Paul did a great job tuning the family piano that I inherited. He was a wealth of information and even took the time to educate me on a bit about the piano I inherited such as how to care for it properly and when it was made. If you read these, Paul, thanks again!

For the last two years, Paul has consistently kept my Steinway B sounding amazing. Always full of knowledge and eager to share, his passion for the care and preservation of pianos is very clear. Very direct and well-intentioned in conversation, full of great advice. When my piano needs a tune up, Paul is my guy!

Paul did a wonderful job tuning our piano. Before he even got to the tuning, he had to troubleshoot many keys that weren’t working. We had little hope our piano would play again, but he worked wonders! And since it hadn’t been tuned in years, it needed a pitch raise prior to the tuning. He was punctual and informative. He showed me what he was doing and explained it all clearly. I appreciated the transparency. Our piano sounds brilliant now!

Paul came to my building in DTLA, berated me about the parking situation and then stormed off, even though I offered to cover his parking costs in the secure lot over the road. He must have been having an off day because in general his reviews here seem good, but based on our interaction I could not recommend him to anyone... very rude, unprofessional and disappointing for a supposed professional. I look forward to hearing a response.Edit: I was wearing a mask...

Paul did a great job on my Baldwin. The piano had not been tuned in 20+ years and he was very careful with the instrument. He let me know all the parts that he was working on. Very, very professional; highly recommend him to every piano player I know. He responded to my quote immediately, and was able to come out the next day. Im very satisfied with the sound and the care taken.

I was looking for a more precise piano tuner for our vertical grand. I had felt the last person tuning it was hurried and claims of a spectacular ear always left me feeling it was not quite right. I made several calls and sent a few emails and Paul responded right-away. He was easy to schedule with and reminded me of the appointment a hour early and was prompt. He had already discussed all the of the possible rates and charges and how he was going to address the piano tuning. Paul was direct and forthright with his information and assessment, Took the Piano apart sufficiently to get at all of it and tuned it to perfection getting to solidly sit at 440 and across the keys. I am happy to say we are totally satisfied with the results and fees.

Paul was great! He responded to me very quickly and was easy to reach throughout the booking process and showed up on time. His experience really shows as he’s very knowledgable and passionate about his work. He uses what appears to be a very advanced app on this iPhone and the result was great! He’s also very honest with you and tell you exactly what does/doesn’t need to be done based on your piano’s condition. He was quick and friendly and I would highly recommend him and use him again!

Paul was my first piano tuner in Los Angeles. He was punctual and extremely professional. I have an old used piano and he took the time to make it as good as new. He was also extremely personable. The time went by fast. He also bring Technology to the piano tuning game. I highly recommend using Paul. I will definitely be using him again.

Paul was great! He returned my call promptly, shortly after I left a message for him. I was able to schedule an appointment with him and he showed up right on time. Paul did a great job with the piano, even though its strings were rusty and hadnt been tuned in many years. I was very pleased with his service, which was also very affordable.

Called Paul, he respond almost immediately. He was able to schedule within a week. He was very knowledgeable. He spent a great deal of time ensuring my old untuned piano was properly tuned and functioning to its fullest capability. He pitched raised, tuned it, fine tuned it, and repaired any sticking keys. This was all done for a very reasonable fee and professional attitude. Accompanied with a little piano playing....i highly recommended his services.

Paul did a great job tuning my piano. It had not been serviced in probably 10 years. He was very professional and explained the process of pitch raising followed by fine tuning. He took over two hours and did a very thorough and detailed job. My piano now sounds wonderful!

Paul was awesome. We got an old Wurlitzer that needed to be raised and tuned. He was on time and took care of everything with great skill and care. Also, he explained what he was doing before he started the work so there were no surprises. Really appreciate his hard work and knowledge. Good guy with a great work ethic and very kind.

I contacted Paul to tune our Yamaha U1 piano. He responded quickly and scheduling an appointment was easy. I watched Paul tune the piano and he was happy to explain the process to me while he was working. I found him to be very serious and competent in getting our piano sounding its best. I will definitely be using his services again.

Paul did a great job tuning our piano. It was old and had been neglected, but he made it sound great. He also took the time to educate me on the tuning process and how to care for the instrument. I felt that his pricing was good, as well. We will be using his services again, for sure.

Paul did an exceptional job tuning a 91 year old piano we had purchased from a thrift shop. It was pretty beat up. But Paul was able to restore the sound to something beautiful. He was responsive, on time, extremely hard working and professional. I highly recommend him.

Paul tuned my older Steinway studio upright perfectly this evening! He was prompt and on time for the appointment. Upon arrival he explained the service to me and provided an example of the tuning needs for my piano. He was very knowledgeable and educational! Once complete, he played beautifully and everything sounded wonderful.

