We wanted our piano tuned for the Holidays. So, we were so happy to be able to schedule easily and quickly with The Piano Mechanic through the website. Brandon was on time and did a wonderful job deep cleaning and tuning our piano. We didn't realize how much work the piano needed, but he explained and showed us all the areas of concern. He showed us what work was absolutely necessary to get the piano in decent shape for the Holidays right now, and what could be done in the near future. So grateful that he was able to move things around in his schedule and squeeze us in. His work was meticulous and neat and fairly priced. Thank you so much, Brandon! read more

Don't look any farther. I have a magnificent Petrof upright handmade in The Czech Republic only recently exported to USA! I am a lucky owner. I wanted the best technician and Brandon was a shining example of "FINE"! Spirit ~ read more

Brandon is an incredible piano technician. If you are looking for someone who treats your instrument with genuine care and doesn't just rush through a job, he is the one to call. I hired him for tuning and regulation. His overall process was much more in-depth compared to other tuners and technicians I've used in the past. He took the time necessary to really dial in the regulation and fix specific issues that others might have overlooked. What stands out most is his absolute passion for the craft. It was fascinating talking to him about piano construction, from the nuances of wood sources in Fazioli pianos to his own personal project restoring an antique Bechstein. You can tell he lives and breathes pianos. My instrument sounds and feels fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

I waited for over a month for the owner to come to my home as promised to see my old upright piano. Postponed 3 times & ultimately never returned my multiple calls & messages & never showed up or called read more

You will not be sorry with the service(s) performed by the piano mechanic! We have had Brandon out to our house twice now. The first time was about 6 months ago for a tuning on our Yamaha upright. I booked the appointment online which was very easy and his prices are listed so there's no surprise. He showed up on-time and got to work immediately. He's extremely talented at what he does and very meticulous. He leaves your piano looking (and sounding) as good as it did (maybe even better) than it did when brand new. At that time he recommended a deep cleaning at the next appointment, which I booked when he was finishing up. This was 6 months later. BTW I should mention that our piano hasn't been cleaned since the 90s. Again, he showed up on-time and worked diligently. We had some sticky keys, and a few that needed to be fine tuned. He did it all and even polished the pedals! He recommended another tuning in a year if it needs it. I went ahead and booked it now so that we have it on the books. Thank you Brandon, you did a wonderful job and I wouldn't recommend anyone else! read more

I have a Wilhelm Schimmel baby grand that doesn't get the attention it deserves. I have had Brandon tune and service the piano twice now and I have never had a service technician as skilled, knowledgeable and talented as Brandon. I should note that I've been a piano owner for 55 years, so I've had numerous experiences with tuners/technicians. I fell in love with my current piano the first time I played it in the showroom. Somehow Brandon has worked his magic to improve its sound and operation. I also trust Brandon's integrity and appreciate his efforts to render the best service with an eye toward the budget. I've come to appreciate that a talented technician like Brandon actually enhances the musical experience for his clients. read more

Brandon did an amazing job tuning my piano. It had been moved so it was certainly out of tune. He was efficient and so nice and I will definitely use his tuning services annually for my piano! It sounds so lovely again and I'm loving playing it! read more

Brandon did an amazing job with Phase 1 of rebuilding my husband's family's 1925 Gulbransen piano. He gave it new life. It sounds like a modern piano. He repaired keys, the overall touch and feel of how the keys play, and sound/tone. We are fortunate to have found an expert who enjoys his work and pays attention to details. We knew right away that he was the right person for the challenge. Thanks Brandon - looking forward to Phase 2. read more

Brandon did a great job on my piano. He is informative and personable. I highly recommend him.

Brandon is such a dedicated craftsman with pianos. I previously had unsatisfactory piano technicians, and Brandon tuned and revoiced my Baldwin Grand beautifully. He is a great problem solver, and found and fixed an annoying clacky key. Professional and competent. read more

Treated my old piano with great care and got it tuned back up. Outstanding service, thank you!

