I checked with several services before I made the decision to use TX Pianos to tune and repair my…read more40 year old Grand Piano. Most places didn't respond to my request for an estimate and the couple that did wanted me to sign a contract to have the piano tuned every year or pay them a $75 traveling fee to drive from south Austin to Cedar Park. Then I turned to "Thumbtack" to find a piano tuner. Derek was the first to respond. He owns and operates TX PIANOS, and he responded personally. Gave me a reasonable quote on line to tune the piano (which had not been tuned for 5 or 6 years) and replace a broken string. When I asked about travel pay, he said that if he had 2 or more appointments in the same town he did not charge travel pay. It just so happened he had another tuning appointment scheduled a couple of days later in Cedar Park, so he waived the travel pay. He sent me a text to remind me of the appointment. He sent another text with a location tracker to show me where he was when he was on the way to my house. Derek is very personable and easy to work with. Even my big ole' furry Australian Shepherd, who barks at everyone who tries to enter our house, took up with Derek and walked right up to him, allowed a couple of pets, and never barked at him once during the visit. Derek described what he would need to do and completed the job of tuning and replacing the two broken strings in just a little over an hour. The piano sounded great when he finished and it was more "out of tune" than I thought. Due to the age of the piano and the mallets, we talked about performing a voicing to bring back the rich soft timbre the piano had when it was new, 40 years ago. Again, I received a very reasonable price for the service whenever I decide to have it done. He also put me on a "check-in" schedule for every 6 months to see if I have any other needs throughout the year. It was a pleasure talking with Derek about the piano and we even joked around about our playing techniques - or lack thereof! But most of all, he was reliable and honest and an expert at getting my old grand back in tune. I will not be looking for a piano technician again now that I have met Derek. If you need piano repair or just a tuning, you will not be disappointed with TX PIANO.

Since ours was brand new and only had one service before, he gave some good recommendations for when it needed tuning again and on how to care for the piano. Honest and no pressure. I would highly recommend him. Best of all as a bonus, he loves dogs and got along with both of ours.

Charles has been maintaining our family's three pianos for close to ten years now. We won't let…read moreany other piano technician touch them. He made my wife's baby-grand Schimmel sound like a Steinway. We have two Steinway Bs in small rooms, and Charles was able to voice them so that they don't over-resonate. And speaking of voicing, Charles's excellent care ensures that all octaves of each piano are the same brightness. No dead or overly bright octaves can be heard. Charles has also given us valuable feedback on our children's practicing habits. By observing the wear of the hammers of one piano, he was able to tell us that our oldest child's practicing style was overly percussive. He worried that she might be heading for a repetitive stress injury; our daughter's complaints about pain in her forearms confirmed Charles's suspicion. His timely feedback encouraged us to make an adjustment in our daughter's learning style, and the problem moderated significantly. Gratefully, we consider Charles a good friend too. When we invite him over, he asks about our children's school and music activities. He even listens to my stories. I can only think of one downside to Charles: he's in demand. That means if you need him today or tomorrow, he probably won't be available. But if you can wait for his schedule to clear, he will make your piano sing. If you can't wait, invite him come in later to correct the inferior work your last piano tech did.

Not only was this unprofessional, but he also wants to charge full price despite the mistakes made. I reached out to the company multiple times to have the issue corrected, but they missed two scheduled appointments. They claim to have sent confirmation emails, yet none were ever received. During our conversation, the technician even stated that he never wanted this job but had to do it because it was his family's business. He has since sent combative text messages regarding his own performance and is now demanding an additional $299 to come back and service the piano. If you want your piano serviced correctly and professionally, I'd strongly recommend looking for a different company.

He got to me in the timeframe provided and was very friendly. My dog was walking around while he was working and became best friends with Ron. While working on the piano, he noticed that I had some stuck keys and rusted strings. He communicated with me potential ideas, and we both worked through solutions. At the end of the tuning, he played some amazing music and even polished my piano! It was rather lacking in both the pitch and shine before, and he turned it back into the beauty that it's supposed to be. Thank you so much, Ron, for your help!

Joseph is highly educated and trained. He explained to us that when our 1938 Bush & Gerts baby…read moregrand piano was made in Chicago, it was probably tuned to itself rather than starting with the concert pitch frequency. Not only did it need tuning maintenance, but it also needed to be brought up to concert pitch if we were going to have other instruments play with it. (Family members play the clarinet, flute, violin and trumpet). The piano was significantly below concert pitch (flat). He had to adjust every string to bring it up to pitch but did not need to do any repairs to the hammers or felt at this time. It sounds so much better than it did. He said that it will go flat fairly quickly until it has stabilized. He only charged the base tuning price even though he spent quite some on it. We will have him back in 6 months to keep it "Up To Pitch".
