I entrusted my 50 year old Yamaha C3 to Ruggero piano service for new hammers. Richard Ruggero…read morethoroughly evaluated the piano in my home and took the action with him to complete the work. This is a job which involves precision and a great amount of detail. He ensured I got the finest hammers from Germany, completed the restoration in the shop and returned to spend six hours meticulously integrating, regulating, voicing and tuning. The piano sounds and feels as though it has just come from the Yamaha factory. I could not be more pleased. He had to contend with a number of incidentals caused by previous work and did not get up from the bench until he was satisfied that the piano was in exemplary condition. I received skilled service, at a fair price and my instrument is in stellar shape. Moreover, Richard and his staff are professional, courteous and accommodating at every step of this process. I give them my highest recommendation!

From the owner: Some kids play video games. Benji fixes things…read more At 14, he bought his first car with money he'd earned working in the neighborhood since he was 11. When the AC broke, he didn't call a mechanic — he watched some videos, got his hands dirty, and fixed it himself. That's just how he's wired. Homeschooled and mechanically gifted, Benji learned piano tuning the old-fashioned way: by watching his dad, Josh, a certified piano tuner. He'd sit quietly, observing, asking questions. Before long, he was doing it himself — with the same precision and care. But here's what makes Benji different: it's not just about the piano. It's about you. He's performed lead roles in Robin Hood and A Christmas Carol. He knows how to connect with people, how to listen, how to make you feel at ease in your own home. When Benji tunes your piano, you're not just getting a tuner. You're getting a young man who was raised to do honest work, serve others, and build relationships that last.

You don't buy a piano every day, but you might buy more than one in a lifetime. I've just bought my…read morefourth piano. And apparently, contrary to popular belief, it turns out that it's the fourth, not the third time, that's the charm! I say this because I'm coming from the absolutely best all-around experience I've had, and that includes all three steps of shopping for a piano, finally choosing a piano, and getting through the delivery of a piano. Haidi, one of the head salespersons at Hopper Piano and Organ in Raleigh, was a delight to work with. Piano shopping for me, and I'm not a professional musician - just someone with enough training to enjoy working on a new piece periodically - is like choosing a car: it has to feel right, it has to sound right, it has to look right (I know this is an odd analogy, but it works). So, I have to see what all the available models out there feel and sound and look like. It's a long, narrowing down process. It takes time and patience to get it right. Lots of trips to the piano stores. Haidi was patience personified. She was always glad to see me walk in, and this held true even after I'd purchased the piano and, while waiting for my delivery date to hit, would show up just to play around with my new piano. Haidi is a fount of information and experience, both on brand history and manufacturing details. She'll play each piano for you so you can walk around the room and take in the sound. Sales pressure was totally absent. Matching me with the best fit was my job alone and Haidi always gave me the time and space to do just that. I recommend her highly. I also have to recommend their professional movers, led by Miguel, who has twenty years of experience in the business, and his on-the-spot assistant movers, Robert and Andrew. As I said, this is my fourth piano buying experience and these guys had moving equipment aides I've never seen before but, in future, would now insist any piano moving company must have. In addition, they laid reems of carpet pad on the stairs to protect both them and the piano. The piano was wrapped in multiple CLEAN moving blankets. They took the time to position the piano exactly where I wanted it, put the piano bench together for me and got it ALL right. I think they move other things, as well. Ask Haidi, she'll know.

He just left, and the thing sounds incredible! On top of that, he's prompt, courteous, affable, and interested in sharing about his process if you are interested in knowing. We didn't get the sense that he was only interested in the business side, as he seemed to enjoy the work, didn't rush, and also didn't charge extra for a repair that he could've. Having quickly surveyed some other piano technicians in the area, his fees are very reasonable for the quality of his work. Hire him!

I highly recommend Corey Sims as an extremely competent, thorough, honest, pleasant, reliable piano tuner....by far the best that I have ever found, and the most reasonably priced. While he was here I mentioned that my old Korg synthesizer was probably dying. Within a few minutes he identified and resolved the problem (other folks had tried and failed.) I cannot overemphasize how pleased I am that he has been my piano tuner for at least a decade. I enthusiastically recommend him!
