SERVING ALTOONA, STATE COLLEGE, AND ALL OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

Piano Tuning and Repairs

Since 1971, Fred A. Fornwalt, RPT has worked with all types of pianos from grand pianos to uprights. He truly understands all of the intricate piano parts from the lid to the pedals and everything in between. He offers experienced piano tuning, repairs, and restoration services to clients in Altoona, State College, and all of Central Pennsylvania.

Piano Moving

On the outside, a piano looks sleek and sturdy, but it’s actually a delicate and complex musical instrument, made up of more than 10,000 precisely interconnected parts. Moving a piano requires expert handling to protect both the instrument and the movers. While Fred A. Fornwalt, RPT no longer provides piano moving services personally, he highly recommends Walk's Piano Moving for their professional and reliable service. They have the specialized equipment—such as stage trucks, covers, and custom tools—needed to move pianos safely and efficiently.

Piano Climate Control System Installation

Through the years, Fred A. Fornwalt, RPT has installed many Piano Life Saver Systems manufactured by Dampp-Chaser™, which controls the climate of your piano. As seasons change over the year, so does the relative humidity (+90% in the summer and below 30% in the winter). Every piano should be equipped with a Piano Life Saver System because of the stability and protection it provides. Find out more at www.pianolifesaver.com.
