Minor repairs included with standard tuning

   If your piano needs tuning but you've also got a key, pedal or other type of repair that you need looked at, give us a call. Many times key problems are much less of a worry than you would think. For years we've included 20-25 minutes worth of action repairs, key adjustments or even bench repairs with the price of a standard tuning.
   The days between Christmas and New Years provides a great opportunity to sit down at the piano for a bit of practice or to entertain the family. Call now if you'd like me to stop by to get your piano up to par. And all the best to you during this wonderful holiday season! -- Steve Rensberry

Worried about mileage fees? Don't be!

If you are in need of a piano tuning or other work and are concerned about the associated mileage costs, don't be. For any and all customers--first-time or regular--who live within 60 miles of Edwardsville and are willing to work within my schedule, there simply will be no mileage fee. This includes the city of St. Louis, St. Louis County, and all surrounding counties, as well as counties throughout the St. Louis Metro East region from the counties of Bond and Clinton to Montgomery, Madison and St. Clair. Please see our section on service area for a complete list of counties in which Rensberry Piano Service has customers. Remember, winter time is a great time to brush up on your piano skills and enjoy some time out from the daily grind. Although the holidays are upon us, we still have select evening, daytime and weekend appointments available. Average fees remain under $60 per tuning, a competitive rate you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Don't wait any longer! You can reach me at 618-654-1585. -- Steve Rensberry

Thank you for a great month

We've had a great month after getting November off with a bang. Please accept my sincerest thanks -- especially all the regulars who gave us a ring and helped to make the month one of the best this year. I've also had a number of new customers that I appreciate tremendously.

If you're planning to have company for Christmas, please don't wait too late to call, as scheduling can become tight. Evenings and some weekend appointments are available. You can reach me at 618-654-1585. Remember, if you're trying to find a music teacher or make a decision about a piano purchase, I can help -- Steve Rensberry

Piano Tuning Promotion to Begin in November

    We're getting ready for our annual winter piano tuning promotion over the next couple of weeks. If you're looking to take advantage of some indoor relaxation and catch up on your piano playing when cooler weather strikes, give us a call.
   This summer and fall I have greatly enjoyed servicing a number of pianos for a large number of new customers. I look forward to many more as the holiday season approaches. If you live more than 30 miles from Edwardsville, don't forget to give yourself some advance time, a week or two is helpful. Either way, I'll do my best to work you into my schedule and accommodate your tuning needs.
   My standard tuning fee is still only $55 and includes a basic cleaning plus 20 minutes of minor action or key adjustments. You can reach me at 618-654-1585 virtually any time of the day. If I do not answer immediately, please leave a message and I will return your call a.s.a.p.  -- Steve Rensberry

Music for the heart and mind

The following song, "My Foolish Heart," reproduced here on YouTube, was originally published in 1949 and is nearly as fresh and captivating today as at was then. It was written by Victor Young with lyrics by Ned Washington. It's not complicated. The tempo is slow. But it provides the perfect example of just how subtle and profound the world of piano music is.
