Terrific job by Jeff. He was very professional, sincere and gave us very helpful information on how to keep our piano in good shape. We will definitely use him next time to check and fine tune out piano.

First time using Dr. Keys service but definitely won't be our last! Jeff took the time to look over the piano and make sure everything was as fine tuned as possible. Our piano is located in a memory care facility, and the kindness and courtesy he paid our residents while he was working was truly wonderful. He took time to explain what he was fixing, and how he was fixing it. Thanks Dr Keys!

Jeff was a pleasure to invite into my home to tune my piano. It has been a long time since being tuned and I was amazed at how good it sounds after being worked on. Such a gentleman and true professional.

The piano tech was very professional and courteous. And although this piano had been neglected for quite some time, he worked hard to bring it up to pretty good working condition. He asked questions to find out what I wanted to do with the piano in order to explain what limitations I may face with using a secondhand piano that hadn't been played, cleaned or tuned in years. I'm looking forward to beginning lessons and will definitely call upon Jeff next year to tune it again.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  As you may know, there are 208 to 215 strings to tune in any piano. I charge a fair flat-rate fee of 140.00. To be competitive, will match any price out there. This includes, if applicable, pitch raises within 20 cents +- A440. Travel allowance to be applied if further than 15 miles.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Need 1 to 3 hrs blocked time for tuning to cover for pitch raise. Most tunings are done in an hour and a half to two hours. A quiet environment will be needed as all testing is done by ear.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
