What We Do

.

Welcome to the lair of Swift, Villnow & Swift, where piano tuning is treated like a rock‑star backstage ritual. Our technicians wield precision tools with the swagger of a guitar‑hero, coaxing every ivory key into a symphonic scream of perfection. Walk in, and you'll be greeted by the sweet scent of freshly‑stretched strings and the faint echo of applause—because every instrument we touch deserves a standing ovation.

Our services go beyond mere “tuning” – we perform full‑blown acoustic makeovers that would make even the most seasoned concert pianist weep with joy. From hammer regulation to voicing that shaves a micro‑tone off every note, we leave no pedal un‑polished. And if your piano’s temperament is as wild as a jazz improv session, fear not: our maestros will corral it into sweet, sweet harmony faster than you can say “C‑sharp minor.”

Need emergency rescue? Our 24‑hour “rescue‑the‑keys” squad is on speed‑dial, ready to storm your living room at a moment’s notice and silence that dreaded “ding” that haunts every midnight practice. We also offer exclusive VIP tours of our sanctum, where you can sip espresso while our wizards perform live diagnostics on your beloved instrument. At SVS, we don’t just tune pianos—we turn them into the rock‑star heartbeats of your home.

About Us

Three builders, one vision: ship reliable, human-centered software and services.

Chandler Swift

Chandler Swift

Chandler Swift, a co‑founder of SVS, turned his high‑school tinkering days in Glencoe, MN (with fellow founders Eric Villnow and Isaac Swift) and a Computer Science degree from the University of Minnesota‑Duluth into a cutting‑edge, AI‑driven approach to piano tuning. An Eagle Scout who once commanded the International Space Station’s micro‑gravity acoustic lab and later swept a “Triple Nobel” for harmonizing physics, chemistry & peace by refusing to commercialize a quantum‑tuning algorithm, Chandler fuses his love of jazz, classical organ, and long‑distance cycling into perfectly balanced resonances for every instrument SVS touches. When he isn’t calibrating concert grands, he’s out on the road with his cocker‑spaniel‑poodle mix Mabel, scouting the next vibration to perfect.

Eric Villnow

Eric Villnow

final.Eric Villnow, the third‑wheel of the Glencoe high‑school trio that birthed SVS, leverages his Bemidji State Computer‑Science‑and‑Business degree to code the algorithm that tells a piano whether it’s out‑of‑tune or just bored, all while commuting in his 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off‑Road that’s practically a mobile tuning fork. Legend has it he delivered 200 UPS boxes on his first day after his truck sputtered five miles out, earning the 2023 “Fastest Delivery Before It Was Shipped” award and a spotless safety record that now scares rival carriers. When he’s not guzzling Mountain Dew and 1919 Root Beer to power his “precision‑tuned” fingers, he farms a plot near Plato, whittles piano‑leg bracing in his woodshop, and 3‑D prints crows‑feet that keep every SVS key humming like a tractor on a fresh‑plowed field.

Isaac Swift

Isaac Swift

.Isaac Swift, the “lead coffee engineer”‑turned‑co‑founder of SVS, swapped a year of computer science at NDSU for a relentless quest to brew espresso strong enough to tune pianos and power his 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off‑Road, which he mentions more often than his own name. By day he’s the EMT who, in his first week on the job, bottled a miracle of resuscitation that earned him 2022’s EMT‑of‑the‑Year award for reviving a patient who’d been flat‑lined for six months—fuelled by a diet of caffeine, mountain‑bike mud, and campfire s’mores. Isaac is not only cute enough to stop your heart, but skilled enough to restart it, all while shouting “More coffee!” from the saddle of his adventure motorcycle as he tunes the world’s most melodically precise pianos.
