Brian is extremely knowledgeable and clearly has tremendous expertise in all things piano related…read more He has provided extremely helpful advice on numerous occasions and performed a detailed evaluation on a piano we were interested in. @Michael L below, we also have not heard back from Brian despite multiple attempts recently. Brian has always been very responsive, so I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt. These days especially, we never know if someone is going through health issues, a family emergency, or other issue. Hopefully, we'll hear from him soon, and until then, we wish Brian all the best. And safety and good health.

Greg just finished tuning my Steinway Model B, purchased in 1971 from Steinway in NY and here in…read morethe Bay Area since 1974. Greg did a painstaking, amazing job, for a very reasonable cost. He also educated me quite a bit about Steinway pianos generally and about mine in particular -- not surprisingly, considering his vast expertise, it turns out he does work for Steinway to make sure the pianos they sell locally are perfect. Over the 50 years my piano has lived in the Bay Area I've entrusted its tuning and voicing to perhaps a half-dozen professionals, all highly rated here on Yelp! and well-reputed in the musical community, and from now on Greg is the only one who will touch it ... So There! So glad I found him (thanks, Yelpers!)

The floor had all of the upright and grand models we were interested in; Chris gave us plenty of time to explore them. He also plays beautifully, and was able to bring out the differences in various models. We had some issues with delivery of the piano, to include the states of its initial arrival. Those were beyond the direct control of San Mateo Piano, but they were very responsive and reasonable in finding timely resolutions.

Jian Min was responsive and professional. He showed up on time and did a good job…read more As my piano hadn't been tuned in a long time, he provided the option of a longer one time tuning or two separate tuning sessions one month apart. Given that the price difference was minimal and that it would have been easier for him to do a single session instead of coming here twice, I appreciate that he recommended the separate sessions to give the piano time to settle before subsequent fine tuning. He also recommended an in-piano dehumidifier as my location is very humid (which is true) and there are visible signs of moisture damage inside the piano. I appreciate that he informed me of this, but without being pushy about it.

I highly recommend Jian Min. My daughter used to play piano but hasn't in years. Recently my 6 year…read moreold granddaughter started lessons and I decided to get it tuned. It's been about 20 years! Jian arrived on time, after examining he quoted me a price of $145 for medium level tuning and recommended 6 month retuning. It took him about 1 1/2 hours. He needed bright light and absolute quiet. He even had us turn off the heater. One key was stuck and he fixed that as well. I had looked around- several music teachers do this as a side job and a local person wanted more than double for the same service. If you want dependable, high quality workmanship at a reasonable price this is the place!
