She corrected a squeaky pedal problem by correcting the recent original installation of the stabilizer on my Baldwin Baby Grand Piano. She also tuned the C Sharp which had a slight ringing sound, and fixed the two broken white keys. She educated me on the range of the Hertz tuning. I heard the differences and agreed with her suggestions. I highly recommend her for piano tuning services. She is honest and is a problem solver too.

Alethia is great, super professional and very communicative. She sounded very thorough, going through all the keys several times and let me know about the issues my very old piano had before repairing and charging me. I will definitely request her services in the future!

Outstanding. Did a very thorough job, but very efficiently. Happy to explain the process and the issues. Also did some pedal repair (works great) and gave some smart and easy maintenance recommendations. My piano sounds and feels great. Highly recommended; will definitely hire again in the future.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    When I was 17 years old, the middle school I graduated from needed an assistant violin teacher for their 5th-8th grade orchestra class. Shortly after I began assisting, I started my own business as a private teacher and haven’t looked back since.
