Still have to pay by check. Tuning is not the absolute best I have ever had (those were the Steinway tuners), but it is good for my purposes (hobby playing, not professional), and certainly there are many worse tuners out there. Was referred to them by a friend who has a rented a piano from them for several years with no issue. Have never tried their moving services. Had 2 tunings with them so far and plan to continue using them.

They sell pianos at Klavierhaus, but they also host performances featuring the most accomplished pianists of this day. Klavierhaus hosts performances, this time via Salon Concerts and I was fortunate to catch the 50th Anniversary performance by seven remarkable pianists in their own respects of Keith Jarrett's Koeln Concert. It was a smooth reservation process and everyone who attended was in for something very special. Seating is simple and there is nothing fancy at Klavierhaus. It's all about good acoustics in an intimate setting allowing the audience to be up close to the performers unlike any other performance hall. Truly remarkable. I can only take away a half stars for the simple seating, but that is what makes hearing and experiencing performances at Klavierhaus so special. You will never hear a world class performance like this so informally and intimately. Four and a half stars!

I bought a piano that had been completely restored for over $50.000…read more While they did an amazing job of the refinish, including beautiful carvings and oil paintings on it, the rebuild was a joke. For example, holes for bridge pins weren't equally spaced, which leads to buzzing. Sloppy work thorughout. I've been spending a fortune with workarounds. When they replaced the dampers on this 57" upright, rather than put in ones appropriate for the size of the piano, they put tiny ones in best suited for spinets. While it's been a long time since the work was done, these are defects in their workmanship.

From the moment I stepped into the store, to the piano delivery, your company treated me like I was truly valued and my piano rental was important. I was a bit worried the piano might look worn or have scratches. Sarah assured me it would look new, and it does. For a 5' grand, this Weber really has a great sound in my home. A shout out also to the 2 movers, who took time and care setting up the instrument and patiently arranged the piano (and its wheels) at just the right angle. I would give you TEN STARS if I could.

Throughout the whole communication process Eddie was always available and responsive. They came very early on the wedding day to complete their setup to make sure all of their equipment was working okay. I knew from conversations with Eddie that he has handled many large events and weddings before so it was a great feeling having zero concerns on our wedding day. The energy they brought to the reception hall was unreal and I can't believe they know how to perform such a great amount of songs. It's been a few months now but our guests still can't stop talking about their performance and how we had the best music of any wedding they have ever been to. NYNY Dueling Pianos truly made our wedding memorable not only for us, but for our guests. Thank you Eddie and team!!

We have always had the best experience, but I wanted to give a shout out to Justice, who went above and beyond with her service. The middle pedal on our upright Steinway was not really working (it hadn't since we could remember). Justice offered to come a second time a few days later with some special tools to fix the pedal, even though this had not been budgeted or planned. Justice was also super sweet with our teenage daughter, who was genuinely interested in watching Justice work on her piano to understand how it is done. Justice not only was fine with it, but she also patiently explain to our daughter about every step of the process. That musical connection and "intellectual" exchange made my daughter's day. Thank you!

Justice did a perfect job. Polite, on time, and effective. Careful and thorough. Thank you!read more

As a dutiful Asian daughter, I grew up taking piano lessons but had always harbored secret…read morefantasies of learning the guitar instead... Not so much the on-stage rock star fantasy so much as playing Kumbayah to a circle of friends around a campfire (I know, my ambitions are huge). Anyways, with the advent of financial independence came the realization that I could indeed, pay for and take whatever music lessons I wanted. Guitar New York is conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, so I'm able to take lessons on weekday morning before strolling over to the office (my co-workers think I have a weekly doctor's appointment every Tuesday morning). I've been taking lessons with Troy for a few months now, and I think he is an awesome teacher.* I was an absolute novice who had never HELD a guitar in her life, so he taught me from the ground up. I find he's super versatile in his knowledge of instruments, music theory, styles, you got it. To be honest, I was never a music prodigy as a child, and apparently it's not something you acquire with age. What makes Troy truly awesome (and the only reason I'm not giving up on this hapless venture) is that he is extremely patient and easy-going. I'm sure he has pupils who are far more dedicated and experienced than I am, but I'm grateful that he's spending his talent listening to me pluck out an off-kilter rendition of something that is supposed to sound like "Knockin on Heaven's Door." He's a good teacher, lessons progress quickly, and he sympathizes with all of my guitar woes. Lessons come out to ~$45 / 30-minute lesson, but they have discounts for package purchases and beginners. Anyways, if you've ever remotely entertained the idea of guitar, give GNY a shot - it's unanimously rated 5 stars for a reason. * I plan on linking Troy this review later, so in the interest of laying it on thick (and potentially scoring some free lessons later on) I will also say that he is insanely intelligent, funny, and good-looking.

We say goodbye, and you say hello…read more.. Ah, the windy city is losing one of our finest to NY. I have been fortunate enough to benefit from Troy's tutelage as one of the rock masters of Guitar Chicago. Now as you all know, I am akin to see the world through the lens of Beatles. Maybe that's not your bag, baby. Maybe you see the world through the lens of jazz, or Rush, or Blondie, or funk, or ELO, or BB King, or (gag) Creed. No matter. These are the Troy Truths: 1. Whatever song/style you want to learn, he will teach you. And make it seem effortless. This guy's a pro. Not like Marge Simpson "I just have to stay one lesson ahead of the student". He has quite the impressive resume coupled with crazy talent. I've seen this guy in action; trust me. 2. He'll not only teach you that song or style, he'll give you the "why" behind what you're doing. He teaches in-depth music theory, so you really understand how it's all put together. Pretty cool for the music student on the search for enlightenment. (PS- he writes legible notes, which is a rare gem in the music world for some reason) 3. Not content with just playing what somebody else created? With his theory fundamentals and technique instruction you will be creating your own music lickety-split. And isn't that what the veteran student is all about? Maybe, like my husband, you've got years of guitar under your belt, but just need that extra boost. Well, here you go. (Get confident, stupid!) Anyhoo, Troy will be missed here in Chicago. Best wishes to Troy and Guitar New York. Hello- o- o... Hey la, hey helloah...
