About
Belle started playing piano when she was 4 years old, learning to play classical music, and her fascination of the instrument began then. During her education at Berklee College of Music she was trained to tune and service grand and upright pianos. She spent her latter 2 years at the school tuning 10-15 pianos a week in the practice rooms used by students to prepare for performances, exams, and recording sessions. Between semesters Belle sought out tuning opportunities in her home town, gaining experience tuning in a wide variety of environments. Now based in LA Belle continues to tune pianos and explore the variety of sounds they can make when given the proper care.
"Belle has tuned our piano for several years now. Her service and quality are exemplary, and our piano sounds awesome once she is done. Really good value, too. So glad we got to know Belle!!"

"Belle has done a great job tuning our Steinway piano for several years! Belle is very respectful of your home and careful with your piano. Her experience comes through. Being a musician herself, she has a perfect ear and knows everything about pianos. Great value! Highly recommended! She also loves animals so that is helpful if you have pets."
