I own a 1974 Kawai BL-51 studio upright piano. I play almost every day. It was a little over a year since the last tuning, had some double striking problems, a dead C# bass string and tonal balance issues. And, my trusted tuner retired. So I put in a request for AAA Piano Service on this site. Scott immediately responded and agreed to do the job, within a few days. Another service was unavailable till mid September and was more than I had ever paid before. As Scott was doing the work, we talked a lot and I discovered that he knew as much about music as I do!(maybe more?) I was also dreading the cost of what was needed. When Scott had tuned, removed the broken C# to be replaced, regulated and balanced the tonality and played some music as a test, I was pretty excited. It sounded like a brand new piano!! And, the cost was very reasonable. Each day since, I have been reveling in how great my old piano sounds! Bottom line is that now I can rest assured that Scott will take good care of my piano and at a reasonable price with top drawer knowledge, expertise and experience! Thank you, Scott

Was a great experience! Scott answered quickly and we scheduled an appointment right away. He came in and tuned up my piano perfectly and even gave me a diagnostic on another piano. Definitely recommend. -Jared

Scott was very professional and did a great job tuning our piano that had not been tuned in at least 15 years. Sounds great now.

FAQs

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

  My fee (flat rate 150) includes a tuning , plus cleaning and minor adjustments / repairs ( I.e. , sticky keys or squeaky pedals ). Broken strings are discussed at your home, and pricing depends on what part of the piano has the broken strings. Treble strings have different diameters and lengths , and copper-wound bass strings have a fluctuating raw materials price at a given time. Cabinet work is also assessed onsite.

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

  After introductions, I typically ask “what can you tell me about your piano? “ This gives me better insight as to what else may be going on inside the piano that affects the quality of sound , the velocity of the keys speed/ ease of motion , etc, so I can address those issues prior to the tuning itself.

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

  I attended many meetings and conventions with the Piano Technicians Guild, and occasional work / training at a piano shop in Tacoma to hone my skills (Skelley Piano). I have studied with Don Mannino and Steve Brady at their workshops here in the NW, as well as the Guild conventions venues.
