I really appreciate everything Joel did to help get our old and neglected piano back into shape. Now it plays beautifully! He explained everything before he did anything, and gave me different options and recommendations how to best address our problems. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and punctual too! The tuning was also very reasonably priced. I highly recommend working with him.

Joel did a great tuning job, and even better was his professionalism. He sent email confirmations and a reminder. He was an time (actually a little bit early) and would have phoned if something were going to delay him. He had to come a long way, and I”m thankful to have found out about him.
