounds really good,” she said, surprised.
Spinet pianos often get underestimated. They’re small, yes—but they can still be warm, musical, and full of life with the right tuning and care.
What Makes Spinet Pianos Unique?
Spinet pianos are the smallest vertical pianos, typically under 40” tall. They use a unique “drop action” mechanism to fit into their compact cabinets—which makes them more challenging to service than uprights or grands.
Our spinet piano tuning service includes:
-
Accurate pitch tuning to A440
-
Careful adjustments to the compact drop-action system
-
Minor voicing tweaks for tone consistency
-
Inspection for mechanical wear (common in older spinets)
-
Honest feedback about playability or limitations
Spinets may not have concert power, but they’re often beloved family instruments—and we treat them with the respect they deserve.
Who Should Tune Their Spinet?
This service is ideal for:
-
Families with starter or inherited spinets
-
Piano students learning at home
-
Retired instruments being brought back into use
-
Small space musicians who value tone and portability
-
Anyone unsure if their “free piano” is worth keeping
Spoiler: it probably is.

What Our Clients Say

How Often Should Spinets Be Tuned?
Spinet pianos need tuning just like any other acoustic instrument. We recommend:
-
Once a year for casual use
-
Twice a year for students or frequent players
-
Anytime after a move, renovation, or humidity shift
-
Before deciding to repair, restore, or replace
Even an old spinet can surprise you when it’s properly tuned.
