Joel Lane was professional, on time, and a perfectionist. He went through all the keys three times and even did some additional repairs for free. The overall tuning was about 2.5 hours, and the piano had not been tuned for 30 years. Joel made it sound good again; things they were off-tune sounded fine again. He answered all questions and also gave a realistic assessment of what needs to be done for the future. It's a good quality tuning that is worth the price. read more

United Piano is an excellent company. Joel Lane, the technician, was knowledgeable, professional, and communicated clearly throughout the process. I received a quote upfront, and the work was completed carefully and meticulously. I especially appreciated his honesty--it really stood out. Highly recommend this company, 10/10. read more

Great communication before providing service, great job tuning piano, and offered us a lot of wisdom and insights about our piano and what maintenance moving forward could and should look like. Strongly recommend! read more

Tuning and cleaning of our upright was long overdue and he did an incredible job. Highly recommend.

I just used them to tune a piano that had some recent rough traveling months and not the necessarily most careful piano movers. My piano tuner did a great job tuning, but he also went the extra mile to add some cushioning to fix a squeak that had developed with one of the pedals. I will use them again. read more

Joel really knows his stuff. He tuned our piano recently and did a really great job. In addition to tuning our piano, he gave me a lot of insights about the piano. Definitely worth the price. read more

Five stars honestly doesn't feel like enough for Joel! He did an amazing job on our piano--it sounds better than it ever has. You can tell he really knows what he's doing and actually cares about getting it right. He took his time, and didn't leave until everything sounded perfect. He does great lubrication, tuning, and fixing even the odd unexpected, problems. On top of that, he's very kind and a great guy. He's prices great money for value and are definitely worth the work. We'll definitely be booking him again, and definitely recommend! read more

Heard them for a piano tuning, small repairs and cleaning. Joel was phenomenal. Very interesting musician and piano expert. The piano sounds fabulous. read more

If the bevy of 5 star Yelp reviews are authentic then I don't know how you got this guy. Sent email, phoned twice, left detailed messages. Never a response. Is he retired? Moved to Tahiti?Died? Guess I'll never know. read more

Great communication with Joel. He dealt with my mom mostly. I just coordinated but he made it very easy by being very communicative during the process. Will for sure use his services when needed. read more

Had Joel out to clean and tune our 20 year old Samick upright piano that had not been tuned or had any service since it left the factory. Joel got to all the important areas for cleaning and also found a few areas to repair. He tuned it up and we are back in business. Excellent communication, punctual arrival, and great value. Will call him back for annual touch up. read more

Joel at United Piano came by to stage tune and give our piano a good cleaning. He was able to fix issues of keys sticking and was meticulous and delicate, knowing our piano had not been tuned in over 50 years. He is a true master of his craft. I was fascinated by the process, and he was happy to answer my million and one questions. At no point did he give the impression that I was bothering him. He let me take as many pictures as I wanted at every stage. It felt like a friend was there to take care of our heirloom. A rarity in today's world. He is worth every penny. Joel is professional, punctual, and has great communication, which was handled via text, and he was very responsive. He let us know when he was on his way and his eta. I was able to pay him by Venmo, which is super convenient. I would recommend him to family and friends and already have. We will be using him year after year. https://www.unitedpiano.com read more

Joel was very responsive to my text messages inquiring about options and services, answering all of my questions, and scheduling an appointment for tuning and cleaning my baby grand piano (which I bought, used, about a year ago, and which probably hadn't seen any professional treatment in over 10 years). When the appointment day arrived, Joel showed up right on time. He was professional, courteous, and friendly. After spending several hours of work cleaning and tuning my piano, it's like a brand new instrument! I will be using Joel for annual piano cleaning going forward. Please contact him if you need a piano tuning and/or cleaning. I am so thankful to have found Joel; I give him my highest recommendation, and please reach out to me for any more questions. read more

Joel tuned and cleaned/lubricated my older model baby grand today and it's like a totally new instrument! He did a great job with it, taking the thing apart. He was able to come out the same week I called and let me know when his expected ETA. Very pleasant and didn't leave any mess. I highly recommend! read more

I recently acquired a 1976 Aeolian Pianola player piano and had Joel come out to do a tune-up. He got it cleaned and working and when he found he couldn't fix the player parts he did what he could so we could use it while we wait for a player piano tech to repair it. I was super impressed by how pleasant and forthright he was and can't recommend him highly enough. His price was fair, his communicativeness was perfect, and he left me a very happy new pianola owner! read more

