I didn't hire anyone yet, but while I was shopping around I called South Bay Piano for a quote…read more Christian answered, but had to call me back after his current move. When he did call back, he was very upfront asking all the questions around the move, the houses we would be moving them from and to, and gave me his honest quote. Since I had been doing research, I asked about his price compared to a competitors, and he was upfront about how much he was paying his workers, how long they've been in the business, and shared a few local areas from where I would be moving from. He even offered to be a point of contact for getting more information while I'm still shopping around. Even if I do not choose South Bay Piano, Christian has the right customer service, attitude, and values for his business, his workers, and his clients, that I would recommend them for anyone that truly cares about their piano and their workers.

Wow, what an experience . The buyer of our grand piano booked this company to pick it up at our…read morehouse, and we saw the positive reviews (on YELP, not Google) and thought this should go well. Most reviewers even said they were very punctual and on-time. Well ... not so much for us. The first time they were supposed to pick it up we waited for them to arrive, only to find out the truck broke down on the highway and they eventually canceled. OK, that is fine. Not under their control really (mostly ). Second attempt they had a time slot of 9-11 to pick up the piano. We had the house ready, cars moved, and waited. At the last minute they canceled. They said it was because we indicated we had to be out of the house in the afternoon. That wasn't a hard deadline as we just wanted to get stuff done in the afternoon, and we could have slipped a bit. Also, that was an hour after the initial pickup window. So the second time we were left staring at our sold piano that cannot be moved by this company. I expected some extra effort on their part for this move since they dropped the ball the first time, but no. I have no idea if these are the best piano moves on the planet. Their motto is "WE-FEAR-NO-PIANO", and I guess since they never got to see our piano in person, they can still claim that. Our move would have been super simple as it was on ground level, lots of street access, and two possible exit points. In any case, good luck with your scheduling these movers. We gave up and hired the competition.

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 highly recommend Jian Min. My daughter used to play piano but hasn't in years. Recently my 6 year…read moreold granddaughter started lessons and I decided to get it tuned. It's been about 20 years! Jian arrived on time, after examining he quoted me a price of $145 for medium level tuning and recommended 6 month retuning. It took him about 1 1/2 hours. He needed bright light and absolute quiet. He even had us turn off the heater. One key was stuck and he fixed that as well. I had looked around- several music teachers do this as a side job and a local person wanted more than double for the same service. If you want dependable, high quality workmanship at a reasonable price this is the place!

I was looking for piano movers. We went with Bay Area Piano Movers since Michael responded quickly…read moreto my inquiry and the quote is extremely reasonable! Our move is a short distance drive (only 10 minutes drive between two homes) with a few stairs in both places. They finished the whole job in less than an hour. But that already included them pivoting the piano several times as an attempt to go through a very narrow patio with two doors, the team finally decided to take one of the door down, and lift the piano up straight so that the piano could go through. It took them about 15 minutes to move my piano from the truck to our new home - and that included the team cleaning/wiping off the dusts off from the back of the piano. My piano isn't a high-end model. Rather it's an old piano (30~ years) that my mom bought for me when I was a child and now my kid uses it to practice. I still play on that piano too. The team wrapped it well and took care of the move perfectly! I don't move my piano often - like once every 10-12 years. But if you are looking for piano movers at this time, I highly recommend them!!!!!

I sent them pictures which weren't clear so they said they would come out to see my piano in person to give a better, more accurate quote. Aimee communicated with me through email and she was very responsive. Shawn came out to my house to review the piano. Shawn is very knowledgeable and pleasant person to work with. We're moving this Friday and he said that there wasn't enough time to fix the wheel. But he gave us directions on what we could do and gave us instructions on how to do the repair. He referred us to sites we can get our replacement parts as well as tips on how to fix our piano. I felt so bad that he came out, helped us and we didn't given him any business so I thought the least I could do is spread the word on how great their service is. I 100% recommend S&A! =)
