At Save Our Piano, we are dedicated to preserving and maintaining publicly accessible pianos so that everyone can experience the joy of music. We focus on keeping these pianos in great condition for community enjoyment, offering maintenance, repairs, and ensuring they stay tuned and ready for play. Our mission is to foster creativity, community, and cultural expression through the power of music.

We are seeking a skilled Piano Tuner to join our team of volunteers who will help ensure the pianos in public spaces remain in optimal condition.

Whether it’s for routine tuning or minor repairs, your work will have a direct impact on the enjoyment of music for people of all ages and backgrounds.

• Conduct regular maintenance to ensure the pianos are in good condition, adjusting for changes in weather and usage.

• Evaluate the pianos’ conditions, identifying when more extensive repairs or care are needed and notifying the team.

• Collaborate with other volunteers and community members to ensure smooth operations and best practices in piano care.

• Provide updates on the condition and maintenance schedule of pianos to the Save Our Piano team.

• Experience in piano tuning and basic piano maintenance is preferred.

• Strong attention to detail and a passion for keeping pianos in excellent condition.

• Ability to work independently and efficiently.

• Good communication skills to interact with team members and community stakeholders.

• Access to tools necessary for piano tuning (if not provided by the organization).

By volunteering as a Piano Tuner with Save Our Piano, you will directly contribute to making music accessible to the community. You will have the opportunity to enhance public spaces with your skills, help keep music alive in the community, and connect with others who share your passion for music and service. This is a flexible and rewarding opportunity to make a tangible impact in your community.
