“I’d highly recommend Steve. I had a really out-of-tune piano because of years of neglect. He gave me the options for what he could do and how much they would cost. I opted for a onetime tuning now, to make the piano passable, and if my daughter continues to take lessons, we’ll go for a more extensive series of tunings to really bring the piano back to where it should be. He was understanding and very helpful with his advice.”

“Steve and I seem to have had a miscommunication. This may have been contributed to by the fact that we were texting. Perhaps it would have been better if we spoke on the phone. Who knows- maybe old technology- the old fashioned phone call would have been better?

In brief, we had a miscommunication about time. I will try to hook up with Steve in the future and update my review then.

The only thing I can comment is on price. Steve said he would charge $150 to tune my baby grand. I know it is in very good condition- and it has been tuned regularly. The only reason I was seeking another tuner is that the guy I usually use lives far away.

I do not know if my “B” rating for good is accurate enough to guide people. I have seen prices quoted on the web from $125 -$200. But in the end the only way to know how fair a price is, is to be base it on the actual work performed. If the tuner finds problems and needs to spend more time, his price might be increased.

Many people have given Steve good ratings, so even though I did not use him, the opinions of other reviewers should count more.”

“Our piano required a tuning shortly after we moved from Manhattan to Ossining… Steve was professional, personable, very knowledgable …. we have since recommended him and everyone shares our high regard for Steve.”

“Estimated the value of a second hand piano. With Steve’s guidance I was better able negotiate with seller. I bought the piano and Steve and his team did an excellent job moving the piano. Steve is very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend Steve and will likely work with him in the future. Price was reasonable.”

“We have an older piano and Steve did a great job tuning it. Suggested some additional services for a later date to rehab the piano but was very understanding that we did not want to do that at this time. I was very happy with his services and would recommend to anyone looking for a tuner or a technician.”

“Steve did a great job.  He assessed the situation and went over in detail what was needed in a way that I would understand.  He is very through and looks for the right way, rather than the fast way to do things.  I have had several tuners in the past and have never been satisfied.  Steve is wonderful and highly recommend him without reservations.”

Chris from Harrison, NY

“Steve assessed the piano very carefully and explained the repairs that would be needed to bring it back to playing condition.  The work was quite extensive and Steve took several parts with him to his shop for repair.  In the end the piano needed several new strings as well as a bit of cabinetry repair.  After two visits and a final tuning the piano sounds wonderful once again.  Now my husband just needs to find the time to play it more often!”

“Excellent piano tuning and repairs.
I am a classically trained concert pianist. I’ve been using Steve to tune and maintain my piano for years. He always does a great job and keeps me informed of what needs attention on the piano both short- and long-term. Two years ago he replaced all the hammers in the piano and did a great job – it really needed it. A year ago, we added a humidity control system to keep the piano regulated during the different seasons.
I bought a studio upright piano from Steve in June for a second home. It’s perfect. He delivered it, set it up and tuned it. It’s the perfect piano for the space.
Earlier this summer I recommended Steve to a friend to refinish her piano. It came out beautiful. His refinishing is top-notch.
Very trust-worthy and honest. Can’t go wrong.”
