As for tuning the piano, I recommend reaching out to local music schools or conservatories in the area. They often have students or faculty who would be eager to assist, sometimes even as a way to gain experience or volunteer. Additionally, you could post on community boards or social media groups focused on music in Berkshire—there’s bound to be someone out there with the skills and the love for music who would be thrilled to help.

In addition to finding a talented piano tuner, have you considered organizing open jam sessions or community events around the piano? This could be a fantastic way to not only showcase local talent but also foster a sense of community among travelers and residents. Engaging with local music schools or community centers could provide an excellent platform for collaboration. Plus, sharing these experiences online could create a beautiful narrative around the piano, ensuring it remains a beloved centerpiece for everyone.
