Expert Piano Care
in Chicago,
Delivered Personally.
Chicago service performed personally by Eathan Janney — founder, professional piano technician since 2000.
Established 2009 · New York & Chicago · Private homes, musicians & institutions
Built on the standards of New York's trusted piano care authority.
Floating Piano Factory was founded by Eathan Janney, a professional piano technician whose practice spans more than two decades of tuning, regulation, and long-term instrument stewardship. The company has been established since 2009, building deep trust with private clients, serious musicians, and institutional partners throughout New York.
Chicago is the natural next step — not a franchise, not a listing on a tuner directory. Every Chicago appointment is performed personally by Eathan, ensuring the same unhurried attention, precise ear, and long-term perspective that defines the practice.
We work with clients who care about their instruments — owners of Steinways, Yamahas, and Kawais in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, Hyde Park, River North, and the West Loop who want a trusted partner, not a recurring transaction.
"We do not simply tune the piano and leave. We help you understand how to care for the instrument over time."

Expert Care
Your piano is handled by a highly experienced piano technician with more than 25 years of tuning experience — not assigned to whoever is closest on a map.
Premium Standards
Every visit is built around precision, trust, musicality, and long-term instrument care. The same institutional standards that define our New York practice, now in Chicago.
Stewardship
We help you understand how to care for your instrument over time — humidity, regulation, maintenance cycles, and when repairs are genuinely warranted.
Clear Guidance
Every appointment ends with practical recommendations — not vague advice. Tuning frequency, humidity management, what to watch for, what can wait.
Long-Term Relationships
Our goal is not a one-time transaction. It is to help your piano remain stable, musical, and enjoyable for years — and to be the person you call when anything changes.
How it works
Choose your level of care
Select Essential, Signature, or Premier Care based on your piano and how much depth you want from the visit. Not sure? Request a recommendation when you book.
