About Me

Adam Morton

Hi, I’m Adam Morton, a piano tuner and musician based in Durham, Ontario. I’m passionate about making sure pianos sound their best and are enjoyable to play. Every piano I work on gets my full attention — I focus on making sure the tuning is precise and the keys feel responsive. I approach every piano with care, patience, and a genuine love of music, ensuring the piano can be played and cherished for years to come.

In addition to tuning, I teach piano to students of all ages. My lessons focus on building strong fundamentals, developing musicality, and fostering a love for playing. I aim to make learning engaging and rewarding, whether a student is just starting out, preparing for a recital, or exploring music for fun. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s needs and learning style, so they feel supported and encouraged every step of the way.

Music has always been an important part of my life, and I love sharing that enthusiasm with others. My goal is simple: to help you and your piano make music that feels enjoyable and inspiring. I bring dedication, care, and a patient approach to every piano I tune and every student I teach, so you can play with confidence, improve steadily, and truly enjoy the experience of music.

Whether you’re a student looking to grow as a pianist, or a piano owner wanting a reliable tuning, I’m here to help. I’m excited to continue developing my skills and to share that knowledge with every piano and student I work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most pianos should be tuned every 6–12 months, depending on humidity changes and how frequently it’s played. Regular tuning keeps your piano stable and sounding its best.

A pitch raise is like priming a black wall that you need to paint white. You won't get the results you need after just one coat of paint, and the same applies to tuning pianos. If a piano is severely out of tune, a pitch raise is required to get it close to standard pitch, and then a second fine tuning is required beceause the strings will continue to stretch after the pitch raise.

I offer pitch raises as part of the "Encore Tuning" service. If your piano hasn’t been tuned in several years, it may need a multiple tunings to ensure proper string tension and stability.

I tune and service pianos throughout Durham Region and surrounding Ontario communities. Feel free to contact me to confirm if I travel to your area.

A standard tuning usually takes about 1.5 hours. I will also inspect and do basic cleaning of your piano prior to tuning. If additional repairs or adjustments are needed, I’ll let you know before starting.

Please remove items from the piano lid and clear some space around the instrument. I’ll handle the rest — no need to move or open anything beforehand.
