Black & White Piano Tuning Professional piano tuning with a musician’s ear. 🎹
Mac Potts is a piano technician and accomplished pianist who tunes entirely by ear.

Proudly serving Vancouver, SW Washington & the Portland metro area. After graduating from the Emil Fries School of Piano Technology in 2012, Mac Potts founded Black & White Piano Tuning. Born blind and with perfect pitch, Mac began playing the piano professionally at a young age and tuning his family's piano at an even younger age. 5-years later, Mac has serviced hundreds of pianos for professional stages, fine establishments, music teachers, families, and churches across the Northwest and beyond. Mac offers Student and Non-Profit Organization Discounts and additional services on top of his standard quality tuning. For extensive work, repairs, or detailing, Mac can contract out work to his professional business partners (for local jobs only) with no additional fees. Mac will also work as your consultant if you are in the market for a used piano. In addition to maintaining a vast inventory of refurbished pianos, Mac will also "ride-along" with you to inspect pianos you are interested in before you make your purchase (or before you find a "free" piano and pay for the delivery of an instrument needing hundreds of dollars in repairs!!). Call, email, or message Mac today to schedule your tuning today. If you aren't sure what kind of work your piano needs, get in touch with him and he'll asses a pre-work evaluation to suit your needs.

Here's the before and after you've been asking for! One of my favorite transformations. 🎹

10/21/2026

Some pianos are a little out of tune and some try to explore new quarter tones. 💀

Figured The Office theme was an appropriate soundtrack for the situation. Nothing feels better than a dramatic before and after.

One of my favorite parts of being both a pianist and a piano tuner is getting to demonstrate exactly what a tuning can do. And before anyone asks, yes, I'm blind. I tune entirely by ear the old fashioned way.

Now I'm curious... when was the last time your piano was tuned? And “I have no idea” is a perfectly acceptable answer. I'll be glad you called. 😉

First of all, yes I'm blind. And yes, I tune pianos entirely by ear. The old fashioned way.

Second, I promise I wear a shirt to appointments.

The privilege of working on my own piano in my own garage includes an extremely relaxed dress code.

But while we're talking about pianos in garages, there's something you should actually know before booking a tuning.
I've had several people ask me to tune their piano while it's still in the garage, before moving it into the house.

Moving a piano can affect its tuning, and changes in temperature and humidity can affect it even more. Tuning it in the garage only to move it inside afterward means paying more to have it tuned all over again later.

Save yourself the money and get your piano into its permanent spot before scheduling your tuning! Then, give me a call and we'll get your piano in perfect tune given the acoustics and temperament of its environment.

If you're new here, I'm Mac. I'm a pianist, vocalist, and professional craftsman piano tuner serving Vancouver, Portland, and Southwest Washington.

Follow along for piano tuning tips, music, and the occasional questionable wardrobe decision.
And if your piano needs tuning (and is already in the house 😉), you can book me at blackandwhitepianotuning.com or send me a DM.

This beautiful grand piano made me work for the sound you now hear!

A full pitch raise, fine-tuning, a little extra attention to six bass notes, and a quick sustain pedal adjustment.

But the real challenge was that this piano had so much sustain, I had to listen roughly twice as long as usual to make sure the strings were perfectly in tune with each other.

When you're tuning entirely by ear, you aren't just listening to the notes. You're listening to how the strings interact, catching the slightest differences, and making adjustments until everything settles.

It's meticulous work but there's nothing quite like hearing a piano in perfect tune with itself.

I'm Mac, and I tune pianos by ear throughout Southwest Washington and the Portland area.

Few things better than tuning and playing a beautiful Steinway & Sons in a gorgeous room. 🎹

10/08/2026

A piano is more than 88 keys and perfectly measured frequencies. It's an instrument meant to make music.

I approach every tuning as both a craftsman and a professional pianist, tuning by ear with an understanding of how an instrument should sound and feel. Only referencing a tuning fork... the old fashioned way.

And yes, this beautiful Steinway & Sons was tuned by me and I got to play it for a beautiful wedding too.
