Time to Tune?
|
Welcome,
I'm Torger Baland RPT a full time piano technician that provides piano tuning, repair, care, grand and upright humidity control systems and rebuilding services throughout the Twin Cities Metro. Since 2005 I've tuned 10,000+ pianos from Steinway and Baldwin concert grands to Baldwin spinets. My work is heard in many homes, churches, music studios and schools and a few colleges, performance stages and recording studios. On average, clients have used my services not once but six or more times.
I am a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) an achievement showing I can maintain, repair or just put a fine accurate tuning on your piano. Becoming a RPT requires successful passing of a series of highly demanding written, technical and tuning exams through the Piano Technicians Guild. There are only 1935 RPTs in the North America and being one proves a continual commitment to excellence. The RPT certification is the only one of its kind in the field of piano service.
A few notable clients include the Minnesota Governor's Residence, Mall of America, Lumen Christi Catholic Community, St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Theatre de la Jeune Lune, Brighter Minds Music and Saint Paul Music Lessons and many more.
Piano services are available by appointment only. Online estimates and current availability are in our online scheduling system. We are experiencing high demand and not available tomorrow.
I personally service the pianos of all clients and look forward to caring for your piano.

Susan B, Boston upright
"Best piano technicians I've ever met. I completely trust them with my cherished piano!Piano tuning is both a science and an art. I've had many competent, "journeyman" tuners who understand the science and can do a perfectly adequate job, but very few who also have the artist's ear and touch to bring a piano into the best possible playing condition for that unique instrument. Torger is definitely an artist! In addition to superb tuning skills, his attention to detail and customer care are second to none. I highly recommend his services."
Sally A, Apple Valley, 1921 Steinway Grand Model O
"I wish I found Torger three tunings ago. Torger is very professional and he took great care to make sure that my antique piano was very well tuned and cared for. My piano sounds positively vibrant!"
Gerardo M, Minneapolis, Bush and Lane upright
“Thanks for a great experience. It was convenient to schedule with Torger and he arrived right on time. My piano sounds great now. You cannot believe how much I am enjoying my piano now.”
Matt W (Competitive Pianist) Inver Grove Heights, Kawai Grand RX-3
“First class treatment for my piano. I recently moved from Florida to St. Paul with my 6 foot Kawai. The piano needed not only a good tuning, but voicing. I have many years of experience with technicians, and would say Torger is right up there at the top. He listens carefully to the instrument and the room and responds accordingly. He is always on time and lets you know in advance exactly what he will be working on for the appointment. Very reasonable rates too. And did I mention he is a great tuner?!”
Jana W, Minneapolis, Gulbransen upright
"Torger has done a wonderful job tuning our old piano over the past few years. He is personable and does an excellent job with extreme attention to detail. He takes the time needed to make sure the job is done correctly and the piano sounds as if it were brand new. I wouldn't hire anyone else to tune our piano and highly recommend him."
Shana O. Saint Paul, Kawai Grand KG-5C
"I highly recommend Torger' services. He's very punctual to his appointments and takes the necessary time to do the job well. Great service for an excellent price."
