Charles has been the best tuner I've had in many, many years. He also fixed a broken hammer stem…read moreand did a fine job on it. What impressed me when we first met was his referring to tuning pianos the old school way (tuning fork and his own ear), which differs from using an electronic tuner. He uses both, but for those who do not know or understand, the old method requires the tuner to use his ear primarily, and listen for overtones between notes of different registers to get the piano to sound "right" in all registers. It's kinda difficult to explain, but when tuning a piano exclusively with an electronic tuner it actually will not sound all that good. You want your notes and chords to agree with one another when playing chords in different registers which will be slightly different than what a computer tuner tells you to do. Charles does this and it sounds GREAT! :)

Joe Jackson and company were wonderfully honest and straight forward from the start, and we ended…read moreup getting what I hope will be a terrific piano for our own house. My wife was the St. Louis Symphony's piano technician for decades. She retired after the beating her body took in this demanding profession. Joe knew they had to satisfy someone who truly understood the sound of a perfectly regulated 9 foot Steinway concert grand. Plus a composer who would be tinkling super-softly to find perfect harmonies. Joe and Jan steered us away from instruments that would not have satisfied us. We picked out a Yamaha baby grand and can hardly wait for it to arrive. Joe knows to make it sound and feel as good as humanly possible to please this tough crowd. Meanwhile our cats are playing under and barfing on the plastic sheet outline we made (to find the perfect placement for the real thing.)

I was thinking about selling my old upright piano, but didn't know what to really expect, and so I called Ray at the Piano Factory. At the time I called him, I could hear that he was under the weather by his voice, but he nevertheless spent a lot of time answering my questions. He was very patient, kind, responsive, and most importantly, honest. Even though he could have bought my piano and re-sold it for higher, he honestly told me that if it were him in my shoes, knowing my decision-making considerations, he would just keep the piano in family. It is so refreshing to know in this day and age especially that solid people like Ray are around! Thank you Ray for your time, advice, and honesty!

Extra Delightful Instrument Purchase Experience!…read more My daughter and I decided, on a whim, to buy his and her ukuleles. We checked Amazon of course, but wanted to hold and feel the instruments before buying them. Music and Arts had them on display at the location right by us (Bridgeton), and we special ordered the colors we wanted. The guy who helped us (Favian? maybe?) just made every part of our purchase wonderful -- like he was thanking us for our decision to take up music. He asked the kind of instruction we were going to use. When we told him YouTube, he complimented us again, and then shared that ukulele lessons are available at Music and Arts - who knew?!? (Clearly, we didn't.) Again, though, things didn't feel salesy - we just felt like we were being welcomed into the world of music. The kicker? We weren't even there for more than 7 minutes! Five stars!
