Absolutely DO NOT hire "Pianos for Humanity" or anyone associated with "Jay" for any piano-related…read moreservices. This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had with any service provider, and it resulted in significant damage to both my home and a beautiful vintage instrument. I acquired a 64-year-old Yamaha piano from FB and foolishly contacted Pianos for Humanity for moving, cleaning, and tuning, based on a $600 quote. What I got was a complete and utter disaster. "Professional" is the last word I would use to describe this operation. It was essentially one mover plus Jay, who is not a mover, with a truck, and zero expertise. The first red flag should have been when they asked me to help move the piano. Then, Jay had the audacity to ask me to call my friends to find another person to assist! This was during a workday, so obviously, I couldn't find anyone. Despite sending photos of my narrow staircase in advance, upon arrival, Jay put on an act and suggested I just give him the Yamaha and take one of his smaller spinets instead! This should have been my cue to cancel everything, but I unfortunately I didn't. The "move" itself was a horrifying display of incompetence. I nearly got crushed between the piano and the wall due to their complete lack of technique. The result? A hole punched in my wall, gouges all over my stairwell walls, and the once pristine Yamaha now bears numerous scratches and chips. They also scratched my hardwood floors from dragging the metal piano wheels, stained my white baseboards beige after dropping a wood stain bottle, and then, to add insult to injury, slicked up my floor with WD-40 leaking from his bag! And for this carnage, they still had the nerve to charge me the full $600! "Jay" calls himself "the piano man," but he demonstrated zero respect for this beautiful piece of history. He is hostile, unprofessional, and utterly clueless about proper piano handling. Please, please, PLEASE avoid "Pianos for Humanity" and "Jay" at all costs. Even if you're considering buying a piano from him, I implore you to hire a reputable, professional moving company. I doubt he would show any regards for the instruments once a sale is made. This experience was a nightmare from start to finish, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Wouldn't have been any big deal except the interaction on the phone asking the tech about it felt defensive, like he felt I was accusing him, which I wasn't. Then I got to the store and asked the guy at checkout and got the same feeling. Like my statement about not getting a text was an unreasonable point. Anyway, an awkward interaction, BUT I got it, and all is good. I think it's best when dealing with customers to just try hard to assume best intentions. I somehow ended up feeling defensive by just commenting that I didn't get a text. Like "why didn't I get a text?" That's innocent, right? I think so. In their position I would have said "I'm really sorry about that. We sent a text, and it didn't go through. I hope it wasn't too much inconvenience." Boom, done. Anyway, this all seems so silly as I'm saying it, but it's honestly annoying to feel like I'm a problem when I don't think I did anything wrong. There are a lot of options out there, and customer service is quite important to me. In fact, I'd spend more for it. It's a niggle, but its important to me to feel welcomed.

Gary does an excellent job of teaching him proper piano techniques and skills such as timing, body position, rhythm and makes it fun. My son had already developed some bad habits or not learned them correctly the first two years of lessons. Gary worked diligently to make sure those were corrected and he had a good foundation and has improved exponentially these past two years. Gary incorporates songs my son is familiar with into his lessons as well as technique practice. With his improvement over the past two years, he has also developed a love for playing and frequently asks if he can practice rather than me having to constantly remind him to practice. I highly recommend Gary as a piano instructor and we hope to have several years of him teaching our children.

Awesome, wonderful, excellent and amazing are words that barely scratch the surface. My youngest son and I have been taking lessons here for going on four months now.

Every time we walk in, we're greeted with smiles and the staff is genuinely happy to see us. The owner also takes the time to say hi! My son is a special needs student and his teacher is absolutely fantastic with him. His singing teacher is also my singing teacher and her ability to cater her teachings to our individual needs is unparalleled. Not to mention, the class is downright fun. My piano lesson immediately follows the singing lesson, and my teacher is amazing. I took piano when I was a kid (I wish I never would've quit), and my instructor is able to bring out a lot of what I learned when I was younger. She's amazing. For all you kids out there taking music lessons, please don't stop. I promise, you'll regret it. I'm a 39 year old man. So, if you're an adult like me and think it's too late to take on an instrument or learn to sing; I urge you to kick that negativity to the curb and come sign up at the Loveland Academy of Music. I promise, you won't regret it. Their staff is amazing with both kids and adults!

I reached out to Ralph to get initial price quotes on piano tuning and he was very responsive,…read morefriendly, and communicative! With his experience and expertise I did not have to think twice about hiring him. My family's piano had not been tuned in over 10 years and had some keys that were stuck. Ralph took apart the entire keyboard (I didn't realize there are so many layers to a piano), and he found so many things embedded that we would never have found. After putting it all back together he expertly tuned our piano and it sounds almost brand new. If you are deep cleaning your piano, I suggest having a duster and small vacuum handy to pick up the excess dust bunnies inside (we had a lot), and also a large towel or some kind of padded surface to be able to set the keyboard down when taking it all apart. It took just under two hours for the deep cleaning plus the extra long tuning since it had been a while. For our next regular tuning, we will definitely be calling up Ralph again! Thank you!
