Nothing but good things to say about Joan. She is very thorough and knowledgeable, inquired about the condition and details about the piano and noted possible additional tuning as necessary with potential costs discussed upfront. Punctual, meticulous, and friendly. Plays very well and tunes by ear. Recommend to anyone looking for a reliable tuner with great value!

Joan came punctually, checked out my piano carefully before starting her work, and explained everything to me , including potential problems and issues with my old and rather beat-up piano. It turns out that the piano’s poor condition precluded her from doing the 2 tunings that it needed. She clearly did everything that she could to with our piano, and we appreciated her honesty & sincerity. Highly recommend!

My Piano was dead, it just didn’t know it yet. Joan and I discussed various forms of life support, as the piano which had been in my family for 70 years had a cracked bridge, and a high probability of not surviving a tuning to concert pitch. The truth was, it wasn’t worth fixing. During our discussion, the idea of getting a different used piano came up, and she called a client who was looking to sell one she had recently tuned. It was in my price range and she knew the piano well. What luck! Not only had I found a Piano Tuner for life, so knowledgeable in her profession, and with an honest pleasant demeanor, I got to solve my temperamental piano problem that no one ever wanted to bring up to concert pitch before. It was Joan who showed me the real reason why, and had a great solution in her back pocket
