I recently had my Samick upright piano tuned, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. The tuner, Vernon, arrived right on time, was friendly and courteous, and took great care to answer my questions. Most importantly, the piano now sounds absolutely wonderful— perfectly in tune across every register. He also thoughtfully suggested (without any pressure) ways to further enhance the piano’s tone and richness, knowing that I often play classical pieces that benefit from greater dynamic range. If you care about your instrument and want someone who treats your piano with skill and respect, I highly recommend this tuner. I’ll definitely be calling again for future tunings!

Vernon is fantastic! He's incredibly professional and always friendly. He's got a deep understanding of what he does, I can definitely tell he has plenty of experience. My piano, which is a second-hand one, desperately needed tuning. Vernon did an excellent job, and it sounds wonderful now. He's also proactive about reminding me when it's time for cleaning and tuning. Not to mention, he noticed the worn-out felt on the keys and replaced it too. I've been relying on his services for quite some time, and he's essentially become the go-to "doctor" for my piano. I'd definitely recommend Vernon to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional.

Absolutely fantastic work repairing and tuning our piano on short notice. Completely amazed at how much work he put into making it sound great after many years. 100% will have him come back and maintain the piano, and heartily recommend.
