The Piano Tuner is a historical novel by American author Daniel Mason, set in British India and Burma.

The Piano Tuner was the basis for a 2004 opera of the same name (composed by Nigel Osborne to a libretto by Amanda Holden).

The protagonist, a middle-aged man by the name of Edgar Drake, is commissioned by the British War Office to repair a rare Erard grand piano belonging to a Doctor Anthony Carroll.

Carroll, who is the root of many myths, had the piano shipped to him as a means to bring peace and union amongst the princes in Burma in order to further the expansion of the British Empire.

When the piano tuner goes to meet the surgeon-major against the wishes of the military staff, he finds himself suddenly surrounded.
