Truly a wonderful experience having Joan tune my new piano. She was very quick to reply to my…read moreemail, answered all my questions on the phone, was available to come to my home within 48 hours, and showed up right on time. Joan is clearly a master of her craft with tons of experience. She patiently answered my 10 billion questions about new piano ownership, and even took a lot of time to research specifics that were applicable to my piano, since it's a hybrid acoustic piano/digital "silent" piano. She also offered reasonable, practical, solutions and options to ensure optimal maintenance, for instance with maintaining ideal humidity levels in my home as well as potentially installing humidity controllers within the piano. Lastly, it's important to mention her prices were very reasonable. I can tell she really cares about what she does. On a side note, it was also extremely satisfying to watch and listen to her tune a piano. Very highly recommended!

Chamber music refers to a genre of classical music performed by a limited number of instruments with only one player to a part with prescribed roles - melody, counter melody, inner voice and bass line. In the context of a chamber group, students learn teamwork while improving their own rhythm and intonation and finding their own music expression within the group's dynamics. MALI's experienced instructors work together to create these chamber groups and pace them through the development process, while adapting and re-arranging music to match the technical and expressive abilities of its members. Our goal is to eventually expose all of our students to this wonderful and fun music experience.

After doing some research online…read moreand went to a few big piano stores, i found my love - a Yamaha C1 in great condition in Pianotek. Dennis, the owner, was very helpful and knowledgeable. He has a great selection of pianos in his store and the price is very reasonable compared to other big piano stores in the area. Dennis said I can even use the price i paid for my Yamaha to upgrade to a Steinway as a credit within 10 years! After sale service is great too. I got my C1 6 months ago and Dennis is the one who maintains and tunes it. I will highly recommend Pianotek to anyone who is in the market of buying a quality piano.

My pianos have never sounded better. He gave me a welcomed and thorougd history of both of my Steinways. Having gone through multiple tuners, it is of no doubt that he is the one. His wisdom of the mechanics and the intricacies of the instrument is evident. I have had the same tuner for several generations and he is the first one that has respected the instrument and the work that has been done. Every tuner has their own phrases that they test during tuning. Dennis is a genius. Plain and simple. His tests are the equivalent of a Carnegie Hall performance. An absolute brilliant mind. Most tuners are a chore to get through and with him, it is a performance. He taught me many things I would have never known. He is as good as it gets. There aren't enough food words. An incredibly kind and knowledgeable gentleman and a master in his craft I reinforce the other voices on Yelp and would wholeheartedly recommend Pianotek and their services. It doesn't get any better. .

I really appreciated that the first lesson was free, too. Highly recommend. Lots of instruments to choose from.
