Hired on Thumbtack

I'm very glad to have found Ian on Thumbtack for his piano tuning services. He was very prompt, both in his responses on Thumbtack and in arranging for an appointment. I appreciated his quick, yet honest and thorough assessment prior to servicing the piano. He also gave me invaluable advice for preparing my piano for sale.

Ian arrived early and was personable and professional from the start. He explained what he was doing and why. I've had the piano tuned before, but Ian did a much better job. His fee was quite reasonable, even more so considering the time and care he took in tuning the piano.

Highly recommend Ian. First time using his service. Excellent tuning and attention to piano action, tone and overall mechanics. Knowledgeable and clearly experienced. I’ve been looking for a first rate technician and you get that with Ian. Booking again - hands down!
