A Legacy of Musical Excellence

Our vintage piano workshop filled with antique tools and restored instruments

Where Passion Meets Precision

It all began in a small garage in Vail, Colorado, where James Janske first fell in love with the intricate mechanics of a neglected upright piano. What started as curiosity quickly transformed into a calling—a lifelong dedication to understanding, preserving, and restoring these magnificent instruments that carry the weight of so many personal histories.

Over the years, that garage has grown into a fully-equipped workshop, but our core philosophy remains unchanged: every piano deserves to sing at its absolute best, and every client deserves transparency, expertise, and genuine care. Whether we're tuning a grand piano for a concert hall or restoring a weathered family heirloom, we approach each instrument with the same reverence and attention to detail.

Founded on Curiosity

What began as a personal fascination has evolved into a respected craft passed down through continuous learning and hands-on experience.
