About

My name is Eric Miller. I am a piano tuner, musician, educator, and lover of musical instruments living in the Driftless region of Wisconsin. I am on a mission to help people enjoy playing music as a part of their daily lives!
I want to help you make your piano sound and perform as beautifully as possible! A well tuned and regulated acoustic piano invites one to sit and play, exercising the mind, the body, and spirit as beautiful tone fills the home.
I recently moved to Viroqua, WI and began tuning pianos at the beginning of 2025 as an augmentation to a nearly 20 year career as a concert artist and music educator and am loving every minute of it! My primary mentor in tuning and piano work has been Bill Bremmer, RPT, of Madison.
My first experience with a piano was in childhood. I grew up making forts and pretend vehicles out of an old upright piano we had. Because it was a big ornate player piano with the guts removed, I was able to open doors and look inside at all the parts and let my imagination run wild. I did eventually learn where the notes were, too, and played it for many hours teaching myself music theory during high school.
Additionally, I have an active career teaching music to all ages and performing in many contexts. Find out more about my teaching and performing activities here. Because of my performing career, I have high ideals for what is possible with a fine musical instrument. Because of my teaching experience, I deeply value being of service to others in fulfilling their musical goals, from all backgrounds and with whatever instrument they have.
I am married to a wonderful pianist and educator, Sue Ellen Dubbert, who brought her beautiful Mason & Hamlin grand into our life. I remember the first time I played it, falling in love with its deep tone which I hadn't experienced on a piano before. I've enjoyed hearing, playing, and now tuning and regulating that piano ever since!
I love music of all eras. As a performer, I've specialized in historical music from the renaissance and baroque, but love classical music and jazz from every era. I care deeply about the endless variety of musical sound in the world and am always excited to encounter a new instrument. Over the years, I have also occasionally taken care of harpsichords for colleagues and friends. My first taste of tuning was in setting historical temperaments by ear on the harpsichord.
I tune pianos in equal temperament, but for the adventurous, we can discuss historical temperaments!
