Hi, I'm Bill. For 23 years I've been driving across the Northwoods to tune and repair pianos in homes, churches, and schools, up to 150 miles out, because every piano deserves to sing again.

23 Years of Dedicated Independent Service

A Lifelong Passion for Piano Craftsmanship

I don't tune pianos for the money. I do it for the moment a family sits down at an old piano and it sounds the way it should again. My goal is simple: no piano in Wisconsin left sitting out of tune.

Rooted in Tradition

Independent Craft & Family Heritage

My name is Bill Nienaber. I learned piano tuning working alongside my dad in his business, Bob's Piano Tuning. In 2003 I took it over, moved to the Northwoods, and later renamed it Bill's Piano Services. I've also spent 50 years as an automotive technician, so I love a good puzzle: finding what's wrong inside a piano and bringing it back to life. Today I care for pianos in homes, churches, schools, and retirement homes with the same care my dad taught me.

What Our Clients Say

Reflections from clients whose pianos have been brought back to life.

Anita Laue (Sugar Camp, WI)

Bill came to tune an old old piano that had been special made in Belgium. We purchased it while living overseas.. It had traveled several times in shipping back n forth between Europe n the US.. We purchased our permanent final home in the Sugar Camp, WI area n we were ready to do a complete care to the piano.. The Belgian piano needed loads of care n Bill did everything n then some.. We had him put new base strings in n a damp conditioning system n tuning.. Took several days n return visits.. Bill is an exceptional business man but more so he is a great person.. Always polite n caring n respectful.. We would recommend him without question as a Piano Service man with integrity n knowledge..

Eileen Ryan

Bill was out this past week to tune and clean our grand piano and install a damp chaser to keep the piano humidity in check so the wood doesn’t crack. Bill was extremely responsive, very clean and honors his time commitments and quotes. I asked numerous questions about the inner workings of the piano and he was more than willing to share his knowledge! I would highly recommend Bill and will definitely have him back for the next tuning and cleaning!

Don't Let Your Piano Sit Untuned

Ready to Bring Your Piano Back to Life?

Whether it's been a few months or a few decades since your last tuning, I'd be glad to come out and take a look. Call or text me today.

Manufacturers recommend a tuning every 6 months, but in my experience once a year keeps most pianos healthy and protects your investment.

Bill did a fabulous job tuning my piano after twenty-six years since its last tuning. It sounds wonderful! He is extremely knowledgeable and super personable.
