Don Shabkie—Greenville, South Carolina

Don has successfully tuned pianos in the Greenville area for some of Greenville's best musicians. Included in this list are Trudy Fuller and Lisa Barksdale, who are both members of the Furman University Voice Faculty, and Anneka Zuehlke, who serves as principal horn in The Greenville Symphony. In addition, guitarist Steve Watson, (Fine Arts Center instructor and part owner of Watson Wood music) uses Don's services as well.

Don will tune the piano at your home, church, business, etc. The base price for providing this service in Greenville, South Carolina is $80. Any piano under pitch will usually require two tunings, each at the same price. Due to recent fuel price increases, there will also be an additional $10 charge for any trip outside a 10-mile radius of downtown Greenville. Please feel free to contact Don at any time.

Fall 2007-Spring 2008: This year, Don was the piano tuner for the Greenville County School District.

As one of the many piano tuners in Greenville, SC, Don became interested in tuning pianos after years of piano playing experience. Fascinated with the history of keyboard and fixed-string tuning, he began this trade learning to tune his Celtic harp, and eventually began to learn to address the larger issue of tuning the piano.
