Emanuil is THE BEST Piano Technician I have ever had service my piano! He was able to take an older…read morefamily piano I grew up on and rework the entire regulation, voicing and action to breathe new life into my treasured instrument. Pianos don't always age well without proper care, however, Emanuil not only "revived" my piano but set me up to be able to maintain my instrument for the long run. He explained the tuning process and took the time to not only begin with an initial tuning, but planned follow-up tunings and service, which is a necessary part of restoring and stabilizing a piano's intonation, especially after it hasn't been regularly serviced for quite some time. His rates are fair for the high level of service he provides and his years of training and experience as a piano technician. Emanuil's experience is evident and he clearly has a love for what he does and it shows in his work. It's no wonder he is a highly sought after Piano Technician in the area!

Excellent! Tuned my long-neglected piano beautifully and at a very good price. Highly recommend!read more

It looked like a good deal, but we did not know how difficult it would be to restore it. Mr. Boring went with my husband and it was clear from the moment he touched that piano that he was an expert craftsman. He was able to conduct a thorough review of all the working parts and gave us an estimate for moving, cleaning, restoring, and tuning. To make a long story short, he took a piano that had many challenges and worked his magic so that we now have a baby grand piano in our house that looks and sounds beautiful. Mr. Boring is not only an excellent craftsman, he is also an honest businessman. The price he quoted was the price we paid. He showed up when he said he would meet us. He completed the job in a very timely manner. We give him our highest recommendation for honesty, care, and great skill. Plus he is a very nice person!

This is the place to go in the DMV if you're looking for a new Yamaha piano…read more We were first-time piano buyers looking for a new U1. From what I read online, most piano dealers will quote an MSRP or "SMP (suggested maximum price)" with the expectation that you will haggle down the price. We went to our local Yamaha dealer [not Downtown Piano Works] and met with a sales associate recommended by our piano teacher. His first offer was already less than MSRP: I'm terrible at haggling, but I figured I'd try anyway and ask for a better price. A day later, he came back with another $500 off the price. I was feeling pretty good about myself and was getting ready to go to the store before his "offer expired." On a whim, minutes before I left, I thought I'd try the next closest Yamaha dealer, which happened to be Downtown Piano Works. I typed a chat message into their website, expecting a canned AI answer. Instead, Dan, the owner, responded right away. He told me to call him on his cell phone, and without hearing the other store's "lowest" price, he quoted a price that was $1500 less. There was no haggling, no wondering if I was getting a worse deal than everyone else on the internet. We drove with the kids an hour to Frederick just to make sure this wasn't too good to be true, and it wasn't. Dan and Theresa opened their store on a Saturday night, three hours after I'd first messaged their website. By the time we left, we were the owners of a new Yamaha U1. If you're in the market for a new Yamaha acoustic piano, within driving distance of Frederick, and want to avoid the usual stress of new piano shopping, I'd definitely try clicking chat on their website.
