Marc was extremely pleasant to work with and very responsive to texts. He did an excellent job tuning my old piano and was able to talk about his expertise without talking down to me.

Marc clearly knew what he was talking about and took the time to explain what was happening with my old piano more than just a quick fix tuning. A piano that has been in my family for 60 years will now be able to continue its legacy down the line.

I was extremely pleased with Dr. Mouriers service. He was able to work around my schedule and very prompt upon arrival of both visits. When he came to look at my piano, he disassembled it and showed me exactly what needed work (including estimates). He then left with the piece that needed work and said he would contact me when it was complete to schedule a time to come back (2 weeks). Only five days later he was back with the repaired parts and got to tuning. Talk about efficient:) My piano now sounds beautiful. I am very happy with my experience, and would definitely recommend him. This man knows exactly what he is doing, and I will continue to use him for the job!

Would highly recommend Marc. Not only has he done an excellent job with regular tuning of our piano, but also with repairs. We hired him for some needed repair work and in that process, he diligently assessed the issues, the recurrence of the problems and determined that there was a warranty issue with our piano. Most would stop there and leave it to us to deal with, but he went above an beyond. Marc worked with us on how to navigate the difficult warranty claim process, provided a full write-up of the issues and even communicated directly with the manufacturer on our behalf. He supported us through the whole process. The result was us receiving a new piano that we are very happy with. If not for his assistance we would have spent quite a bit of time and money to try and repair the instrument and would never have been satisfied. Needless to say we will continue to hire him to maintain the high quality of the new piano. Highly Recommended!

Details: Baby grand • Routine tuning • Less than 6 months ago • At least once a week • 1 year or less

Marc was able to work on my piano sooner than I expected and quickly identified the work needed. It had not been tuned in years and had been through several moves so I expected it needed more than tuning. It sounds beautiful and the price was reasonable. I'm so pleased with the results.

That is usually only done during the first 15 years of business. BM, MM, Doctor Of Musical Arts (DMA Cand.) After that you better know your garden...
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was born with an incredible auditory faculty and it early on became the most natural avenue for me. After having finished Masters accreditation as a piano technician, I moved to Jerusalem to further my music education. I spent months after months just studying orchestral rehearsals. One day Arthur Rubinstein was performing (with the Israel Symphony Orchestra) and his private piano tuner was a no-show. Rubinstein needed his concert grand tuned every 30 minutes...I was in the room and offered my services. At the end of the rehearsals Rubinstein took the podium and addressed the orchestra and said:"I want you to know about the dilemma I had with my tuner's absence. This young gentleman took on the job and it is safe to say that I have never played on a better tuned instrument." My career took off as a rocket after that!
