Recently signed my kids up for piano lessons and needed to get a piano that our neighbor gave us tuned. I read reviews and got some quotes from yelp. Schrager had so many good reviews and his quote was very reasonable. The other quotes I got were open ended so I really didn't know what the total cost would be. Schrager gave me a worse case scenario price so I felt confident knowing financially what I was getting myself into. I really appreciated his clear upfront pricing. He also was great about sending his availability. I booked a date then switched it and then switched it back. He was very accommodating and it was very easy to schedule via text. Next is that this man is a professional. He showed up early and with shoe covers. Whenever anyone shows up to my house with shoe covers, that is already a great first impression. We were off to awesome start. It just shows how considerate they are coming into your home. Now the piano tuning. I've never seen a piano being tuned before so it was interesting to see how he had an iPad he used as he worked to tune each key. While having a full on hour conversation with me. He was very relatable and I honestly felt like I just had a family friend over. When he was done he played some beautiful music. I wasn't sure how having our piano tuned would go. Would it be awkward because there's a stranger in your house? What do you do? Do you talk to them or not? But Schrager was so cool that it felt like hanging out with a friend while he tuned our piano. He is amazing and no wonder he has so many 5 star reviews! Would mostly definitely recommend him for piano tuning! read more

Great communication, prompt, quality work, will be using Schrager to maintain my grand piano from this point forward!

He has helped many friends with piano tuning. They all enjoyed his professionalism and expertise in piano and other instruments

It's thank you Thursday 2021 on Yelp and I wanted to personally thank Schrager for his professionalism and how great both of my pianos sound. The tuning is perfect and I'll be calling you back on a regular basis. Thanks so much. read more

Schrager is one of the best piano technicians I have ever met! I contacted him for a tuning of my friends piano that hasn't been tuned in a long time and Schrager was able to make it sound so much better. He also showed up very promptly on the appointment time, 30 mins early which was totally fine with me. He is very polite and wore shoe covers in the house and we got to talk and bond over the fact that we both went to the same HS / college. Schrager was also able to fix some pedal issues on both of the pianos in this home. I will definitely use Schrager for any of my piano tunings / services I will ever need in the future. I cannot wait to see the journey that these pianos will go on with Schrager's professionalism and talent as a technician. Thank you so much Schrager for your time and skill! If you need a tuner or piano technician, Schrager is the man!!! read more

Excellent service. Schrager is very knowledgeable and was able to get piano playing better than when it was new. I highly recommend his services. read more

We took a chance on a pre-owned Kawai KG-2A from 1993. It probably had not been tuned in over a decade but also has not had heavy use beyond the first decade of its life. Even so, the piano's action felt buttery smooth, and I could still hear the warmth in its tone. I once had Schrager tune my Kawai K25 at my parents' house back in 2012. Naturally, I didn't have a piano with me to have him tune regularly since then. I've invited him back to service this new acquisition of mine - a 30 year-old 5'10" grand typically found in pipe dreams of folks who can only pursue music now as a hobby. Schrager was amenable and knowledgable, imparting some Kawai history and assessing the current condition of this KG-2A. And after some focused work, this instrument has regained the consistency in tonality and warmth that I knew it had potential to showcase. It wasn't bad before, and yet it's even better now. Next step will hopefully be a thorough interior cleaning the next time I need a tuning. Thanks a ton, Schrager! read more

Schrager was so nice and explained everything he was doing. I had issues after moving. He also tuned my piano and it sounds great now. He is also a very great pianist so it was a pleasure to listen as he checked it after tuning. read more

Schrager came highly recommend by a friend, he's very personable and friendly, he did a beautiful job tuning my piano.

Called Shrager to do our bi annual tuning. He did some measurements and found that our piano's action was way out of whack. So, we agreed to let him take it home and overhaul it. It is a big job but, it is a very nice Yamaha Grand G2 piano from 1978. So, it takes a few days for this service. Just got the action placed back into it's 5'7" shell and now, the piano sounds and plays like new. It's sound is amazingly beautiful. The response is extremely accurate. I would give Shrager 10 stars if yelp would allow it. This guy is the most knowledgeable person in the industry. I would not trust anyone else with our piano. Considering the value of our piano, it was well worth the small amount it cost to renew the action (keyboard). Thank you Shrager! See you in 6 months for the next tuning! read more

Schrager did a fine job on tuning my daughter's piano. We made very smooth transaction from making appointment to payment. We also enjoyed conversation throughout the time. We both agreed that US kids should receive more opportunities to interact with piano, while Asia is ahead of US by far. He is a very experienced, knowledgeable and admirable person. Highly recommended! read more

