Ryan was amazing. He provided excellent next day service. My piano keys were a little sticky and it was slightly out of tune, but there was something else that was wrong that I couldn't quite articulate. As he worked on it, he noticed that the piano was playing loudly no matter how softly you touched the keys - that was the thing I couldn't identify. The piano plays great now and sounds so much better. Best of all, he charged less than all the other piano tuners who contacted me.

My piano hasn’t sounded this good in years! My baby grand was in dire need of a tuning and repairs to the pedals and keys. Now it sounds amazing! Quality work with respect to a beautiful antique. Will absolutely be using them in the future! Thank you Ellison Piano!
