About Us

Service with Care

Evan Micheels is a North Bennett Street School-trained piano tuner and technician, as well as a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) with the Piano Technician's Guild.  


As an avid pianist and piano enthusiast, Evan understands that, whether a musical tool, a family heirloom, or a best friend, a piano can be a hugely meaningful part of one's life. With this mindset, Evan treats every instrument with the utmost care and respect, and strives to bring each piano to its highest potential.


Evan has worked for the Aspen Music Festival and School in Aspen, CO, and the Tanglewood Music Festival in Western Massachusetts.


E&B is family owned and operated, run by Evan, his partner Brittany, and Lucy, their daughter.

Guild-Registered

Registered Piano Technician status indicates that a technician has passed a series of three exams, designed to ensure a satisfactory level of competence and skill in the trade. These exams include a written portion to test knowledge of the piano, a technical portion to test competency in regulation and repair, and a tuning portion to test competence in aural piano tuning.

Our Offerings

Basic Fine Tuning

A Basic Tuning appointment is meant for a piano that is close to pitch and has been tuned regularly (at least once per year). Don't know how close your piano is? Don't worry! We will measure it and let you know if you should opt for a Pitch Adjustment.

Pitch Adjustment and Fine Tuning

This appointment is appropriate for pianos which are far off pitch (4+ cents), requiring more than one tuning pass. This is commonly the result of being tuned too infrequently or existing in climatically unstable environments.

Regulation

Each of your piano's 88 keys, when depressed, sets in motion a complex chain of mechanical events which results in the hammer's striking the string and sounding the notes. Regulation is the proper adjustment and timing of these parts, necessary for good tonal control, articulation, and dynamic range. 

Voicing

Your piano may sound "dull," "harsh," "tinny," or any other of a host of tonal descriptors. Voicing the hammers involves softening or hardening the felts to produce a pleasing and even tone. 

Evaluation

We can provide you a thorough report of your piano's condition, along with recommended repairs and improvements.

Looking into purchasing a new or used instrument? Hire us to evaluate and assess  the condition of the piano you are looking into so you can make an informed decision before purchasing. 

Cleaning

This appointment includes a thorough cleaning of your piano's case, soundboard, keyboard, action, and action cavity. 

Repairs

Tuning is our best diagnostic tool. We will take note of any needed repairs as we tune your instrument. However, if you are aware of a specific issue with your piano, we are happy for you to schedule us to take a look.     

Action Rebuilds

Your piano's mechanical parts - the action - may be worn out from age and heavy use. We can revive your instrument by replacing the action parts, hammers, felts, cloth, and leather, which together affect the way your keyboard feels as you play it. This service includes a touchweight analysis, full regulation, and tuning.  

Humidity Control Systems

Does your home experience shifts in humidity? if you notice your tunings aren’t lasting as long as you’d expect, ask about installing a Piano Lifesaver localized humidity control system.
