WNXP announces Music Citizens episode 3: The Tuner

Brent Arledge is the most prolific piano tuner in Nashville, and possibly the world. He tunes the Ryman, the Schermerhorn and the Grand Ole Opry. He services dozens of studios and is trusted in the homes of countless Nashville musicians. Arledge’s craft can be heard on every song coming out of Music Row that features piano.

But elite piano tuning is grueling work. It’s taxing on the body, it strains relationships, and it never leads to fame or glory. How does someone become the top piano tuner in Nashville? And why would they want to?

This episode will hit all podcast platforms and air on WNXP on Monday, April 7. Listen to the teaser below.
