Recently, my mother-in-law passed away in New Brunswick, New Jersey. One of her possessions was a…read morebaby grand piano that was 50 years old and had not been tuned or serviced for many years. When my son expressed an interest in keeping the piano and shipping it to his home in Columbus, Ohio, I thought it would be a good idea to have it evaluated before incurring the substantial moving expenses. I found Andy through Yelp, contacted him and explained the situation - along with the fact that I was only going to be in NJ for a very short time. He came out that evening and evaluated the piano thoroughly and systematically. He provided us with a comprehensive assessment of the piano in terms of about 40 different items, along with an audio file of some playing and voice notes. Besides being thoroughly professional, Andy was also a delight to work with. I recommend him enthusiastically!

They never tired and kept a tireless pace. I had to make them stop to eat. I have many family heirlooms and not one was damaged. They took ever precaution with every piece of furniture and all TV's. Helped us so much and calmed me down several times during a very stressful time. They were so amazing I hugged all of them at the end. They were referred to me by a good friend who had used them and referred them many times. Their price was very fair and we were very happy. Bode did come to our house prior to the move to give us an estimate. Like I said they were very fair, trustworthy and so polite. I highly recommend!!!

I'm a local in-home music teacher and professional musician in the Hoboken area. I've never left a…read morereview but I feel my experiences with this company requires one. Aart was late to tuning my upright piano, which was meant to take place at 330 on a Friday. He arrived around 415 and didn't leave until 10pm. I have an upright piano in good condition that has been perfectly tuned in under an hour for half as much money. Most of the time spent in my apartment was recording his tuning on his phone and storytelling. When he left, the top octave was flat. I have had a few students use him as well. One had to have him come twice because he left keys in a bad way, another had the top octave nearly a whole step flat. They have also mentioned hours long processes on upright pianos. (I am with these pianos once a week so have see heard firsthand.) As he charges more than many locals and claims to be top notch (he tells many many stories about his pedigree), I feel this is unacceptable.

I like to add that Aart might be the best master piano tuner in Manhattan, too. I can't compare to others because Aart is the only piano tuner to respond to me! Aart has set a high standard, which I imagine would be hard to beat much less follow. Lucky for us because we love our piano and want keep it in optimum shape. I hope Aart's visits become treasured memories for all because we all enjoyed learning the mechanical and technical aspects of our piano. And I believe his insight helps each of us become better pianists. (We're all beginners, but Aart treats us with respect & hope that we all will improve our skills.)
