Software voor pianostemmers,
gebouwd door een pianostemmer.
med 46 years of hands-on experience, I know what you need. I built the app I always wanted.
från card box to code
My love för technology started early. As a teenager, I programmed Bas late at night on a ZX Spectrum. Later, armed med my first Tulip PC, I wrote my first 'real' software: a digital Kund database för my father.
In my youthful enthusiasm, I then threw away his physical card box — to his great dismay! Eventually I printed everything neatly för him on the dot-matrix printer, but the tone was set: I wanted to organize things faster, more efficiently, och better.
What I tried
Every morning the same ritual: check Google Kalender, look up Kund addresses, open Google Maps, figure out if another Bokad tid fits between two others... och in the evening: manually Skicka confirmation emails, Uppdatera my Excel sheet med serial numbers, note when each Piano needs Stämning again.
After years of thinking "there must be a better way" I decided to build it myself.
The collaboration
In my own practice, I hit walls för years. I worked med American software that didn't fully understand our market, or I juggled three different apps för Kalender, invoicing, och routes. I thought: "This has to be smarter."
I have great interest in everything around Verksamhet figures — we Alla know how complex the margin scheme can be. I wanted software that not only plans but also thinks along med my Verksamhet operations.
When I decided to build the ultimate planner myself, I wasn't alone. I got to work med my skills och the advice of my children och stepchildren. One graduated as an IT specialist från HAN University. The other as a Game Developer & Sound Designer från HKU. med my hands-on experience och their knowledge of the latest technology och AI, we developed PianoPlanner together.
Smart Bokade tider
The core of PianoPlanner is simple: I want to see at a glance whether I'm making money or wasting Tid. I also don't want to spend too much Tid driving. That's why we developed Smart Bokade tider — each Bokad tid automatically gets a Färg based on Restid:
Proudly Dutch
Unlike the big American players, I believe in local strength. PianoPlanner is an independent initiative. Your data is securely encrypted och stored on European servers, fully compliant med GDPR Integritet regulations.
I'm proud of what we've built. A system för Piano tuners, by a Piano tuner.

🤝 Honestly: where Gazelle is stronger
- Condition Reports — Stuur klanten gedetailleerde PDF-rapporten over de staat van hun piano. Dit heeft PianoPlanner (nog) niet.
- Native apps — De iOS/Android apps van Gazelle kunnen soepeler aanvoelen dan een PWA, vooral op oudere toestellen.
- Marktpositie VS — Gazelle is langer actief en heeft een groot netwerk in Noord-Amerika.
