I own a 1912 Chickering upright which used to be a player piano. Both Todd and Sharon have tuned this piano for over 20 years. I also had them do extensive work on the action and it has played beautifully ever since. They were able to successfully fix a squeaky petal which another tuner told me was unfixable. 10 out of 10 for knowledge, friendliness, reliability and fair pricing. I would definitely consult them if you were interested in purchasing a piano as they have worked on all types and models in their career. read more

Todd did another great tuning job for me on Monday. My daughter's 40 yr. old Kawai upright never sounded so good ! The pitch had fallen so far that he had to tune the whole piano three times to bring it up, and with no extra charges. read more

Todd and Sharon are very knowledgeable and helped tuned my wife's piano. Friendly and good communication.

You can't beat this price for a double tuning for your piano. It was easy to make an appointment and Sharon came out. She was absolutely delightful and good at her job. She's very knowledgeable about the piano and it was fun chatting with her. My tuning took about two hours. Glad I found her on Yelp. read more

We acquired a 100-year-old Steinway grand a few years ago. It hadn't been tuned in years and had been moved twice, so it was way out of tune. It was easy to make the appointment with T & S. Todd arrived at the scheduled time, and did an extremely thorough job with the tuning. While he was working, he gave us lots of information about our piano, including work that was done on it previously. Considering how long it took to get our piano back into tune, I expected to be charged extra, but I was only asked to pay for the standard service. We've since had our piano tuned again, and also had some work done on the action and regulation (both Todd and Sharon were there for that). The additional work was excellent and our piano is sounding amazing. Both Todd and Sharon really paid attention to detail, including making some adjustments on the pedals, cleaning up our very dusty soundboard, and adjusting the keyboard lid. Throughout, they've always sent messages in advance to confirm appointment times, arrived on time, and were super pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. Excellent service. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended. read more

Sharon was so nice and patient on the phone and when she arrived, I thought we'd get our 121 yr old Estey Piano tuned. Turned out that it couldn't be fully tuned so she tuned it to itself so it's about 1/2 step down cuz the string would probably break if she cranked all of them by a 1/2 step. It's fine for beginning. Gave us a quote for a rebuild and only charged $70 since it wasn't a full double tune. She gave me a lesson on these pianos and what they could do. Will consider the rebuild at some point. They aren't pushy, but diligent. You can tell she loves what she does. read more

Updated a month after the tuning and voicing: No doubt Sharon is very nice, punctual, and maybe very skillful as a technician. She thought my piano wasn't tuned right, she could tell the previous technician used an electronic device to tune it and it couldn't compare to aural tuning. I don't fully agree with that but that's not important. My piano had a very unique bell like tone, delicate sound and an effortless touch, it just sings. But after the tuning, she was very confident that i would love it, and it just needs to be played in for a few weeks. Now a month has passed, and I gave it a chance, it just doesn't feel right, all those characters of an european piano were removed, and it now requires lots of force to bring out the tone. It just sounds too dark to my taste, i know this is a very subjective thing. Now the thing is I have no doubt she may have the best skills as a top notch technician, she may have served lots of musicians and they all loved her as she claimed, but people have different preference and taste, I would want a technician to "work with" the client, and really understands what is the client looking for. That being said, I am still very grateful for her coming out especially im out of her service area. read more

If there were six stars, I'd give it to them! I researched several tuners and decided to give them a try due to their email explaining that they twice tune and include pedals. I have an older spinner upright piano that hasn't been tuned in years. Todd spent a good two hours on it with a wonderful caring attitude. He tuned it three times! I gave him a little more money because he well deserved it. The time and effort and attitude he put into it was well worth it. I'm so glad I chose wisely. read more

Just had Todd over to tune a 1985 Yamaha baby grand (G1) that I grew up on; it was just moved to our house from my parents' a few days ago. The piano hadn't been used or tuned in over 6 years, ever since I ran off to college. Todd is punctual, extremely thorough, and knowledgable. He asks useful questions and provides a customized plan of action so that all parties are happy (including the piano!). My piano was located in the living room with concrete floors, and since it had never been voiced properly, was emitting a harsh tone, with the sound bouncing around all over the place. Todd not only went through and tuned the piano twice, he also did some voicing to improve the tone of the piano tremendously! He also provided excellent suggestions on how to mellow out the sound more, by putting a rug or two below the piano. The piano sounds great, and my ears aren't aching anymore from banging on an out of tune piano. AWESOME! Will definitely consult Todd in the future for my piano regulation, tuning, and voicing needs. read more

Called them the week before Christmas and needed the piano to be tuned for an online recital. Thankfully, they had availability. They are professional, punctual and friendly. read more