Piano owners - PLEASE READ! First, I cannot recommend Brandon enough - he's a true craftsman, and it shows. The wealth of knowledge he has gained over many years is truly astounding and his work is meticulous and thorough. Secondly, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between piano tuners and piano technicians! Brandon is the latter. Technicians and restorers like Brandon know your pianos literally inside and out, thus potentially saving you time and money on irrelevant work while, at the same time, performing any level of work it DOES need with precision and care. Brandon is a stellar technician and restorer - do yourself a favor and call him! read more

The Piano Mechanic - Hazleton Bros Victorian Grand - Piano Services Near Me

Brandon is a true expert and sets the example for customer service. He assisted my wife and I in determining the value and restoration cost of an heirloom piano, making recommendations based on different options we could take while patiently educating us through our ignorance. He explains things so the full extent of work is understood and is honest in setting expectations for cost and timelines, even if it negatively impacts his business. Brandon is immediately responsive when scheduling and his dedication to his craft is apparent. He has also caught me accidentally overpaying and quickly returned payment when I otherwise wouldn't have caught it. I trust him explicitly. read more

I contacted Brandon to take a look at my old Wurlitzer spinet piano that was given to my family in the 1980s. Fast forward to 2023, and we have never had it serviced. With his knowledge and expertise, I was convinced that I should upgrade to an actual piano vs. a spinet. Glad that my piano is still in good working condition, and seems salvageable. I'd have to figure out a place to donate it to. I definitely trust Brandon's opinion and his ability to care for any future piano I may obtain. He was also kind enough to give me a list of top brands he recommends. read more

As I was playing my Baldwin Grand, about I week ago,I realized that hadn't had her tuned in over 2 years. I contacted Brandon on the basis of what other customers have said about him. True to the reviews, Brandon was great all around; he is an accomplished pianist and technician. As I watched him it was easy to see how passionate and meticuous he is about his craft. He diagnosed some current and other problems to address in the future and made worthwhile suggestions so that I can continue to preserve my instrument at it's peak. When he finished his work, he give me a written analysis of what he did and what would be ideal to address in the future. After he left, it was wonderful to sit down at my piano again and fully appreciate the sound, (if not my playing). Perfectly tuned!! Brandon also has quite an incredibly well designed website with numerous service options, many of which can be maintained via monthly payments in order to avoid sudden and large costs. It is really quite thorough when it comes to the different plans and services. Ever since Brandon tuned my piano, she sounds as beautiful as she looks; and she is lovely to behold; she has wonderful legs and is always impeccably dressed. She has an incredible, range and a haunting voice that leave all those in her presence, spellbound. She is also kind, generous and forgiving of my mistakes and rewards me greatly when I respond to her needs, be they tender, or perhaps at times, a bit rough. (But I never hurt her; it's just a 'thing' she has). My wife, though she is not jealous, is still happy that she remains a piano. Brandon was great, going forward, I will continue to use him and sign up for the service plan that will best fit my needs/ read more

Punctual, professional, did a great job with the tuning of our Kawai upright. Would definitely use again

Brandon was in my area so could come on the same day I requested service. He was professional, pleasant and efficient. I'll definitely refer him to my friends.

Brandon was very kind, professional, knowledgeable, and skilled. Love the ease of using their website.

The Piano Mechanic, Brandon, is great. He is reliable and does excellent work going above and beyond. He did a fabulous job cleaning my Yamaha grand piano. Although it's almost 30 years old it now looks like new. He also went above and beyond giving me excellent advice in respect to my possibly selling it. He is a nice, friendly guy dedicated to his work. His rates are very fair considering the quality of his work. As a former college prof I'm not an easy grader - but he gets five stars from me. read more

My piano is sounding better than it has in ages. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I couldn't be happier with the tuning. For someone with three kids and a demanding job his willingness to come at off hours was highly appreciated. Highly recommended for any piano servicing needs. read more

Brandon returned my recently inherited baby grand to sounding beautiful. My service included a pedal repair and a tuning. He not only walked me through the details of what my piano needed but also how it functions. He also advised me on what care I should plan for, including preventing corrosion as I live near the coast. He'll be back next month to give it a deep cleaning (badly needed). I highly recommend Brandon the Piano Mechanic. read more

Brandon tuned and voiced my baby grand piano. It was nice before he started but now its absolutely beautiful!!! Brandon is a perfectionist and you can't go wrong putting your piano under his care. There are very few tuners who actually know how to voice the piano and give the sound the resonance that it should have. Glad I saved his phone number! read more
