piano tuner

noun

First recorded in 1855–60

All 60 pianos were kept in shape by Fred Patella, a local piano tuner who trawled the city every day.

She reproached me for marrying a pauper, and said I'd better have stuck to the piano-tuner unless you were he in disguise!

"No, I never heard of you before," replied the piano-tuner, stolidly.

He had paid no attention to the piano-tuner's tone and look.

Then Naomi herself stole with soft, bold steps to the piano-tuner's door.

"It's a pity you haven't a manager whom you can respect and like," the piano-tuner remarked.
