I used Jacobsen Transfer to move my Knabe 6'4" mahogany grand piano out of my house to a piano…read morere-builder. They had to bring it down an outside double stairway, one stairway very narrow and steep. I have moved this piano three times before, both in New York City and then across the country. I last brought it into my house thirty years ago, and I know the weight and difficulty first hand as the original movers back then showed up with only two men. I had to assemble some neighbors to assist and bring it up the same stairs into the house. There were five of us, all untrained, yet we somehow made it. This time, Jacobsen correctly had the five men as needed, as well as the proper tools and clearly the experience to ensure the safe descent. It was like watching a well choreographed team as they worked together with singular guidance to bring it down to street level without a hitch. If I ever bring in another piano, I know who I'll call on again. Also note that we had to reschedule the job a few times due to wet weather, but they would not risk the move unless they could ensure a safe environment as well as having enough men for the job. While some lighter pianos could be moved with fewer hands, they well knew the size and weight of my piano required five and wouldn't attempt without, nor would they add any risk that might be caused by inclement weather; exactly the right protocols. Hats off to a great company and the team, and much thanks to all.

Over the years both major and minor repairs have been needed. Mr. Klein was always very prompt and the estimates of the work needed are very accurate. Even for a larger job, such as regulating my piano, Mr. Klein did an amazing job and the piano sounds like a dream. The regulating was a multi day job, and Mr. Klein always let my piano and home put back together at the end of each day. I know Mr. Klein is well versed many different styles of pianos, as I have referred him to many friends, with antique pianos of varying types and of the highest value. Mr. Klein does much work for concert and profession events too, as he has fascinating stories to tell. If you want your piano to sound it's best, and to hold it's tune, I would highly recommend Mr,. Klein.

He could have charged me for a new string but instead gave me a cheap and easy fix so that we can still enjoy it for as long as we can, until we can afford to get the piano fixed/ buy a new piano. He only charged me for his time which was so kind, and my piano sounds beautiful again because I followed his advice. Definitely recommend!

Jian Min was responsive and professional. He showed up on time and did a good job…read more As my piano hadn't been tuned in a long time, he provided the option of a longer one time tuning or two separate tuning sessions one month apart. Given that the price difference was minimal and that it would have been easier for him to do a single session instead of coming here twice, I appreciate that he recommended the separate sessions to give the piano time to settle before subsequent fine tuning. He also recommended an in-piano dehumidifier as my location is very humid (which is true) and there are visible signs of moisture damage inside the piano. I appreciate that he informed me of this, but without being pushy about it.

Those were beyond the direct control of San Mateo Piano, but they were very responsive and reasonable in finding timely resolutions.
