Pittsburgh Piano Tuning * pghpianotunig@yahoo.com (412) 881-0883

Background

My name is Michael Mezhinsky. My experience with pianos began in 1974 at the piano factory, I started learning about piano tuning and stayed there for about four years. For the next fourteen years, I worked at homes, schools, and music studios while working for the Piano Restoration Shop. During this time, I had the pleasure of working with several world-class musicians. I moved to the United States with my family in 1992 and lived in South Bend, Indiana for one year. While there, I met an established piano tuner and began working for him, tuning pianos at Notre Dame University, various churches, and private homes. I moved to Pittsburgh a year later and began servicing pianos at several places, such as Trombino Music Stores, Judy's Music, and Spratt Music. At the same time, I slowly began building my own business. Since then, I have worked in schools, churches, stores, restaurants, and private homes.

Throughout my journey in the piano industry, I have worked with various pianos, performing various types of service. My most interesting experiences consisted of working with German pianos that had been manufactured before World War II. I gained a lot of invaluable experience by working with these pianos and different piano brands from around the world. In the United States, I have worked with American, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and European as well as other types of pianos. In brief, I have been able to work with grand, upright, and spinet pianos from all over the world.

Overall, I possess 49 years of experience in the piano industry. I hope that you will use this experience to help make your piano look and sound better than ever. Click here for information on scheduling an appointment.
