Philip Smith opened up Stryke Tuning, LLC, in November, offering the Georgetown community piano tuning services. Smith is the director of music at First Presbyterian Church in Georgetown and holds a certificate from the Piano Technician Academy as a certified piano technician.

“I’ve been a musician pretty much all of my life,” Smith said. “Pianos have always been of interest to me and I’ve been paying attention as I’ve had pianos tuned in the past. I just thought it was really interesting. It’s not like tuning a guitar. It takes two to three hours to do it.”

Stryke Tuning has no physical location. 512-843-5883.
