Steven Jett

owns and operates Jett Piano Services.

Steven Jett, piano technician and owner of Jett Piano Services, inspecting a piano in Parkland, Wa.

With nearly two decades of experience maintaining keyboard instruments, training in metalworking and woodworking, and a background in keyboard instrument manufacturing having worked at three of the country’s finest pipe organ-building workshops, Steven’s experience and diverse skill set gives him a unique advantage in the trade.

Tuning

Most manufacturers and technicians recommend tuning be done twice per year.

Voicing

Tuning corrects the pitch of a piano, voicing changes its tone quality or timbre.

Regulation

Voicing improves a piano’s sound, regulation makes a piano’s touch feel great.

Key Top Replacement

We machine keys to accommodate the thickness of the new key tops, square them up and hand-trim each key top, ensuring a seamless fit.

Maintenance & Repair

Wear and tear is a normal part of a piano’s life and we are here to clean it up and repair and maintain it.

Humidity Control

Certified Piano Life Saver/Dampp-Chaser Installer

Proper humidity control is essential for a piano, as fluctuations in humidity causes wood to swell or shrink, leading to tuning and regulation instability.

What People Are Saying

  • “A consummate professional, Steven approached my two very different pianos with care, deep knowledge, and real artistry. From the moment he began his work, (being promptly on time for our appointment), his strong passion for his craft was on full display. Steven is a very skilled, honest, humble, knowledgeable and extremely capable technician who I cannot recommend high enough to anyone out there searching for someone of quality to work on their piano.”

    — Jeremy B.

  • “Steven has maintained Cedar Community Church's decades old Yamaha baby grand for the last few years. Recently, he did a full voicing, action regulation, and tuning for us. The piano sounds gorgeous and the responsiveness of the action is amazing. Steven is a true craftsman, is passionate about his work, and we are very glad we found him.”

    — Michael L.

  • “Steven just tuned our 14 year old Sohmer baby grand that was in storage for a few months. It was last tuned two years ago. This is the first time I could actually hear the difference. On a side note you get to enjoy Steven’s beautiful playing after he finished.”

    — John D.

  • “Gracious, professional, punctual, and educational. Steven took great care of our Yamaha C6, giving it a much needed cleaning and took the time to make sure he was happy with the tuning process. He showed us the action and carefully explained the reasons for why and how he cares for our instrument. I am so grateful to have found him, and I hope he’ll be tuning our piano for years to come.”

    — Camille G.

  • “Steven did an amazing job tuning my piano. Not only was he able to make an appointment that work best for my work schedule but he also showed up on time. He was very kind and respectful. He even went out of his way and fixed my piano bench. My piano is a 1968 piano that hadn’t been tuned since who knows when but he took the time and patience and it sounds amazing! I highly recommend him. If I could give him a 10 star rating I would.”

    — Harrison B.

  • “We had our piano tuned after probably 20 years. Steven had great communication, including reminders and notices, and what to expect. He arrived on time and transformed our very out of tune piano into a beautiful musical instrument. I would recommend his services. It was also very affordable.”

    — Tracy M.

  • “Steven Jett takes excellent care of our beloved piano. He works quickly and carefully, and his love of the instrument is clear. Beyond that, Steven brings a warm, delightful presence to our home as he works. We recommend him wholeheartedly.”

    — Crista R.

  • “Blown away by Steven's exceptional craftsmanship. He is an expert of an increasingly rare art form. He restored a multi-generational piano to good as new. At the end of a full day's work, he filled our home with *gorgeous* piano playing - it felt like a time machine!”

    — Ashley M.

  • “Steven was so wonderful! He was a delight to talk to on the phone while choosing which service to book. He came out to my house and was even more of a delight in person. Very professional and he did a great job. My piano needs more work than I was ready to put into it, but I, without hesitation, will use Jett Piano Services for all future piano related needs. I highly recommend!”

    —Bethany S.

  • “Absolutely wonderful experience! Steven tuned my piano and helped me adjust the voicing to better suit my preferences. It hasn’t sounded this good in quite some time! Fantastic communication, kind, and very professional. I will definitely be using Jett Piano Services again.”

    — Mike L.

  • “Steven met all my expectations as a piano technician, even exceeded them with how professional the whole process was. It was easy to request an appointment all the way through providing payment. He is transparent about the services he provides. He is very friendly and conveys a lot of knowledge about pianos, and made recommendations to me according to how my piano behaves and the frequency it is tuned.”

    — Tiffany W.

  • “Steven did an amazing, thorough job tuning my Upright Steinway. The piano also had 3 notes the resonated too long that Steven fixed. After the piano tuning was finished he spent time explaining the tuning process and also answered all of my questions about the piano. He finished the tuning by playing beautifully on the piano. Thanks for the excellent tune and I'll definitely using Jett Piano Services LLC the next time my piano needs to be tuned.”

    — Fritz K.

  • “I recently bought a used baby grand piano. When I got it home, the sound and feel was just ok. After Steven was done working on it, it sounds and feels like a concert grand. I am amazed by the difference. Because of his knowledge, he was able to bring out the best in this piano. I really appreciated how Steven asked the right questions to make sure he knew how I played and what I was after in the sound of the piano. I am so impressed by his work.”

    — Kerry N.

  • “Steven was an amazing technician! Very thorough, really cared about making the piano sound great.....very personable, and spent time playing the piano to be sure it was in great condition! He will be my go to now forever!”

    — Jerrie L.

  • “It is important to understand the difference between a piano tuner vs. a piano technician. Steven Jett is a piano technician with the training and experience to provide the full range of piano service. Steven provided pitch correction, tuning, and some voicing for our piano with the same care as we treat the instrument ourselves. I highly recommend. Thank you Steven!”

    — John S.

  • “Steven tuned my piano after moving it cross country and storing it in our garage for 5 years. It plays beautifully!!! He is so knowledgable about pianos and how to care for them. I learned more today than with all other piano tuners combined. We will definitely call Steven for future piano needs!!!”

    — Shelly W.

  • “Steven Jett was a great balance of being professional and warm. He was quick to respond to all communication and it was very easy to make an appointment. Our piano sounds so much better after his tuning service! He was recommended by a colleague and we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely use him again for our regular piano care! Thanks Steven! 😊”
