My piano needed a lot of work because the last tuning was ten years ago. Robert responded quickly and evaluated my piano thoroughly. He gave me a bid and got to work right away. I was nervous letting him take parts to grind the felt. He came back a week later and leveled the keyboard, equalized it, and tuned it. It sounds fabulous! I forgot how beautiful it can be. He even polished the wood. I’m excited to play it again!

Robert arrived right on time and performed a magnificent job of piano tuning. The piano (a Yamaha Grand) had been sitting idle for two years. In a little over three hours he worked his magic and gave it back it's wonderful voice. Thank you Robert. Highly recommended. David

Mr. Harker seems very knowledgeable about piano mechanics and had lots of suggestions that needed to be done to my very old piano before he could tune it. But he fixed the damper pedal and gave me what seems to be a fair estimate.