My girlfriend has an upright grand piano over 100 years old that originally belonged to her great grandparents. As a Christmas present I told her I would have it tuned for her as it hadn't been done in about 20 years. Based on the age of the piano we thought a piano technician was a better choice than a tuner so I contacted Schrager and he immediately responded with a basic quote and availability. He confirmed the appointment a few days before. He arrived on time (7 AM) and was pleasantly surprised by the tone, condition and prior work done almost 20 years ago. He spent the next hour meticulously bringing the piano back into tune until he was satisfied with the results. I had the privilege of hearing his talents as a pianist when he was done; it was a wonderful way to start my morning. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and talented. It's obvious that he enjoys his work and takes great pride in it. My girlfriend came home from work that night and was thrilled with how it sounded. We'll definitely be calling Schrager for our future needs. Thank you sir for a job well done! read more

Schrager tuned up my piano this morning, and sounds the best I've ever heard it play. From all the 5 *'s you can tell he knows his craft well, so i wont expound on that. What I will elaborate on is Schrager himself. Seriously, one of the best dudes I've met in a while. We chatted about a wide range of topics the entire time he was tuning. Easy guy to get along with. Highly recommended. read more

I received moved my childhood piano from my parents house to my house. I had taken lessons as a child but stopped in junior high. This piano hasn't been used in probably around 24 years, so it was sounding really out of tune and some of the keys were sticking. I checked Yelp for some piano tuning services around me and decided to go with Schrager. His pricing was reasonable, he answered my questions and didn't seem pushy at all. He worked his magic and tuned and fixed the keys on my old upright piano in under 2 hours. He was very knowledgable, friendly, and professional. He was easy to talk to and explained how everything worked. After finishing the tuning, he was able to sight read and play our favorite piano piece by Yiruma, River flows you beautifully. It was amazing watching him play a song that we've only heard via Youtube..lol. I never knew our piano could sound so beautifully until after he finished playing. I can't wait for my son to be old enough to start lessons with him! Definitely recommend Schrager's piano tuning/repair services. He's awesome! read more

Just had my piano tuned by Schrager. Everything, from initial communication to setting an appointment to the tuning itself to his beautiful rendition of "Ribbons in the Sky," was superb! I'm so happy to have found an excellent piano technician that serves the Claremont area! read more

Highly recommend! Very professional and friendly. He is very on time and get the job done in a timely manner. He is also being very upfront with the pricing, if your piano hasn't been tuned for decades verse with up-to-date maintanece. I will for sure use, only him, him on our tunings. read more

Answered & scheduled appointment promptly. He was fair in pricing. Schrager was on time and was knowledgeable in what he was doing and explained everything about the piano to me which is helpful since it is my daughter that plays not me. The piano acquired second hand was definitely in need of tuning and sounds great after tuning. He plays piano beautifully too and was nice to listen to him play. Will use him for next tuning. *Had appointment with another company but it was difficult to get a hold of & only would schedule afternoon when I was at work for new pianos. So glad I looked on yelp & found Schrager! read more

We inherited a Kimball spinet piano from a dear friend who was moving and couldn't take their piano with them. The old piano was a half tone out of tune (some keys more) - probably hadn't been tuned in over 20 years. Upon opening it up, Schrager found another piano tech's business card in there dated April 15, 1969! Needless to say, this piano has a lot of old brittle parts. Schrager is a true professional - highly skilled all around. He gently coaxed this delicate old heirloom back in tune, and fixed all the loose keys (most of 'em). He advised us he would not tune this old piano all the way a 1/2 tone to A440 due to its age. Recommended an 80% close to not over-do it. We can work it up to A440 6 months after the piano has had a chance to settle. Left the highest and lowest keys alone to not over-strain the bridge. He took the time to explain everything to us, and we are so grateful for his sage advice. If he's got the time for us, we will be having him back regularly to keep this lovely instrument in service for years to come. We are so happy! read more

Schrager did what three other piano tuners in the last 3 months were unable to do: 1) tune every key of our piano; and 2) solve the problem we were having with strange vibrating sounds. The first piano tuner rescheduled on me two times then never showed on our last appointment. The second piano tuner came and tuned the piano, but was unable to fix the vibrating sounds. He told me there was a crack in the sound board. So I called a third piano tuner/repair man. He came over and said he couldn't fix it, gave me the number to yet another piano repair man who did nothing but waste my time on the phone asking a slew of questions only to say I was too far from him to come out. I'm only 30 mins from him. Well, third time's a charm! (or fourth, or maybe fifth now) Schrager came to the rescue! He heard the vibrating sounds, moved the piano from the wall (something the others did not do) and found four piano moving sliders that the piano movers left on the back of the piano. The sliders were causing the vibrations! Easy fix. Then he actually tuned every key of the piano and it finally sounds beautiful! Don't waste your time with anybody else. Schrager is certified by PTA, a great guy, knows what he's doing, came in with a mask and shoe covers, super easy to schedule with via text, and punctual. And I say this even though we have differing allegiances when it comes to the NFL -- that says a lot. But I'm only willing to look past his team of choice because his team didn't make it to the playoffs either. *wink* See you in 6 months, Schrager! And thank you! read more

