    In addition to a poor repair, the inspection process was not thorough. After showing the piano to another technician, he played the piano and immediately mentioned that the feel of the keys were off. He pointed out the bridle straps (cords) are all broken. We paid David $150 to inspect this preowned piano prior to purchase, as I have no knowledge on piano inspections. To my dismay, he didn't even catch this. Had he told us this, we could have used this information to negotiate the price of the piano down. Knowledge is power. He also charged a $115 tuning fee, tested the piano and didn't notice that the keys felt off and that the cords were all broken. For someone with so much experience and had two opportunities to inspect this piano, David didn't even tell us about the broken cords. The technician we hired mentioned this the first time he looked at the piano. He also noticed the pitch was off. This technician also pointed out that the serial number didn't look authentic to the issue date. The piano was manufactured at an older date than what was presented. The Yamaha logo in the front is a decal. None of this was mentioned during the $150 inspection. For a piano expert, we are surprised none of this was communicated. Complete fail on attention to detail.

    You can clearly see the G has now fallen bellow the other jeys. This was not a problem when I requested a tuning

    This man completely failed to tune my piano. Not only that, but as the photo shows, he actually lost me a key. Absolutely no spring from this key after he left. First time he 'tuned', I heard no difference. He didn't even take the frame apart. The 2nd time David was a bit perturbed he had to return . I pointed out the problem and left him to his 'job'. No wonder bc he is not trained nor does he have a license. The piano was not out of tune to begin with. I just happen to maintain with a tune-up every other year. Now I will have to pay 3x the amount charged: $115.00 due to the 'damage' he created. I wouldnot recommend him.

    David Hong is awesome. Literally analyzed the piano like a doctor analyzes his patients. He let me know the strings were out of tune and needed to be adjusted. He had a tool that went over each note, checking the sound. It was pretty cool to watch. He improved the quality as it was when it was first purchased. By the way, when he was playing music, I thought to myself, "Why isn't this man in the orchestra business in a show business for a whole world to see?!" He played so wonderfully that I was jaw dropped listening to such beautiful classical music. Literally a dreamscape beauty of a music! Anyways holla at him if you need your piano fixed! He's good and will bring value to your piano to another whole level!

    David is an amazing piano enthusiast! He fixed our old Yamaha Disklavier machine from the 90s after a floppy disk of Christmas music got stuck inside. Very reliable & experienced, can't recommend his service enough!

    I was looking for a used Yamaha U3 for our desert home in Rancho Mirage, but the logistics felt…read moreoverwhelming. With the distance and the variability in quality between instruments, I wasn't sure how I could realistically try multiple pianos without driving all over Southern California. Fortunately, Kim's Piano made the process incredibly easy. They have a huge inventory of Yamaha pianos, and I worked with Steve Rivera, who was responsive, knowledgeable, and very fair throughout. He helped me narrow down several strong options over email before I made the trip to their Stanton warehouse. When I finally went in, I brought along a piano technician to evaluate the instrument I selected. He was also impressed with both the quality of the piano and the breadth of their inventory. I ended up purchasing a 1971 Yamaha U3 that plays and looks like new. I couldn't be happier with the quality, value, and overall experience. Steve was patient and helpful every step of the way. I highly recommend Kim's Piano to anyone looking for a high-quality instrument at a fair price, backed by excellent service.

    I had such a positive experience with Ben in transporting my piano all the way from Northern…read moreCalifornia down to OC. Not only did they transport it safely but I also had Ben do some restoration and fixing of the piano because it had been left unplayed for years. The piano now looks and sounds great and is ready to be played by my daughter and wife. Thank you Ben for the excellent customer service!
