I have used Laursen Piano to tune our baby grand and upright pianos for the past 8 years. Brian is…read morethe ultimate professional who always arrives within the planned one-hour window, covers his shoes with booties, wears a mask (at least the past few years), does his work quickly, and provides some great advice and insight into the care and maintenance of the pianos. Beyond tuning, I purchased a humidifier for the Kawai baby grand that has worked very well through many dry Minnesota winters.

From the owner: This is rather a long story, with many twists and turns. I'll try to summarize the best I can…read more After working with horses for 20+ years, I was ready to allow them to become my hobby rather than my career. To successfully make that switch I knew I needed to find an alternative that I could be equally passionate about. Fast forward through a few part-time jobs, a few years and a few semesters of college classes. I realized that I had been playing my piano more and more years. My music had provided a balance between work and school. At one point, while watching my piano technician make some adjustments to my upright, I realized this might be a career field I should explore. I certainly would never be a professional musician, but perhaps I could learn to fix and improve pianos. I could make that hobby and passion into a profession. That was the start....
