    Nori working on piano.
    Nam N.

    Nori was proficient and professional. He was clean and detailed and was great at explaining what he was doing. Price was fair and was like a doctor assessing a patient. Piano was a 1987 Schafer & Sons which had not been tuned in 30 years. He cleaned up all the dust and brought it back to life. This was my childhood piano and mow will be my 7 yo's to use.

    Tuned to perfection! Extremely high level of understanding and experience with working on old pianos. He takes valuable care for the piano and guides you through each step on what needs to be worked on. At the end of the sessions, everything was perfect. On top of that, he really cares about the safety of the customers and even cleans up the piano after leaving.

    I always get a pamphlet in my mail for Hollywood Piano, that is also affiliated with Pasadena…read moreSymphony & Pops. I love and play the piano SO much and wanted to give this place a try and see what they had in store for me. I walked in on Friday, March 27th and was greeted by 2 of their employees that were nice, kind and helpful. They wanted to know what was it that I needed? I just wanted to see what my options were. With that being said, I started to play on few of their pianos, but didn't really get to the point of purchase. They have a variety of pianos: to rent, sell, they also come to your house or wherever that you have the instrument and will tune it for you for a reasonable cost. Also have movers to help you move your piano. This visit was mainly to check out and see what they had. Since I live in an apartment, our landlord doesn't allow us to have any musical instruments in the building. What a BUMMER!! They do financing and will work out a plan with you and negotiate a price for you. If and when I ever move into a house, I will definitely keep this place in mind. They've been established since 1928. By appointment only and the sale was going on March 27-29. Hours of operation is 10AM to 6PM. Don't know much about their parking situation, because I parked outside on the street.

    I was waiting for few months before writing this review. The reason is that my piano and PianoDisc…read moreinstallation had some issues. I was waiting to see how Gus deals with it and whether he would be as committed to support me as he was to close the deal and sell the piano. There is another issue here that made things more complicate - I leave in San Jose, while Hollywood Piano is in LA. Well... I have only good things to say about Hollywood piano: (1) No pressure sell, (2) Fair price, (3) 5-stars service, (4) Large selection of brands When the piano was delivered, the Hollywood Piano technician flew-into San Jose to make sure all is good and I'm a happy customer. This is a VIP service you get only when you buy a Steinway piano, I received it with a Ritmuller piano from Hollywood Piano. Later after few issues came up. Gus himself drove from LA to San Jose to help. Then when issues continued with the PianoDisc system, Gus paid a PianoDisc factory person to come twice and clear all issues (that were PianoDisc related, nothing to do with Hollywood Piano). Pianos and PianoDisc systems are very complex, issues may happen. It is a question of how the dealer handles it. Does the dealer stand behind the customer and doesn't give up before everything is fixed. This is exactly what Gus was doing. He didn't give up. A token of thanks also goes to Andriy who responded promply to all my questions during the pre-sell and exploration phase. Bottom line, I strongly recommend on Hollywood Piano, no wonder they have the largest showroom, the most demanding customers (the Hollywood studios) and they are so many years in the business. Thank you Gus, Andriy and the entire team.

    After working on my 40-year old Baldwin, Johnny told me it needed regulation. The tuning and…read moreregulation cost almost $1000. Tuning may have been fine but instead of one key that had a problem initially, when he was done, there are 4 keys that now have a problem. He wanted to charge me another $300+ to come back and fix it. He had excuses for what happened, but as far as I am concerned, he should have made it right. Beware of his many claims to fame of being the best in the world. He is definitely not number 1 in my book, other than number one to avoid. Rather than spending more money, or buying a new piano, I fixed it myself.

    Johnny is hands-down the best tuner we have ever had. I've played for several decades, and know…read moreexactly how I want it to sound. Once he had completed the tuning, I played all the intervals, all octaves, both hands, a few pieces, etc. He patiently waited, listened, and the 2 or three notes that weren't **exactly** to my liking, he worked at until I was satisfied. I don't know how he did it, honestly. All the pitches were already perfect, yet a major 3rd, 2 octaves apart just didn't feel right somehow. I couldn't tell him 'high' or 'low', I could only say 'I like this', 'I like this', 'but these two together: I don't like this'. And by god, he fixed it. There may be another tuner in the world who would do that, work at it till it was perfect (by my definition) but I've not found them -- and certainly not in our area. He may not be a slick salesman, but he was absolutely professional, both in his scheduling, work, and finished product. I've noticed a couple of his negative reviews here and there, and my guess is it extends from his quirkiness. But he doesn't just use his little app. He listens (!) while he's tuning. That's how the pro's used to do it, and you had to be good to work at all. Now in the 21st century, any tone-deaf wanna-be with an iPhone can try and do this job, and we've unfortunately had a couple of them, but Johnny is that rare find of a magical unicorn that plays, listens, hears, and knows how to apply his unique talents to this work. Unreservedly would hire again, and have scheduled him again for our next tuning.
