I called Greg to tune up my Kawaii upright grand. It needs tuning about every 2 years and my last tuner wasn't available, so I searched reviews and Greg sounded like a good option. He made an appointment for about a week later. It took him less than 1.5 hours to get it sounding great again! He has a good ear and relies on it with minimal use of technology. Very personable. $200 well spent. read more

I've had Greg service my piano twice in 1 month. One for tuning, one for cleaning moth warm infestation - both times he was incredibly kind, helpful and informative. What I was quoted is what I was charged. I've already recommended him to 2 other people- his prices can't be beat compared to the other companies I was originally looking into. This is the guy for your piano! read more

Very happy with Greg and plan on using him indefinitely to tune my 1967 Sohmer parlor grand piano. First time I worked with Greg, was when he met me out at a storage facility in Fresno where I was looking at the piano before I purchased it. He came out, set up the piano which needed to have legs put back on so I could sit and play it to make sure I liked it. I decided to go with it and he loaded it up and hauled it to Visalia for me same day. He also did a full clean and tuning and I have already had him back for regular tuning. He also had to fix squeaking pedals as well as a key that wasn't sitting right on the strings. He is very knowledgable, creative in solving any piano issue I have run into so far and fun to work with! read more

The guy moved my piano in a U-Haul, He charged me $100 more than he quoted me, and wouldn't take credit cards. He charged me $500 to move a piano 20 miles after he quoted me "under $400" the previous day on the phone, and he stated it included tuning and cleaning. Once he got here he wasn't straight with the price. I kept asking him how much it was to tune it... since it was NOT included like he stated it was. He wouldn't give me a straight price, until after he left he said it's on the form and it turns out it's an additional $350 for him to come back and tune it. He was very defensive and agitated. He left his dirty finger prints and smudges all over it, and when I asked him what I should use to clean off his fingerprints he said a damp rag which did not work. I couldn't believe he charged me $500 to move it and left his greasy fingerprints all over it! WOW! Very unprofessional! read more

Greg brought my beautiful 20+ year old piano back to life. His musical and tuning expertise is impeccable. My Yamaha never sounded so good! It was a blessing meeting such a patience and talented professional with a good heart. Thank you Greg for your attention to detail and excellence and taking pride in a job well done! read more

Greg is great! He's the only person I've ever had tune my piano in Fresno because, after they first tuning in 2014, I knew I could trust him. You will need to be a bit flexible with scheduling since he's often doing other tunings the same day, and those can run late if they're complicated, but that isn't a concern for me because it means he's doing each job right. Greg is attentive, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and always able to make my piano sing! As someone who has played piano for 33 years, I know when a piano is in good condition and tuned well. Greg helps me keep my piano in top playing shape. I highly recommend him! read more

Here was my experience with Greg: First appointment: He showed up almost 4 hours late to the first appointment that was to tune and look at our piano. He repeatedly sad he was "on his way," but it kept getting later and later. He convinced us to get a full cleaning because he found dead moth larva that he tried to say were alive. We did it anyway because we knew our piano hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Appointment two he was on time and had his assistant finish the cleaning. We then set up an appointment for him to replace some treble strings that were broken two weeks later. Appointment three he sent a message 15 minutes before he was supposed to arrive about how his wife was making him breakfast and he was walking his dog and he would let us know when he could make it. He then showed up at 12pm for a 10am appointment. He called before trying to get out of the appointment saying he wouldn't be able to finish the job anymore but I told him to come and get done what he could. He took off the strings but then left without saying anything and left our piano disassembled in our living room with the action blocking access to our kitchen. I called him and messaged him for an explanation and it took him days to respond. I then had to beg him to come and put our piano back together because we had people coming over. A week later he put it back together and then said in two weeks he would come and finish the job. Two weeks later I messaged him to set up an appointment to finish the job. I texted him almost everyday for 7 days and he finally responded and said he could not finish the job and recommended another person to do it. He said he had done $200 worth of pre-work on the strings even though on the receipt he estimated his labor as $150 for the strings. Greg is unreliable and will not respect your time or you as a customer. He won't respect the appointments he schedules with you and if you need multiple visits I wouldn't trust him at all to get the job done. He will push for you to do the full cleaning no matter what and he will "underestimate" his labor so you think he will give you a deal. In all of this he never apologized for his actions and just made excuses and has not responded to my messages. read more

I've been using Greg for years and he always goes above and beyond the job. He's moved my piano both in town and now a few hours away. If you want it done right, call Greg. read more

As the not recommended review by Ns L. says below, even a single star is too generous. Book him for a tuning, and then waste a month and a half trying reach him to finish the job. For two of the scheduled "appointments" he was late over 2 hours. For one appointment he was late 3 hours with poor excuses, like walking a dog. By the end of our "transaction" or whatever you call it, we did get a tuning and 16 strings removed that were never replaced. He never came back to finish the job and ignored my messages. If you care about your piano and time, I don't recommend All Action Piano. read more

My piano hadn't been tuned in years and Greg made it sound great again. He is knowledgeable and very thorough and I learned a lot through the process. He was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely use him again. read more

Greg is simply the best guy for any of your piano services and needs. He has helped us move our upright grand piano twice now, and both moves were extremely well organized and efficient while keeping our piano safe and secure. What I appreciate the most about Greg is that he is genuinely all about saving you money and preventing you from needing to pay for major restoration expenses if you can avoid them. My husband and I had Greg come over to tune our piano this month and during this process, he took the time to show my husband how to take our piano apart and clean it for dust and woodworms and mites, all free of charge. The tuning process was THOROUGH and now our piano sounds like new. I said it once and I'll say it again, Greg is the guy you need to hire for your piano services. Thank you Greg! read more

Greg is fantastic Piano Tuner!! He is polite, professional and finished in a timely manner. I would recommend All Action Piano to any and all piano owners. He moved my piano to Las Vegas and before he left made sure It was tuned to perfection. I have been Greg's customer for over 15 years never have I had complaint or hesitation about whether he can get the job done. read more

Whatever skills Greg has as a tuner, they are lost as a piano mover. Greg was hired to move our 1890 Chickering Grand Piano to Madera to be refurbished. In the process he dropped it causing over $2,000 in damages. When he failed to acknowledge the damages I had to file small claims action. We had our day in court where he literally lied his ass off. At first he acknowledged responsibility but stated that he "meticulously" repaired the damage. All other damage was pre-existing. He stated that he had insurance but when I submitted the claim, it was denied. I found our after the fact that he did not have any insurance. He further blamed the accident on the drive approach to the repair shop in Madera, that it was downhill and uneven and was the cause. Next that he used the wrong sized skidboard and that, also, was someone else's fault. My "victory" was a hollow one. The judgement was for about 10% of the damages. Overall, he blamed anyone else he could to skate out from his responsibility. Definitely not a mover that I could ever recommend. My only caveat, use him to move your piano at your own risk. read more

Greg has always done an amazing job when it comes to maintaining our pianos! We would never trust them to anyone else!

BEST!! Greg tuned and cleaned our baby grand Yamaha piano and made it look and sound like it was new again. Our piano has not sounded this great since we first purchased it. Greg is super professional, honest and is by far the best talent in central California. Although he has extensive experience tuning, cleaning and working with pianos, his fees are incredibly reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend Greg to all piano owners. read more

I was SO happy with the service I received from Greg Stainthorp. He moved a large, very old piano from Fresno to Sacramento for me today. He was professional, very careful, provided good advice, and went above and beyond. If you have a piano to move to or from Fresno, this is your guy! read more
