    Bought a used Yamaha U1 a year ago and have been thrilled with it. While shopping around visited…read moresome well known Boston retailers such as Steinert, Williams, and while I had great experiences with them as well, I knew I was in the right place when I visited East Cambridge Piano. The building is not what you would expect, they are located on the third floor of an old building that almost feels more like a warehouse, I didn't think I had even found the right place at first. Prior to my visit, I would never have considered a used piano. However, the models they have are in absolutely mint condition, sound fantastic, and were all hand picked. It's clear the folks that work here are craftsmen and while they are very easy going they take what they do seriously. Felt very secure that I was getting a great product, and I did. Incredibly laid back environment, none of the nonsensical typical pretense you might find buying an instrument like this. I felt like I could have just hung out in there for a few hours. James answered all of my questions and then basically said "have at it, play whatever you want and let me know if you have any more questions". Zero pressure. They are coming out next week to do a tuning which was included with the purchase. I had to reschedule but James could not have been more accommodating. Go see this guy and buy a piano from him.

    James the owner is a peach! We rented a baby grand from East Cambridge Piano for a fundraiser…read moreconcert and needed him to tune a second piano. He came in with the best price and the bonus was that he knew the guys at the venue we were using and was able to coordinate timing with them. Yay! I definitely recommend him for your piano needs. Plus he is a Berklee grad!

    Had a very nice exchange and series of conversations with Natan from Falcetti which lead to a…read morepurchase. Highly recommend.

    An experience of high quality from start to finish. Having visited a number of show-rooms in…read moreseveral states on my piano search, I feel that Falcetti's provided excellent service that I cannot help but recommend to others. Here is why. *Pre-Purchase* The instruments in Falcetti Pianos showroom are in consistently excellent regulation, voicing and tuning (this consistency is not present in other showrooms I visited in various states). Making an appointment was easy and once there I was able to take my time with the instruments, alone in the showroom. On his own initiative, Conner even turned off the AC to create a listening environment to get to know each instrument's nuance. The opportunity to really LISTEN this way is itself worth the price of entry. I found the staff at Falcettis to be more like resources and less like sales-people: they gave me generous time and space to get to know the instruments without any sort of pressure. When I had questions, Conner and Jake were quite knowledgeable, and I feel I learned from them. *Purchase* When I found a pre-owned instrument with which I feel in love, I was offered the opportunity to place a fully refundable deposit to hold the instrument while I visited other showrooms and played other pianos. Again, no pressure. Once I was certain that this instrument was for me, Conner was extremely helpful not just in arranging the purchase but also in helping me source an artist bench at an incredible price, arranging to move my current instrument at no additional cost and arranging a tech to come and re-install a Dampp-Chaser humidity system (that we use as a sort of humidity insurance along with ambient humidification) at no additional cost. At each turn, I was met with generosity and a helpfulness that turned what could easily have become a cumbersome, complex process with many moving parts into something that was, simply, easy. *Move* The moving team communicated in a timely way, was timely (they completed their work ahead of schedule) and, again, made the entire operation easy. Omar, Falcetti's tech who came to reinstall the humidity system on the new instrument was excellent. Timely, did excellent work. A pleasure to work with him. Overall: I am so happy, and thankful, to start what I am certain will be a long-term relationship with Falcetti Pianos.

    Doug has tuned my baby grand piano several times with no problem but the last time he tuned it, I…read morenoticed after a few days that the soft pedal was detached from the piano. Since I only play it occasionally, I did not notice it. For some dumb reason, I didn't contact him about it. I recently contacted him to tune it again. After several days, he responded and we set up a day and time. I waited all day for him and he did not show up. I called him and texted him but he never responded. Very very unprofessional and he broke my piano.

    As a gift, we hired Doug to tune the piano of a relative. The piano had been moved to a new…read moreresidence over a decade ago, and hadn't been tuned since. It sounded 'off' and we knew it was time to have this addressed. I contacted Doug via email giving him specifics on location and piano type and asking for a 'ball park' cost to tune. He replied about an hour later to let me know the usual price to tune is one hundred seventy five dollars, and informed me that if a piano has not been tuned in a very long time, it may require a second tuning to get back into proper pitch. He also made clear if it were in need of repair that would be an additional cost. Prior to tuning, he does an inspection of the instrument to determine the state of hammers, strings and so on after which he is able to give an accurate quote. He also let me know the fee for this inspection and his time is ninety five dollars should we decide at that time to not move forward with the tuning. If we did move forward, the cost of the inspection is included with the tuning fee. We scheduled a time to meet him at our relatives home. He called about a quarter hour before the planned appointment time to let us know he was a little behind schedule, and arrived about 30 minutes later. He was professionally dressed, carrying his tools, wearing a mask. After quick introductions, he headed straight to the piano. There were many questions asked, and he answered them all and seemed to enjoy the conversation. During the inspection he found the piano be 1/2 pitch out of tune and would need to be tuned twice. The first time to correct the pitch and 2 - 3 weeks later, a second tuning to assure accuracy of pitch. During the tuning process, one of the base strings broke. He let us know the cost of a new string is fifty dollars and the cost of installation is seventy five. We ordered a new string through him and he let us know once the string was manufactured and in his hands he would contact us to schedule the install and second tuning. The entire process took about one hour. As he came to us, the round trip, plus work done, was around 3 hours of his time. Playing the piano after that first tuning was a huge improvement. After about six weeks of not hearing from Doug, I sent him an email asking if the new string was in hand, would he please give a call when convenient to schedule the install. He responded within 4 hours (on New Years Day) and called next day to schedule. We were not present during the installation and second tuning, but all went well. Our relative plays for pleasure, not a professional and although the cost to tune a piano twice and install a new string was costly, we feel it is worth the expense. Especially during this time of pandemic, creating moments to enjoy yourself is high on the list of priorities. Doug is a professional businessman, knowledgeable about his chosen career and we are satisfied with his services as rendered.
