It is for good reason Brani receives stellar reviews: he is a master at his craft. On a cold, rainy…read moreafternoon, he spent nearly two hours diligently tuning my piano, during which he would play to listen to the quality, then make adjustments. The result was nothing less than fabulous. He even cleaned the keys. Listening to this man play, alone, would have been well worth the cost of his tuning, but if you need your piano tuned, rest assured this master will do an excellent job. Icing on the cake: of course he was masked, but he also brought protective shoes covers to be certain he did not track anything into my home. He is charming, articulate, and an absolute expert at what he does. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I am relieved to know he is out there should my piano need any work in the future. Needless to say, I am a devoted fan, and I would love to attend any performance in which he might perform.

I visited the San Francisco gallery recently and it was like checking out a museum.

If you're if the market for the best sounding piano, it's got to be a Steinway!

She has offered us a great price and even one-day shipping for my piano. The aftersales service are fantastic. We had questions about our piano and she replied immediately. We have not expected that she will answer our question even during the weekends. She is so kind that she uses her own time trying to find the answer to my questions. I would highly recommend that you check out this store and the amazing services.

The floor had all of the upright and grand models we were interested in; Chris gave us plenty of time to explore them. He also plays beautifully, and was able to bring out the differences in various models. We had some issues with delivery of the piano, to include the states of its initial arrival. Those were beyond the direct control of San Mateo Piano, but they were very responsive and reasonable in finding timely resolutions. Ultimately we are quite happy with our purchase, and would readily buy from San Mateo Piano again.

Exceptional! I had…read moresomeone break one of the pedals on my piano. Granted it was a older model so I was doubtful anyone would help. I turned to google/yelp to call around to see if anyone would assist. I called over 10 people but this location stood out! I called and the phone was answered by Andrew. Gave him the specifics of the piano and he was very knowledgable. He also confirmed that the pedal is no longer being manufactured by the company because of its age. He asked for my name and number and maybe he called a warehouse, supervisor or friend I don't know and called me back within 30 mins to re affirm my dillema. The reason for this 5 star review is the customer service. I didn't even spend a dollar in this establishment but they employed a empathetic patient employee that was able to go above and beyond to help. It's so rare in today's climate, personally I feel like everyone is rushing you off the phone and not truly listening to people's concerns. When I get a new piano I will definitely use this piano service!

My goal was to be better at singing which was always something I enjoyed doing at amateur karaoke with my friends and though I have no other musical talent whatsoever, my vocal coach Christina Stogsdill makes these lessons so fun and easy to learn for a music newbie like me. She encourages me to let loose and though I always enter a lesson a bit nervous, I always leave it relaxed, refreshed, and confident, as if I've let my inner "singing diva" out and am now singing in ways I didn't know was possible for me. If you're looking to get the same feeling, I would highly recommend Christina and this studio!
