Piano Tuning Service in Adrian, MI
At GoodTunes Music, we feel that piano tuning is more than just a service we provide — we feel that it’s a craft rooted in care, experience, and a deep appreciation for music. My name is Keith Derbyshire, and for over 30 years, I’ve proudly served as a piano technician in Adrian, MI, helping families, churches, schools, and musicians keep their pianos sounding their best. Now retired from my day job, I’m dedicating more time to this work I truly enjoy.
If your piano needs tuning or light repair work, you’ve come to the right place. I truly take pride in offering dependable, honest piano service with a small-town touch. So whether you play your piano every day or it’s been sitting quietly for years, I’m here to help bring it back to life.
Straightforward Pricing, with Honest Discounts
My standard rate for piano tuning is $150. That’s it — no confusing add-ons or unexpected charges. I’m committed to keeping my pricing fair and transparent. I also offer discounts for:
- Senior citizens (please ask when booking)
- Churches
- Multiple pianos at the same location on the same day
- Piano Teachers (business cards to give to students who may also need tuning)

If cost is a concern, ask me about Pro Bona Musica, a program I’ve created for those who may not be able to afford regular tuning. Everyone deserves a piano that sounds the way it should.
I believe in good value, and if your piano doesn’t need much attention, I won’t make work where it’s not needed. Sometimes a few small tweaks can make a big difference—and I’ll always be upfront about what’s necessary and what’s optional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I have my piano tuned?
A: Ideally, once or twice a year. Michigan’s changing weather can cause pianos to drift out of tune more quickly than in milder climates.
Q: Do you tune grand pianos?
A: Yes, I tune all types—grands, uprights, spinets, consoles. even players. Each has its quirks, and I’m familiar with them all.
Q: What if my piano hasn’t been tuned in years?
A: That’s okay. I’ll assess its condition, let you know what it needs, and do what’s best for your instrument. Sometimes pianos need a pitch raise first, then fine tuning.
Q: How long does a tuning take?
A: My standard tuning usually takes about 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on the condition of the piano.
Q: Can you fix broken keys or pedals?
A: Most of the time, yes. I can often do minor repairs on-site. If something needs replacement parts or extra time, I’ll explain everything and give you a fair estimate.