Review №21

First, Paul is one of the FIRST piano tuners to actually respond to my call. Second, he actually showed up on time! More importantly, he not only tuned my piano but raised the pitch (the pianos been in storage for a bit...), and she sings like new!So, if youre looking for someone to tune your piano, youd be hard pressed to find someone better. He did a great job, was professional, courteous and on time. I couldnt be happier with the quality of the work.

Paul was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely prompt and thorough! Our piano was about one year overdue on getting tuned and he took care of meticulously getting it back in perfect tune. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone needing piano tuning service!

Paul Gray did a Piano tuning for my grandfathers Acrosonic Spinet Piano and we are very pleased with the work that he put in! He thoroughly explained his process and quickly got to it. This is an old piano with rusty strings, and he still was able to salvage a quality sound out of the instrument. We highly recommend Paul to anyone who needs technician services on their piano!

Review №24

Paul Gray did an amazing job of tuning my sons piano and bringing it back to life. It sounds a 100% better and spent over 2 hours raising the pitch, fine tuning an fixing the keys. Very impressed with his knowledge of pianos and his software program used for tuning. Paul is a registered piano technician and was referred by a friend who was very happy with his service as well.

Review №25

Ive been using Paul for more than 10 years. He is reliable and responsible and a great piano technician. He also has a lot of integrity. There have been times where I suggested that he do a particular mechanical repair on the piano and he explained why it would not be necessary or offered a creative workaround, even though it would have been more money for him. That is a quality that I appreciate very much.

Paul was a very serious, no-nonsense tuner - assessed my antique Gerhard piano well and stayed extra to make sure it got up to snuff. He uses an app which is state of the art, and assures a objective tune. He also pointed me in the direction of rebuilders, which down the line will prove useful. Very grateful for his help.

Okay, so Ive never been here. I once parked nearby and it keeps thinking Ive been here. That said, this seems like the type of mom and pop business Id love to give my business too, and I bet they tune a mean piano. Its a shame I dont actually have a piano to tune, but if I did, Id come here. I think.

Review №31

Paul did an excellent job tuning a 100 year old Chickering baby grand piano that belonged to my grandfather. It had not been serviced in over 20 years so we were all a bit skeptical it would ever sound good again without major repairs. However, Paul did a pitch raising and tuning and brought it back to life! He is a very knowledgeable piano tuner and friendly too! Thanks Paul!

Review №32

Paul is an excellent piano tuner and I not only use him all the time, I frequently recommend him to other people for professional use (e.g. venues and studios). I always especially enjoy the first month or so after he tunes my own piano, because it really brings the instrument to life in a way not all tuners do - makes the piano sing! His temperament is excellent and musical and Id recommend him to anyone.

Paul was easy to schedule and thorough in completing the task of repairing a key and then tuning my daughters piano in Echo Park. He went beyond my expectations and his fees were very reasonable. I would highly recommend others to seek his service. We will call him again.

Review №39

I purchased a 1914 Sterling on Craigslist. It had been renovated and tuned but it didnt sound right to me. Paul was exceptional. I didnt know anything about piano tuning, before this Id only ever owned a keyboard, but he taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Through him I learned that the piano was in tune but out of pitch. Even with my lack of knowledge I felt I was able to make an informed and accurate decision on what method Id prefer him to tune it. He spent about three hours, all the while informing me of what he was doing, and when he was finished the piano sounded beautiful. Almost a week later it sounds as good now as it did the moment he left. Ill definitely be using him again. Five stars.

Paul is a consummate professional who completed a very thorough and high quality pitch raise and tuning on a sadly neglected 1940s piano. What was once kept as a shelf has now once again become a beautiful instrument thanks to Paul. Id highly recommend him for his quality work, punctuality, and responsiveness.

Review №46

I have a Kawai upright that hadnt been tuned in a pretty embarrassingly long time. The pitches were all over the place. But a concert pianist was going to visit in two days and I had to get it tuned. Paul did a fantastic job, and my guest said how much she like the piano (without me prompting her). Thanks again Paul.

I couldnt be more pleased or impressed with Pauls knowledge, professionalism, promptness, and work ethic. He worked nearly 3 hours sweating thru his shirt to be sure everything was just perfect bringing my 83-year old Acrosonic upright back to life - even adjusting pedals, cleaning and vaccuuming before he allowed himself to leave. Still charged original estimate! Ive already booked him for a 6-month check up in February 2019!

I have a Lester piano, built pre-World War II, that has been gathering dust in my house for months. It hadnt been tuned in maybe a decade when it came into my possession. Paul labored over this thing for hours and, despite its many issues, got it on its legs and sounding like new. If pianos speak a language, he is fluent.
