The Little Orchestra Piano Tuning and Rebuilding Shop is one of the best service businesses I have…read moreever worked with, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! I called several piano shops in the area for a quote on a very small repair and was shocked by the prices. Some companies insisted that I needed a full service package with tuning included, even though that wasn't what I needed or wanted. Then I found Britney. She was honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful from the very beginning. She quickly identified the problem, repaired exactly what was wrong in about 15 minutes, and charged a very reasonable fee--far less than what I had been led to expect by other shops. What impressed me most was that Britney took the time to answer all of our questions and never tried to sell us services we didn't need. It's rare to find someone with this level of integrity, expertise, and customer care. If you're looking for a piano technician who is skilled, trustworthy, fair, and genuinely cares about her customers, look no further than The Little Orchestra Piano Tuning and Rebuilding Shop. We will absolutely use them again and will recommend them to all our family and friends!

Oh, my goodness. What a pleasure it was to work with Little Orchestra…read more Little Orchestra was a delight, from start to finish. What I Loved: --Online scheduling. --Clearly laid out pricing. --No "up selling" of services. --No judgement about my (alas) very out of tune piano. Such a contrast against our previous (also highly rated) piano tuner. I cannot recommend Little Orchestra highly enough.

So I found a great piano tuner (Jaid Smith) that agreed to tune my piano to this frequency. He was very intrigued and did not give me a hundred reasons why this was impractical. Well I love the sound and the 1960's Baldwin grand piano didn't mind it at all. Jaid was very thorough in cleaning out the piano and readjusting the registers. This may be the only 432 hz piano in Portland but there may be other musicians out there that have researched the benefits of this tuning. I highly recommend Jaid for this or just standard tuning.

Symphony No. 2: Trading in my piano…read more I had purchased a 1930's Knabe grand from Portland Piano in 2012. It's served me well, but totally needs to be rebuilt, and I don't want to spend my cash on that. On top of that, I've downsized via divorce and it's been in storage for about a year. All this time, I'm reviewing pianos and all of my options. I'm an old-school, classically-trained pianist. In the past, I have never been impressed with digital pianos. But knowing my footprint and not wanting to annoy the neighbors, I'm thinking I need to have a silencer in place. The after-market products that you can put on an acoustic is one thing, but after having gone down from a grand piano to an upright footprint, I'm not really crazy about getting "an upright." So I look into Kawai Novus 10S and compare it with the Yamaha AvantGrand N1X. These are upright sized digital pianos with a very real feel and sound to them. Look up the technology if you're interested, it's prettt cool. I can't really figure out why the Kawai is 8k more. Both are stunning in terms of action, feel and audio quality. Both feel like their brand... Kawai is warm and yielding, Yamaha is more quick and bright. Both have great tone. Some people love one over the other, but to me, they are comparable in touch and sound quality. I don't see 8k more worth of it in the Kawai. Also. Take a look at the case on the Kawai vs Yamaha. Yamaha has a much more clean, sleek look. Kawai just looks...heavy...visually. Of course, Portland Piano is willing to take my piano as trade in and sell me the Novus. They aren't Yamaha dealers. When I am telling the salesperson I really wanted to get into a Yamaha N1X, it was a better price, they had a few choices... lower the price on the Kawai to make it worth my business, or... not. Salesperson pinged me to tell me about a hot Clavinova they got in on consignment. Obviously she doesn't know her pianos very well, if a customer is looking for something like a 10S or N1X, and they call all pushy about a Clavinova. Portland Piano did not do much of anything to retain me as a customer, so I called over to Classic Pianos. Not only did I not get the runaround, they offered me a trade-in, sight unseen, along with a swift purchase over the phone. When the salesperson said it might take a bit because they have to ship it in, imagine my happiness when they called just a few days later to schedule delivery. Delivery went well, and I love my new piano. I hope it's this easy again with my next trade-in. Thanks, Taylor and team!

Over the years I have worked with several tuners, but none of them is as conscientious as John. I have had tuners tune my piano in an hour. The last time John was here, he spent 2 1/2 hours--and not because he's slow. He's just incredibly meticulous and a perfectionist. Although I have never needed more extensive work done, I understand from those who have had John do major work on their pianos, that they are extremely happy with their rebuilds. That doesn't surprise me at all. I wouldn't have anyone else work on my pianos.
