Piano Tuning in
McCormick, SC
Certified Piano Technician serving McCormick and McCormick County — including Savannah Lakes Village and the surrounding lake communities where humidity control is especially critical for piano longevity.
Greenwood to McCormick —
about thirty minutes.
Davis Moore is a Certified Piano Technician (CPT) and PTG member, based in Greenwood and serving McCormick County on a regular schedule. The lake country surrounding McCormick — including Savannah Lakes Village on Lake Thurmond — presents unique challenges for piano owners: waterfront humidity levels are among the highest in the region and require thoughtful humidity management.
Who We Serve in McCormick
Piano care in
lake country.
McCormick County's proximity to Lake Thurmond and Lake Greenwood creates a consistently humid environment that is harder on pianos than almost anywhere else in the Upstate. Residents here benefit most from proactive humidity management alongside regular tuning.
I · Savannah Lakes Village
Lakefront Retirement Community
Savannah Lakes Village is home to hundreds of households — many of them with pianos that traveled from other states and now live in a significantly more humid environment than they were built for. Davis serves the community regularly and specializes in humidity assessment and Dampp-Chaser installation for lake-area instruments.
II · Lake Thurmond Area
Waterfront Properties
Waterfront homes along Lake Thurmond experience some of the highest sustained humidity levels in the region. Pianos in these environments require more frequent tuning and benefit enormously from a properly installed humidity control system.
III · McCormick Historic District
Town & Church Instruments
McCormick's downtown and historic churches maintain instruments that reflect the town's quiet but genuine community life. Davis serves local congregations and private residents with straightforward scheduling and honest assessments.
IV · Private Residences
Home Instruments
For McCormick County residents with a piano at home — whether at a lakefront property or in town — Davis comes to you. Tuning, humidity consultation, regulation, and cleaning are all available on-site.
A Note on McCormick
High humidity demands
proactive care.
McCormick County's lake environment is beautiful — and hard on pianos. Sustained high humidity causes soundboards to swell, pin blocks to loosen, and action components to stick and drag. Instruments that moved here from drier climates are particularly vulnerable in the first few years.
The good news is that the damage is almost entirely preventable. A Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver system, installed inside the piano itself, maintains a stable internal humidity year-round regardless of what the lake air is doing outside. As a Certified Piano Life Saver Installer, Davis can assess your instrument, recommend the right system, and install it in a single visit.
Paired with a twice-yearly tuning schedule, it's the most cost-effective thing a McCormick County piano owner can do to protect their instrument long-term.

What a visit covers
All services are performed in-home unless otherwise noted. Davis will let you know what the piano needs before any work begins.
South Carolina humidity is hard on pianos.
The Upstate SC lake country climate brings humid summers and drier winters — seasonal swings that cause soundboards and bridges to swell and contract, threatening tuning stability and long-term structure. A Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver system eliminates that variable entirely.
