Patrick Brennan
A rigorous, honest approach tailored to your piano's actual condition.
Your trusted technician
I am Patrick Brennan, a piano tuner based in the Greater Montreal area. I work with owners of upright and grand pianos for tuning, maintenance, mechanical adjustments, and certain repairs, in both residential and professional settings.
My work is based on a rigorous, honest approach tailored to each instrument, taking into account its actual condition, environment, and usage.
Stability and durability
Tuning a piano isn't just about making it sound "right" musically. Each intervention also aims to ensure tuning stability over time and to preserve the instrument against variations in humidity, temperature, and usage.
Experience in concert,
in the studio, and on screen
Alongside my work with individuals, I have also gained solid experience as a concert tuner, both in large concert halls and in recording studio and television production contexts.
These environments require a very high level of precision. Whether in the studio or on stage, the piano is recorded or amplified, leaving no room for approximation: the pitch, stability, and tonal balance must be flawless, sometimes over long periods and in demanding conditions.
This experience directly influences my daily practice.
It reinforces my attention to detail, tuning consistency, and the adaptation of each piano to its actual context of use, whether it's a concert, studio, or residential instrument.
Clear guidance,
without unnecessary pressure
Every piano is different, just like the expectations of its owners. My role isn't to propose systematic or unnecessary interventions, but to offer honest recommendations tailored to the situation, the piano's usage, and the budget.
When relevant, I take the time to explain the possible causes of an out-of-tune piano or the benefits of certain mechanical adjustments, ensuring that decisions are made in an informed and realistic manner.
A local service in Montreal and surrounding areas
I travel throughout the Greater Montreal area, including Laval, the North Shore, and the South Shore. This proximity allows me to offer consistent, coherent, and accessible service. Building a trusting relationship with clients is an integral part of my work.
