Clearly it needed more help. So I called HILU Piano Service St. Paul. Hoyt came over and applied the necessary time and skills and brought my piano back to life. It sounds amazing !!

I have used Laursen Piano to tune our baby grand and upright pianos for the past 8 years. Brian is…read morethe ultimate professional who always arrives within the planned one-hour window, covers his shoes with booties, wears a mask (at least the past few years), does his work quickly, and provides some great advice and insight into the care and maintenance of the pianos. Beyond tuning, I purchased a humidifier for the Kawai baby grand that has worked very well through many dry Minnesota winters. Of course, I'd love to spend less, but the bill seems to be in-line with their competition. In addition, they always prompt me every 6-12 months that it's time to tune (though I don't always choose to tune the upright every year).

From the owner: This is rather a long story, with many twists and turns. I'll try to summarize the best I can…read more After working with horses for 20+ years, I was ready to allow them to become my hobby rather than my career. To successfully make that switch I knew I needed to find an alternative that I could be equally passionate about. Fast forward through a few part-time jobs, a few years and a few semesters of college classes. I realized that I had been playing my piano more and more years. My music had provided a balance between work and school. At one point, while watching my piano technician make some adjustments to my upright, I realized this might be a career field I should explore. I certainly would never be a professional musician, but perhaps I could learn to fix and improve pianos. I could make that hobby and passion into a profession. That was the start....

Last year we were "thrilled" to find out our 10 year old wanted to play the saxaphone in the school…read moreband. We stopped into Cadenza and had the best experience. We rented an alto sax and the nicest guy ever explained what my son would need. When you rent an instrument for the school year, you pay in full up front. The guy made it clear that you won't pay a penalty if it's past the May deadline because schools have end of the year concerts etc. Near the end of the year we got a card in the mail telling us if we paid for next years rental we could keep the instrument over the summer for free. We did that. Also, a rental includes a yearly "tune up". While the sax was in the shop, our son announced he needed it TODAY for school. Of course. I called the store and talked to the woman who was repairing it. "Oh I'm working on it now, I could have it for you in 20 mins." Perfect
