We have deep respect for the craft, skill, and experience required to keep pianos in top shape. Thomson Piano Works is who we trust to work on our instruments. Dave Thomson replaced the hammers and regulated the action on my Steinway M and essentially gave the instrument a new lease on life. We have called on him to tune our pianos over the past several years and plan to continue having him maintain our pianos. I highly recommend Dave Thomson for his ability, sensitivity, and professionalism.

I've been playing the piano since childhood and no, it's not cuz my parents are Asian. I've always…read moreenjoyed it. Yesterday, my daughter REALLY wanted me to teach her how to play but my piano hadn't been tuned in like 20 years. Plus, it was involved in a rough move over 10 years ago. So last night, I searched for a local tuner with good reviews and found this business in town run by Michael Gopenko. Like an asshole, I texted him at 9:30pm but he actually responded right away with details including his prices ($140 for a regular tuning, $210 for a double tuning) and offered to show up at my house at noon the next day. Today, though he was running a little late, he notified me before the appointment. When he arrived, he tested a couple keys against a tuning fork and had me notice that it was really jacked which was the case for all the keys and that I needed a double tuning. I left him to do his thing and he finished within an hour. He asked me to test it out by playing a couple of songs and wow- they sounded like they should! Super recommended! NOTES/TIPS: **Clean off your piano of all sheet music, pictures, and everything else before he arrives. **He accepts cash or check+tax. **During the covid crisis, he arrives wearing a mask and gloves but will take them off with your permission to have an easier time working.

Piano tuner for a great price!! If you live in Springfield only $110 base. But I lived in…read morePlainfield so it was $115 base price. I really liked him because he walked me through everything he was doing. Also my piano was VERY UNLOVED. It had gummy keys, thick layer of dust, and many pieces of random stuff inside. It was much lower than the standard note so my piano would require double tuning, which is twice the costs because it would need another visit. However, he said if I didn't mind the sound after he tuned it, then it would only be $175 for that day. If later on I do decide I wanted the double tuning then I would only pay the difference. Only minor Note: Emailing him would probably be better because it a little bit hard to understand him over the phone. But when my piano needs tuning again I will definitely call him!!

Will was the second quickest to respond back to my initial yelp inquiry…read more He was clear and transparent with his rates, his service coverage, and his availability the following 2-3 weeks leaving no guess work on my part. He provided contact information in a timely manner. In terms of the quality of his work, I can speak to his attention to detail going through every key while being open to initial findings from the customer (me). He was not hesitant to provide some perspective when I asked for his opinion. He also recommended to voice it down a little for free, which I had not done before. He did it in just under two hours. He didn't rush, but worked with a purpose. He also has an informative and clean website which customers can appreciate to get a quick rundown of what to expect. He was also cool with pets. My dog was cool with him and so was one of my cats (the other two were hiding). I'll be sure to get my next piano tuning from him again.

We love the Home Sweet Home Music Lessons program! It's for all ages!…read more As a retired music teacher for pre schoolers and a musician myself , I believe the "at home" setting allows the student to really tap into their own sense of musical style and overall sense of expression . No comparisons, no distractions, in their home, at their own pace! The student can benefit tremendously from learning in an already familiar environment. My 3 children, ages 9,11 and 16, have really benefited from it, on both personal and musical levels. One of my children is very shy and since taking voice and piano lessons at home, as well as performing at their seasonal recitals, she has really come out of her shell in school, participating a lot more in all academic activities. We also love our teacher , Ms Kim Korzelius. She is knowledgeable, and so talented and she definitely has an amazing ability to tap into my children's musical needs. She can work extremely well with both their strengths, and with where they need reinforcement. In addition, the program director Adam Kestler, is very caring and I love his vision for his program and what it offers to all students in all different levels of music such as: lessons for many types of instruments, School Jazz Band and Audition preparation lessons and also music lessons for children with special needs . They operate in a variety of locations and there are many talented teachers available to fit all needs. There is something for everyone! It is really a great platform to explore what the student likes and to find guidance to which music direction to take. Last but not least, the recital setting is so friendly and because of the variety of musical levels amongst the students, it is a huge ice breaker for the new comers . Over all we have had an outstanding experience with the Home Sweet Home Music Lessons. We heard about it from a friend, and I highly recommend it.
