Here's What I Do....

• TUNE PIANOS first with a tuning fork, matching 5ths and stretching the instrument's temperament to its designer's recipe and specifications, then I verify my work with the famous electronic Peterson Strobe Tuner, Model 450. Ninety-five Dollars

• VOICE, ADJUST AND REPAIR instruments that remain worthy of that service.  Those that aren't I will graciously decline. Then I'll help you find a good piano to replace it, whether it's new or previously owned. Service Book Rates

• CHURCHES & PRIVATE SCHOOLS   On call or regularly scheduled tuning and maintenance.

• HOTELS:  I do not tune or service hotel pianos on a one time basis; only by regularly contracted schedule.

• PIANO CONSULTANT, assisting clients select and negotiate the purchase of the perfect instrument for their living room, taking into account the space, acoustics and environment in which the piano will be played.  Note:  Prices for pianos are traditionally very negotiable.  With my knowledge, I will help you get the best price. Call for quote.

• BOOKING of harpists, chamber music groups, jazz trios and orchestras,  There is no cost to the customer for this service.  It's the perfect way to make certain you have a wonderfully competent performance for your guests. Call for details.

From Famed Lite Jazz Performer Kathryn Talbert (2007) --

Bill's referring to himself as piano tuner is tantamount to Einstein suggesting that he "fiddled around a little with numbers."

Bill, a published author, radio and tv personality, businessman and musician, was Kathryn's mentor at the beginning, helping secure her first professional gig in 1966 at the Lookout Room in Galveston's exotic Flagship Hotel on the Pier.

Bill is a man of many talents, with a vitae in music (among other things) that found him playing some of the most famous 5-star dining rooms thoughout the USA.

He now lives in Dallas, and performs his piano wizardry only on a part-time basis, but his influence is still very much felt nationwide.

And the pianos he tunes are very, very happy. Famed Lite Jazz Singer Kathryn Taubert
