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.

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.

However, Randy Chastain is the very highest calibre technician I have ever had the pleasure to employ. She is more knowledgeable and professional than I ever thought possible from someone who would grace my living room and work on my instrument. I always knew there had to be someone this good out there- I just was never able to find him/her. Now that I have, I will NEVER use another tuner/technician as long as she is close enough for a house call. I highly recommend Concert Pitch tuning without reservation.

I recently purchased a older piano from Randy and I can' t say enough about her. I chose an amazing Krakauer piano at a very reasonable price. The piano is probably at least 80 years old, but the beautiful hardwood and ivory keys are in great shape. Most importantly though, the sound is phenomenal. Not only because of the great materials that the piano is made of, but also the care and love that Randy put in. If you are shopping for a piano, check her out. You will be glad you did. Thanks Randy!

I'm so happy with the repair Arvin did on my KAWAI piano!…read more The fallboard was accidentally damaged and a piece of the black polyester finish, about 1/3 of the size of a fingernail, was completely chipped off. Since the piano has a beautiful high-gloss black finish, I was really worried that even after repairing it, I would still be able to see where the damage had been. My piano tuner recommended Arvin to me, and I'm very glad he did. Arvin did an amazing job! When I got the fallboard back, I honestly couldn't even find the spot that had been repaired. The color and shine match perfectly, and it looks just like the original finish. You can really tell Arvin knows what he's doing. His workmanship and attention to detail are excellent. I'm very happy with the result and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs piano finish repair or restoration.

The communication was excellent throughout. He kept me updated while he was en route and again as the work progressed, so I was never left guessing whether we'd make it. The string replacement and tuning were both first-rate, and Ramin took the time to explain what he was doing and why, which I appreciated more than I expected to. Genuinely nice guy, easy to talk to, and clearly knows his craft inside and out. He even showed up with some homemade snacks his wife had made, which was a lovely touch and says a lot about the kind of people you're dealing with here. If you need a piano tuner, especially under pressure, you're in good hands with Ramin. Highly recommend.
