We just had a hour first tuning service with Sal. Sal responded quickly and being flexible with our time. Our piano has not been tuned for 2-3 years. He inspected the piano, patiently tuned every key and fixed two keys for us at a reasonable price. We especially appreciate his hard work as we don’t have AC at home and it was such a hot day. We can tell our piano sounds better after his work. Highly recommend Sal for everyone.

Sal did a great job with our pianotuning. It’s been years since we’ve had a tune but he was extra careful to make sure we didn’t break any strings. Price was reasonable. Overall great experience

Great experience, great value for really professional and high quality work. Our piano hadn’t be tuned in probably 30 years, and now it feels good to know it’s how it should be.

Sal worked diligently to get my pianotuned and back in working order. He spent a couple hours working on a 60 year old instrument and gave me very good advice. I am very happy to have found Sal on thumbtack. He is my go to piano expert! Thank you Sal.

This was my first time hiring Sal to tune and repair my 67 year old piano. Sal arrived on time and did not rush to complete the tuning. He spent a couple of hours at it, until he was satisfied with his work. Although I suspected he was going to find the need to make some substantial repairs, that proved to not be the case. He has a good personality, had no problem answering all of my questions and I thought he did a fine job. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.
