Great work on a nice piano we had really neglected for years. I was amazed how much time Darin took to get it properly tuned & cleaned!

Darin was pleasant, knowledgeable, did a good job tuning my piano, and I enjoyed the 5 minute concert as he tested for pitch!

Darin is extremely knowledgable with all aspects of piano care, and was very patient with all of my questions. I have an upright piano that had not been tuned since long before I bought it (possibly 10 years). Darin was able to bring it back to life. To accomplish this, he had to raise the pitch quite a bit. The muted off tune tin-like sound is no more. Darin has the heart of a teacher, and took the time to make sure I understood all that he was doing and what his concerns were before he did anything. What I learned through this process was worth more than the money he charged for the tuning. I would reccommend Darin to anyone who needs anything done from tuning to full restoration.
