Ian - Was Awesome…. He arrived on time and completed the work timely. He explained a couple components about the piano I was not aware of. He cleaned and tuned our piano which sounds so much better. I will definitely use Ian’s services again. Thank You!

I received expert advice and a solid opinion on how to keep my piano sounding its best as well as knowledge on why the keys were a little firmer when pressed down compared to other pianos. I will use Ian for all future piano tunings or other services he offers which will help my piano sound closer to some of the more expensive models, even if not identical. Also, my dog Harmony seemed to get along well with him and considering her expert musical ears, that sealed the deal for me! Haha

He showed up right on time and tuned my piano perfectly to 440hz as requested, faster than I expected! He was very friendly and gave me more information on how to improve the quality if my piano. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great piano tuner in the LA area!

Did a great job on my 65-year-old Krakauer! He also kept in touch about appointment time and totally cleaned the piano interior. I would definitely call Always In Tune again.
