At Christ Church Cathedral, our ministry of music is one of the busiest of any city church. Our boy and girl choirs rehearse several times weekly, and our performances are continual, and well attended. The efficiency and effectiveness of our rehearsals are critical to our work, and none of this is possible without rehearsal, studio, and performance pianos being kept in premium condition. For this, we entrust the work to Colin Mack, for superior service, sensitivity, and musicality.

– Matthew Larkin

As a performing pianist I find it most important to keep my Yamaha grand in top condition. Colin Mack is my tuner of choice and has been for 18 years. I recommend his expertise without hesitation.

Colin Mack has been tuning the Ottawa Choral Society’s rehearsal piano since 2012. We are always very happy with his work. He is reliable, responsive, and does an excellent job keeping our Yamaha upright – and, by extension, our whole choir-sounding great!

Bien avant de connaître Colin à titre d’accordeur, je l’ai connu comme pianiste, professeur de piano et compositeur. Quand j’ai appris qu’il avait ajouté à son bagage de musicien des connaissances techniques lui permettant d’accorder nos instruments, j’ai immédiatement compris que je pouvais lui faire confiance pour un travail bien fait. Cela ne s’est jamais démenti, ni pour mon piano, ni pour celui des gens à qui je l’ai référé. J’ajouterais que s’ajoutent à la compétence d’accordeur de Colin des qualités personnelles de discrétion, de courtoisie et de savoir-vivre qui sont très appréciées et qui contribuent au plaisir de faire affaire avec lui. Je le recommande donc sans hésiter!

As a piano teacher with many advanced students, I count on Colin Mack to keep my grand piano and two uprights in top condition. Whereas many other tuners leave an allotted time to tune a piano, Colin always goes the extra mile and works until the pianos are a delight to play. He is a true professional who knows his craft inside out. Besides giving a first-rate tuning, he keeps me informed of future needs for the pianos. He is punctual about appointment time, respectful of my home and always courteous. I recommend him to all my students, who have always been pleased with the service they received. It is rare to find such an accomplished pianist and composer with his tuning skills and I believe that is why he holds himself to an exceptional level of care for our pianos.

I have been delighted with Colin’s work on my piano. It is beautifully in tune. I highly recommended him for his work.

– Verna Jacobson

Colin teaches music and tunes piano. He has the advantage to understand pianos from both worlds. He guided us through the piano purchase process and helped us to find a perfect grand piano. We trust Colin to keep our piano in top shape. In terms of tuning, Colin is meticulous. He would spend hours to make sure tuning is done right. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for an experienced professional to take care of their piano.
Colin 不仅调琴,他还是音乐老师。因此他能从技术和音乐的双重角度理解和维护钢琴。因为他很懂行,他教我了解钢琴,并帮助我们购买了一架很好的三角钢琴。为了将钢琴保持在一个最好的状态,我们一直依赖Colin的建议和专业服务。说到调琴,他非常认真仔细。为了把琴调到最佳状态,他会不停的工作直到调准为止。如果你需要一个有经验又认真负责的专业人士为你的钢琴提供服务,Colin是最佳人选。

Mr. Mack came and tuned my upright Young Chang in September 2013 and did a wonderful job. He was efficient but thorough, offered a good rate, and left my piano sounding clear and pitch perfect. The action feels great, too. I would definitely recommend Mr. Mack and I intend to employ his services for my future tunings.

Colin Mack has been tuning the Yamaha grand and Lesage upright at Community Pentecostal Church where I direct the choir, and the Yamaha U1 at my home where I have a private piano studio, now for over five years. While providing excellent tuning of the pianos, and maintenance of the Dampp-Chaser humidification system of our sanctuary piano, he also provides recommendations of future maintenance required to keep the pianos in their best condition. He is experienced, professional, and someone you can count on to give excellent service and advice for your piano. I highly recommend the work of Colin Mack.
