Thank you for your review! I can't wait to see the new paint job on your walls! We'll move the piano back and tune it and then you'll just play and play and play, right? :-) Thanks again for taking the time to post this review!

Description of Work: I called about moving and tuning a piano. Ultimately, I chose to purchase a digital piano so their services weren't needed. However, during discussions, I found them reasonably priced, and quite knowledgeable about what I needed. They were also quite responsive, responding to multiple requests for information.

Thank you for taking the time to report about my service. I am concerned about the D you gave me for responsiveness. I hope that you will take the time to explain this mark. I hope to improve if this mark is truly how you feel. I hope that it was simply a mistaken key stroke. Did I take too long to call you back? I really don't remember. From time to time I do get very busy and lose things on my desk. If that was the problem I very much apologize. I hope that I can earn higher marks with you in the future. Please also know that I am a 7th day Sabbath keeper and am not likely to return calls placed over the weekend sometimes. I do try and return them timely come Monday though. Thank you again for your business!

Description of Work: He provided a piano tuning. He has been providing service for us for about 10 years. He’ s very good at knowing you can only tighten the strings so much at one time. Appointments are fine and we’ve had no problems; we have complaints. We would recommend their service to others.

I must say that I'm a little confused by this review. I'm glad to have left a positive impression in your mind but I think all we did was move the piano out and back for you when you had your carpeting put in. I can't remember ever having tuned it. If I did and I'm being a little brain dead, forgive me. I do have a rather large client base and cannot remember everyone. Nevertheless, thank you for the review!

Description of Work: Mr. Newell showed up exactly on time. In addition to his technical skills, he had a wealth of information about the inner workings of pianos that is comprehensive. He offered options and outlined the pros and cons. He is very frendly and I will recommend him to anyone who wants a piano tuned, refinished, hauled or to purchase. He is honest and extremely skilled.

Thank you for your positive report! I'm sorry that you felt the price was higher than you had hoped. Most folks don't realize what it costs for all the associated things that go along with providing a service. There are employees and all their various taxes and insurance for employee, business and truck. Of course there's the truck itself and all it's upkeep and the moving supplies (pads, dollies, straps and such). I'm glad you liked what we did and we do endeavour to keep the prices as reasonable as possible. I hope we get to see you again!
