        General Info
        Welcome to Johnston Piano Service. My brother manufactured pianos in the 1960s through the 1970s, which is how I became interested in piano tuning. I went and tuned at his company, Currier Pianos Factory, in my early teens. Currier Piano was Top 10 in the world sales for several years. I majored in piano at East Carolina University. I auditioned for a European tour at the NC School of the Arts and studied piano with Clifton Mathews during the summer of 1976. That same year, I graduated from Campbell University with a BME Degree where I became certified K-12. In 1982, I earned a certificate in piano tuning at Central Piedmont Community College. I learned tuning from Clayton Harmon, who was inducted into the Piano Technicians Hall of Fame. I currently tune for churches, in the home, and for Country Clubs. I have earned a reputation for giving accurate estimates that stay within family budgets. I have expanded my business to include all new action parts on grand pianos and I am currently taking advanced classes in part replacements through the Piano Technicians Guild. I work on Studio, Console, Spinet, Upright and Grand pianos. I do on the spot repairs and tuning of pianos as well as reconditioning, regulating and cleaning. I replace parts when they are needed in complete sets for keytops, hammers, whippens and restringing. I replace and repair legs and have accounts with manufacturers to replace parts that are damaged. I am a Certified Dampp-Chaser Installer. Call me today!

        Christian Johnston has been tuning my 1913 Stieff upright piano ever since I inherited it over 15 years ago. He also has done extensive refurbishing of the piano over the years to get it in good working order. Mr. Johnston is extremely professional and does high quality work. I have been very pleased with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent piano tuner.

        Christian has been tuning my piano every 6 months for as long as I can remember. He's prompt, and goes to great pains to ensure that my piano is tuned to the highest level of excellence. I would give him my highest recommendation. He does an exceptional job!

        I am a semi-professional musician and have used Johnston Piano Service for over 10 years for tuning and maintenance work on my Kawai grand piano. Christian Johnston does excellent work and tunes a piano beautifully.
