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! :)

Austin came out and after a few minutes told me it had a cracked sound board and he didn't think it was worth tuning. If someone had told me to check the sound board (which is easy to access) before sending him out I would have seen that. He suggested I buy a new piano from them at about 4000.00 and have them move my piano to a landfill for about 560.00. Not a pleasant experience.

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!
