Finally, I have a piano tuner to call that responds, communicates and is pleasant to have in your home. I am on a mission to refer William to my musical friends, as we have all struggled to find a piano tuner since COVID.

I was contacted within several hours of requesting online Mr. Kamstra's piano services. It was easy to schedule an appointment online and Mr. Kamstra confirmed my appointment online and showed up on the date and time. He was very professional, he took his time tuning my piano as well as addressing several other issues with my piano. He was done within an hour and our piano sounds beautiful. I was very happy with his services and will use him again for our yearly tuning.

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Have patience. A good tuning like a fine meal takes time to provide.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    When was the last time I had my piano tuned? Repair work is different than Tuning. Tuning is adjusting the strings to a desired pitch. Repair work fixes issues with the various components of the Piano. How much use does the piano receive? once a day, once or more a week, etc. If the Piano is brand new it will require at least two or more tunings the first year according to manufacturer's directions.
