Jim Sexton Piano Tuning
Welcome to my web page! I've been tuning pianos in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area since 1999. Starting out, I took a correspondence course from The Randy Potter School of Piano Technology and also received some hands-on training from some local tuners- most notably Phil Bach. What I've found over the years is that experience is the real key to becoming a skillful tuner. I've tuned more than 10,000 pianos and I hope yours will be next!
Hours
Available for day, evening, and weekend appointments for your convenience.
Rates
My rates for tuning, regulation, and minor repairs are reasonable and affordable and I accept cash, checks, Venmo and most major credit cards. Charge for a standard tuning is $105 to $135, depending on your location (I'm based in south Minneapolis). There may be an extra labor charge for pianos that are badly out of tune. Pitch raising is usually $60 more. I will give discounts for multiple pianos and for other special circumstances.
Notable Customers
The Bloomington Public Schools, Twin Town Guitars, Flowers Studio, First Avenue, the Palace Theatre, Benilde-St. Margaret's, and Blue Tree Music Education. I also tune for several churches, retirement homes, libraries, businesses, and (of course) many residences!Hope to hear from you soon!
