Bryan was on time, got right to the job, and did an awesome job getting the piano tuned. He was highly professional, and we will definitely use him in the future--for tuning and for lessons for our great grand nephews when they move here in January!

Bryan arrived punctually at our appointment time. He tuned my piano that hadn't received much TLC in 20+ years. Because I was curious, he also explained a little about the tuning process. I'm very satisfied with the quality of his work!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Discounts available for repeat tuning clients. Common additional fees: 1) Mileage for tunings outside of Reno/Sparks/North Valleys 2) Pitch adjustment for pianos that haven't been tuned in 5+ years 3) Major repairs/parts replacements

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    For teaching piano I hold a preliminary lesson with students to evaluate their skills and to set them up for material for study and practice. Beginners are more than welcome, and diligence and dedication is expected for all levels. For piano tunings/repairs, I will give an overview of how I will tune the piano because often the piano will need two passes, and I try to catch any small repairs necessary as I tune.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
