Reviving ANMS’ Pianos

Help us return our pianos to their full potential!

ANMS has 19 grand pianos in 13 piano teaching studios and our performance lobby space. While they are tuned regularly, many are in need of more extensive repairs that will restore them to their full potential and provide the best possible learning and performing experience for ANMS students for years to come. Our piano tuner, Greg Livingston, walks us through the piano tuning process and the action mechanisms to help understand how the work will bring our pianos to life!

Greg explains his tuning process on one of our Steinway B pianos.
