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.

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.

I was looking for a secondhand baby grand piano on a limited budget and needed expert advice before…read moremaking a purchase. I reached out for a consultation, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Laura, the piano technician, is a true perfectionist. She examined every detail of the piano, pointed out a small crack near the lowest key, explained the potential impact, and advised me on a fair price. Her insights were invaluable. I appreciated how she was understanding and patient. She emphasized that I, as the owner, should love the sound of the piano. Also, as it was quite a big purchase for me, I couldn't make a decision. She patiently advised me that either way was fine. This interaction with her made me love my piano more after I purchased. After I bought it (negotiating the price based on her recommendation), I had her tune it about a month after the move to allow the piano to settle. The piano hadn't been tuned in over five years, so many keys were flat, and some were even sticking. She meticulously went through each key, ensuring everything was perfectly adjusted. I've had pianos tuned before, but this was by far the most thorough tuning I've ever seen. She is timely, professional, kind, and deeply knowledgeable. I'm incredibly grateful for her work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for piano consultation or tuning!

I've worked with many tuners over the years who just came in and did their thing and left. Ben is different. He's very good at listening and is the first tuner that I've encountered that understands that the relationship between musician and tuner is a collaborative endeavor. He knows how to tailor his work to my specific needs. Although he comes from a percussionist background his ear is impeccable. The other thing that is noteworthy about Ben is that he doesn't rush through and actually checks his work. The Portland area is lucky to have Ben around to meet the needs of the community. I highly recommend him.

He was careful and considerate of the condition of the piano yet gave it a thorough work up and tuning. He was honest about the issues we would have with the piano and how best to resolve or at least deal with them until we can get a newer piano. Mark was kind and easy to work with. He even gave my piano playing kids a mini lesson in the history of the piano and showed them how it works. I will definitely use him again to tune any piano we have in the future.

I left messages with several places, but Concord was the only company to return my call (and that same day). The lady on the phone was kind and answered all my questions. I was quickly given an appointment for that same week. The gentalman who came to tune my piano was right on time. He was a very kind and knowledgeable piano expert.

I have purchased two instruments from Portland Piano in the last 3 years…read more Before I purchased, I had no piano, and the owner Mitch would let me come in and play on the pianos for my own enjoyment, even though I couldn't afford one at the time. I purchased a Kawaii digital CA78 while I lived in an apartment (an amazing instrument). Two years later I traded it in to purchase a Mason and Hamlin grand. Portland piano credited me 100% of the value for the Kawaii, even though it was 2 years old. The sales man found me the right grand piano, after letting me play most of the pianos there. His input was immensely helpful. When it was delivered I was unsure of what, if any bench would come with it as we hadn't discussed and I didn't pay for one. I was overjoyed when it was delivered with professional fully adjustable cushioned bench. This week I reached out to Mitch to get tuner recommendations, and instead he is having a tuner contact me, and covering the cost. Even when there were some financing mixups, they were immediately corrected with help from Brenda in accounting. In the end, great company, great people. When it's time to upgrade to my 9 ft Fazioli grand I know where I'll be going. Thank you to Mitch, Park, Brenda, and Portland Piano for helping me find my instrument.