My Mom has an old player piano from the 1970's that has been very neglected over the years. Todd went above and beyond in servicing it. Not only is it now in tune, but he managed to bring the player back from the dead after it hadn't worked for at least twenty years. Having the piano work again has brought a lot of joy to our house. Thank you! read more

Sharon is the absolute best piano tuner I have ever had! Not only does she tune but she also adjusts the piano so that none of the keys are louder than the others. Sharon first tuned my piano 16 years ago. She tuned it again last week and it is amazing. (It had been tuned in between by another tuner.) Sharon is now going to be the only piano tuner for me!! She is highly recommended. read more

I played piano as a child but hadn't touched one in 15 years. My gal and I are expecting our first baby and said, heck, let's get an old, beat-up piano just to see if we'll make the effort to get back into the piano-playing saddle. Today, Todd Lyall came over to tune it and he was AWESOME, plain and simple. Not only did he take a tremendous amount of time and care with the piano but with me as well: he spent the first 30+ minutes answering all my questions. He then did a super-thorough job, spending well over an hour tuning the piano; and then spending even more time afterwards to explain what he'd done. He doesn't just tune the piano: he also examines it, fixes whatever little things he can. He also told us what to keep an eye on going forward so we can get the fullest, best life out of our piano. When he left, I felt like I'd gotten a little bit of piano history to boot. He was super-friendly, patient, supportive and extremely professional. He is amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a tuning; especially if you want to learn a little about the instrument itself. As I said above: AWESOME. read more

I have been using Todd and Sharon for the last 4 years to tune my son's piano and I can say they are second to none. They are always on time, very professional, and reasonable priced for the job they do. Thanks Todd and Sharon!!! read more

I've taught piano for over 10 years and had the same tuner that whole time. After moving I had to find a new tuner for the same piano. Sharon made my piano sound and feel better than it ever had, even improving the voicing. Thank you so much! So happy to have found you. read more

Great service! Mrs. Lyall was awesome at her job, courteous, and prompt. I would highly recommend her services for piano servicing. Mrs. Lyall had to make additional trips to my home to get the tuning just right which she did to perfection, and she did not charge additionally for the trips. Very satisfied. read more

Just got home and apparently my wife raved about the piano tuner and how thorough and wonderful she was! Probably been about 15 to 20 years since we last tuned the piano and she came in and it's like brand-new now!! Thank you!! Highly recommend!! read more

Sharon was very warm and informative right from the 1st phone call to meeting her in person when she came over for the tuning appointment. She took time to explain what she saw on our 2nd hand piano and the steps she was doing. I learned quite a bit from her in just a short visit! She went over our very "flat" off tuned piano TWO and HALF TIMES!!! (WITH NO EXTRA COSTs! There was NO EXTRA Cost for a "pitch raise to A440" or minor adjustments/repairs to the sticky keys, stuck pedals or for softening the felts of the hammers for a more pleasant sounding note) She is old school and does it CORRECTLY using a TUNING FORK, not a $5 app on a smart phone.... she comes prepared to do the job right!! No extra charging for gimmicks. She's very knowledge and so down to earth.Sharon is quite the pianist as I enjoyed her fingers playing beautiful music up and down the keys. She's easy to talk to and answered my many questions in easy conversation. Excellent customer service, 5 star rating for certain!!! It's very apparent that she enjoys what she does. I highly recommend her and will be using her services for years to come. read more

I recently bought a used Yamaha U1 Vertical piano on Craigsist. The piano was about 40 years and had seen a lot of use and maybe some abuse, including moisture and possibly smoke damage. It was sitting in a garage, the tone was dead, it was out of tune, and the action was all wrong. I got a great price on the piano but was worried that I got a lemon. Todd came highly recomended, and I was really happy to have both Todd and his wife Sharon do some work on the piano, and bring it back to life. All their work is by hand, they still tune by ear, and they are extremely affordable given the amount of labor that is usually involved with piano repair. They did some repairs on the action, reshaped the very worn hammers, did some regulation, tuning and voicing. Todd and Sharon were very professional, super friendly, and answered all my questions about the piano and the work they performed. The piano now plays and sounds beautiful. The action is extremely responsive, and the tone is both warm and rich, and is a pleasure to play. I would recommend TnS to anyone who needs anything from a basic tuning to a major piano overhaul. read more

Todd has done an amazing job of tuning my Story and Clark console and giving it a bit of the extra attention it craves--and at what I consider a very reasonable price. I think it probably helps that he is a musician with a a highly sensitive ear. Todd is also a technician who does repair and rebuilding of pianos, so I trust his expertise completely. If I'm ever in the market for a new piano, Todd will be the #1 person to help me make any decisions. read more
