Mike recently tuned and serviced my piano, after a relatively recent move to Richmond…read more Mike tuned the piano, restoring it to a condition it has not been in for a while. I have known many piano tuners over the years, and always found that the traditional tuners who start with a tuning fork (and Not an iPhone) are the best. Mike did a fantastic job, was on time and had very reasonable rates. Much better rates and service than my last three tuners. Mike is my tuner for as long as I am in Richmond! I highly recommend Mike for all piano work!

I only found this out after a while of being inside before the two guys at the counter greeted and warned us. Then I realized they had a sign outside about how they offer piano lessons. That's fine and dandy, however they should probably close the store during the recitals. Because who the heck can shop for a piano without playing it?

So far, there is no other shop locally that has anything in stock that can compare, and while it is tempting to say you will purchase something inexpensive and see if you or your child likes it--remember that it is hard enough to play the thing, and impossible to get lovely tones from most factory made instruments. The closest shop at this time would probably be Brobst, near D.C.
