Chupp’s Piano Service was founded by master piano technician Dennis J. Chupp in 1975. Dennis first became fascinated by the workings of the piano as a young man, after observing a local piano tuner working his ‘magic’ on his church’s piano. Under the tutelage of the regional Steinway & Sons service representative, he began to hone his tuning and repair skills and soon began to branch out into more extensive restoration work. Dennis received training at the New York Steinway & Sons Factory and personal training from Fred Drasche, the legendary Steinway & Sons head service representative. All of this would lead him to create Chupp’s Piano Service, Inc. and begin his focus on the full rebuilding of vintage pianos.
The family owned and operated business soon outgrew the small workshop behind his home. In 2000 Chupp’s Piano Service packed up and moved down the road into a state of the art, climate controlled rebuilding facility just south of the City of Goshen in the Town of New Paris, Indiana. Since that time, the business has prospered and weathered the storms of shifting tastes, economic uncertainties, and a changing music industry to join the ranks of the preeminent piano rebuilding shops in the United States. In late 2019, we completed the addition of a spacious showroom – conveniently located right next to our rebuilding facility.
Our full line of premium, world-class services are capable of satisfying the most discriminating artist and can be tailored to your unique tone and playing preferences. We invite you to carefully consider Chupp’s Piano Service for all of your piano service and restoration needs. A list of references and testimonials may be provided upon request.

With thousands of moving parts in each grand piano action, we have the skills needed to ensure concert level touch and tone, perfectly crafted to your personal tastes.
