Over 12,000 Tunings worth of Experience

Joseph D. Gotta, RPT

I have been servicing pianos in the Charlotte, NC area since 1987.  To date I have performed over twelve thousand tunings.  I have never worked for a dealership so my experience is very diverse.  Dealership tuners' experience is largely limited to brands they sell. I also have avoided the propaganda and ethical quandaries involved in proprietary dealership politics.

Most technicians tune around five to ten pianos a week.  I tune 20 -30 pianos a week, gaining three times or more times the experience than the average technician in the same amount of time.

My 18+ years of experience may be the equivalent of 50 years experience for the average technician.

Some of the more famous people I have tuned for include:
Matchbox20 / Luciano Pavoratti / Frank Sinatra / James Taylor / Carol King / Warren Zevon / U-2 / Paula Cole / Joshua Redmann / John Ashcroft / One Voice / Jim Bakker / Patti LaBelle / Natalie Merchant / Nina Simone / Bill Conti / Moody Blues / Annie Lennox / Sting /Jim Brickman / Earth, Wind and Fire / Chris Botti / Harry Connick Jr. /
Tori Amos // Stevie Wonder
