For over two decades, Gary Gracey has been restoring the voice of Tempe's pianos — from grand instruments in historic homes to student uprights in university apartments. Every tuning is a commitment to precision, every service an act of care for the instrument you love.
About
Gary Gracey didn't choose piano tuning — it chose him. What began as a curiosity about how instruments work has grown into a lifelong vocation rooted in the Tempe community. Every piano that passes through his hands tells a story, and he treats each one with the same reverence.
Whether it's a family heirloom that hasn't been touched in thirty years, a concert grand preparing for a recital, or a classroom upright that needs reliable tuning for the semester — Gary brings the same exacting attention to detail, the same deep respect for craftsmanship, and the same genuine care for the music these instruments make possible.

Gary tuned our 1952 Steinway and it sounds like it did the day it left the factory. He explained everything he did and gave us tips on keeping it stable through the Arizona heat. Truly exceptional.
As a piano teacher, I rely on Gary to keep my studio instruments in top shape. He's punctual, thorough, and genuinely passionate about what he does. My students notice the difference immediately.
We inherited my grandmother's upright and had no idea where to start. Gary assessed it, restored it beautifully, and helped us understand the history behind the instrument. A true craftsman.