If I could give more than five stars I would. Schrager is the most humble, talented, and knowledgeable piano technician I have met. You can tell he is very passionate about his work and takes his time with each piano. I own a Baldwin concert grand and after a bad experience with another piano tech, he was able to fix the issues that same day! (sticky keys, soft pedal moving keys too far to the right, and a loud clicking noise when middle C was pressed.) He has SO much knowledge about the instrument and does an excellent job at explaining how he will fix your piano issues. If you are looking for a piano technician, THIS IS YOUR GUY!! You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Schrager, I am more than happy with my overall experience! read more

We don't have a very expensive piano but Schrager makes it sound like a million dollar piano :) He comes twice a year to tune my son's piano since 2016. He is very informative and very nice, and with a humble personality. We love hearing him play as well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SCHRAGER MITCHELL for anyone with piano. Thank you for your service read more

Excellent service, totally professional, and exceeded expectations. It can be stressful having someone unknown to you come to your house, but Schrager is wonderful. A great service and will be calling him with my piano needs in the future. read more

Schrager was recommended by a friend and I called him the Friday before the MLK holiday as we had 2 broken keys on our piano that another piano technician had been unable to fix. (The felt padding had fallen off the ends of the hammers.) My son is preparing for the CM exam so we needed a working piano. Schrager got information from me over the phone, scheduled a visit for MLK day. He showed up early the day of as he was running ahead of schedule; had a bag of replacement hammers ready and was able to repair the 2 hammers on our Baldwin piano within an hour. As other reviews have stated, he also has a great personality. We are official fans of Schrager Mitchell for all our future piano tunings and repairs! read more

Schrager is an awesome piano technician. His love and knowledge for pianos and piano tech is infectious. Definitely my go to for piano related questions and concerns. I can recommend him without any hesitation. You'd be lucky to have Schrager work on your piano. read more

5 stars! Was a polite guy who was very informative. He tuned and pitched my piano for a good price. Was easy to work with when scheduling and was here when he said he would be. Would highly recommend him to tune or clean your piano read more

I'm so happy I found Schrager! He responded almost immediately with a quote and available appointment. Schrager was incredibly kind and charismatic so I instantly felt at ease with him working on my little vintage spinet piano.. even more so after he answered all my ignorant questions and proved to be extremely knowledgeable. He was also very patient (not just for letting me pester him with questions)- my piano was almost 100% off tune and some high keys didn't even register in his software! It sounds beautiful and like brand new.. now my dog won't huff and puff when I start playing. He also fixed my stubborn music desk with his own tips and tricks! Definitely my go to guy from now on. read more

Last month Schrager performed his 6-month tune up our Steinway Grand and as always, we are just beyond pleased with how the piano sounds afterwards. He continues to be gentle and meticulous and takes his time to tune and to answer any questions you may have. Our piano is now close to 20 years old and the tones are still rich and deep especially after Schrager's magic touch. It took us a very long time to find this perfect tuner as we had tried so many in the past. We are definitely sticking with Schrager. We will be due again in September. For people who don't know, even if a piano in your home does not get used or is just in your home for looks, it requires regular tune ups or the instrument breaks down over time, (i.e. the strings, wooden parts, etc.) read more

Schrager performed a full regulation (it definitely needed it), voicing and tuning. He did a great job. I am no great pianist. Been taking lessons for 3 years. The Yamaha Grand piano (G3) I bought had some big issues (in my mind) with the consistency on how the keys played. But, after he was done with it, it played smooth up and down the keyboard. It was awesome. The regulation made a big difference. Now, one thing that I also consider is service after-the-fact. I did have a concern. However, I was able to reach Schrager who was quick to arrange a time and come out to answer that concern. Very, very good work. I would highly recommend him. read more

Schrager is fantastic! Wonderful from initial communication to completing the job. I had him come to our home to tune our old piano that we have never had tuned since we got it several years ago. He was able to make it sound like a dream. He was also able to tell us that it is 103 years old, which we had no idea. Super great guy, I trust his work and didn't mind hearing him fill my home with music as he was testing it out. I highly recommend him. read more
