Greatness Begins With Technique

Ivory Techniques – Piano Tuning & Maintenance by a Pianist Who Understands Tone, Touch, & Beauty

At Ivory Techniques, piano care is more than a service—it’s a craft rooted in a deep love for music. Founded by a classically trained pianist turned certified piano technician, we bring a musician’s ear and a technician’s precision to every instrument we touch.

Based in South Texas, we understand the unique challenges our climate presents. High humidity can cause serious issues for pianos, from sticky keys and sluggish action to warped soundboards and compromised tuning stability. That’s why regular maintenance and expert tuning aren’t just optional—they’re essential to preserving your piano’s sound and feel.

Whether you play professionally, teach, or simply enjoy your piano at home, Ivory Techniques is here to keep your instrument in peak condition. We treat every piano with the same care and respect we’d give our own—because we know what it means to truly connect with your instrument.
