🎹 Have you ever noticed that the lowest strings inside a piano are wrapped in copper?

It's not just for looks—it's actually one of the smartest pieces of engineering inside the entire instrument.

Those deep, rich bass notes require much heavier strings. If manufacturers used plain steel, the lowest strings would need to be over 20 feet long!

Instead, they wrap a steel core with pure copper, adding the weight needed to create those beautiful low notes while keeping the strings at a practical length.

👉 Swipe through to see:
• Why bass strings are wrapped in copper
• The difference between single-wound and double-wound bass strings
• How piano manufacturers create incredible bass sound—even in compact upright pianos

💡 Fun Tip: If you ever look inside a piano, try not to touch the copper strings. The natural oils on our hands can cause them to tarnish over time.

Every piano has a story to tell—and sometimes the most fascinating parts are the ones hidden under the lid.

👇 Before today, did you know why piano bass strings are wrapped in copper?

👍 Yes!
😮 Nope, I learned something new today!

"We are here to make good things happen for other people—“

That sign hanging in my office has always reflected what I hope Turner Keyboards stands for, and yesterday was a wonderful reminder of why.

One of the greatest blessings of being in this business isn't the pianos—it's the people. And trying to make good things happen for other people usually means those good things come right back to us through the people we meet in the friendships we build.

Many years ago, I first met Mark Bowers when he was selecting a beautiful Kawai grand piano for his church. I still remember sitting and listening to him play; his touch on the piano was simply heavenly. That introduction led me to meet his sweet wife, Becky, and their two beautiful daughters, who are now all grown up—with one married and the other soon to be!

Today, we're fortunate to have Mark as one of our talented piano instructors here at Turner’s Piano Studio and Keyboards, sharing his gifts with students every week. While I see Mark regularly, I realized it had been years since Becky and I had seen each other.

So what a treat it was when she stopped by yesterday for a hug, a smile, and a chance to catch up.

Moments like these remind me that what begins as helping someone find the right piano often grows into friendships that last for decades. We are truly blessed by the wonderful people who walk through our doors and become part of the Turner Keyboards family.

Thanks for stopping by, Mark and Becky. You made my day!

Family businesses are a little different around here… 💙🎹🚚

At Turner’s Keyboards, the summer you turn 15… you start working! 😄

Breanna, our oldest, has already been part of the family business for a couple of years helping in the office, and now it’s Aiden’s turn to officially join the crew this summer!

Pictured here: Morgan, Aiden, and Skylar ready to tackle another day with the truck. Piano moves, deliveries, warehouse work… learning the ropes starts early around here!

As a family business that’s been around since 1955, it’s pretty special watching the 4th generation slowly start learning the business. Breanna and Aiden may be just getting started, but seeing them step into the Turner’s story means more than we can put into words.

Family has always been a big part of what makes Turner’s, Turner’s, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We know a lot of you can relate… did you grow up working in the family business? What was your first job? Bonus points if it involved a broom, a cash register, or being voluntold by your parents. 😂👇

Some days, the best moments are the quiet ones after everything is over.

Walking into the showroom this morning and still seeing the chairs from this past week’s recitals was one of those moments. It’s a reminder of how grateful we are to have a space filled with music, students, families, teachers, and memories being made.

For us, it’s never just about pianos. It’s about the people who gather around them. Thank you to everyone who allows us to be a small part of your musical journey. 🎹❤️