I recently inherited a Vose & Sons piano built circa 1900. To the best of my knowledge, the piano has never been tuned or cleaned. We called Josh to come out and take a look at the piano. I was shocked to see that he basically took 50% of the piano apart to clean 100 years of dirt and he even repaired some of the damaged parts. Josh went above and beyond what I expected and his rate is extremely fair. I was shocked to find out how little he was charging us for all of the work that he did. I am very happy with the work that Josh did and he will be our "go to" person for any future piano issues. No read more

I recently called Joel as my piano was going out of tune. Joel is professional, experienced, and enthusiastic about his work. It is rare you see someone who takes pride in their work. Playing the piano and other stringed instruments for some time, I can tell when a tune-up good or bad. Joel's tune-up was by far the best I have ever had. He spent the time to ensure that everything would sound "fluid." Joel also spent the time to give me some tips when I tune up certain notes and explained some technical terms to me. In addition to this, he went above and beyond and helped me diagnose additional issues with my piano. I will definitely be calling Joel again in the future. He is by far one of the best tuners in the Sacramento area. read more

If I could rate more stars, I would! Joel made my little girl's piano sound so amazing! We needed a serious tune up! I'd recommend United Piano in Sacramento and surrounding areas to anyone that is meticulous, loves quality and respects the expert. He opened up my eyes to so many possibilities regarding pianos and their history. He did not rush, he was on time which is awesome and best of all there were no hidden fees. He's the real deal:). I'm a client for as long as he will allow me to be:) He also found vintage pennies and Bobbi Pins in our piano and that was so cool because we love the history and the story of our Vintage family piano:) Best, From a HAPPY MOM AND DAUGHTER! read more

I purchased a grand piano a few weeks ago that was in desperate need of tuning and some fixing. Joel was just the guy I was looking for to do the job! He was incredibly friendly and very hospitable. He arrived during the time-frame he gave and made sure to note down everything that needed to be looked at. He spent time and made sure that everything on the piano was taken care of. He is certainly highly skilled in his craft! Once he was done, the piano sounded completely different-- in the best way possible! He explained to me what he did and the issues that were fixed. He even cleaned the inside of it as well as the outside, which was really awesome. I will be continuing to use his piano tuning and repair services for the future- and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks, Joel! read more

United Piano - My old piano that is in great shape now thanks to Joel!! - Piano Services Near Me

Joel was very nice and professional. After looking over my McPhail piano he recommended someone else for all the work that was needed. I originally called to have it tuned but it truly needed an overhaul. Joel was good at communication and I appreciate that he took the time to explain things to me and gave me options. I also appreciate that he took the time to find out information such as, how much I used the piano, it's importance to me, etc...this piano was given to me by my father and I have played it since 5 years old so it has sentimental value. Therefore, that impacts how much time, money and effort should be put into restoring it. Previous tuners that worked on my piano did not ask me those questions and the answers play an important role in decisions that need to be made. I highly recommend United Piano. read more

Joel is hands down the BEST piano tuner/repair person! I've had my pianos serviced many many times over 50+ years, and have not been pleased with the last few tuners. I contacted Joel on the advice of a friend, and he so helpfully advised me about a used piano I was considering. Having passed on that one on his advice, he found me another at an unbelievable price! He is now my go-to to all things piano. Thanks, Joel! read more

Jole is awesome in every way possible! He tuned my wife's Piano and made a few minor adjustments for a very reasonable price . He is honest polite and trust worthy. I recommend him to anybody that needs their piano serviced or tuned ! read more

Joel did an amazing job tuning my piano. I am very thankful I found him on Yelp. I do not know any piano technician in my area (Sacramento) and so I just relied on the reviews and I am glad I did reach out to him. He responds to inquiries very quickly and is very helpful in giving advice both pros and cons. For the amount of time and quality of his work, I can tell that Joel is indeed passionate for what he does. He even worked late hours so I can enjoy my newly purchased and tuned piano before my birthday. If you are looking for a good, trusted, honest, fair piano technician, do not hesitate to reach out to Joel. He is a gem! read more

Joel did an amazing and thorough job with the piano tuning. We have 35 plus year old upright and it hadn't been tuned for at least 25 years. He spent almost 5 hours working on the piano and was meticulous in both his work and how he explained what he was doing. It is clear from his work and communication style that he takes pride in his work and great customer service. It's great to see this skill and expertise in our region. Highly recommend. read more
