Seemed rushed and not thorough so after he left I spent a few moments checking his work with a chromatic tuner. Many notes were so far out of the pitch sensor range that I knew his tuning would not last. I called him immediately and let him know but he had no interest in coming back to make adjustments. Sure enough 6mo later the piano is out of tune and he 3-4 keys that stick. Poor work and poor customer service for a $175 fee.

Response from PETER D. TARKOFF
I did look this customer up in my records and I actually serviced his piano in April of last year. From what I can remember I raised the pitch of his piano quite dramatically and explained how there is an almost immediate process that begins of string stretching and reversion. All I can say is I couldn't have been as bad he says because he called me back last week to have me come out and do it all again as if everything was fine. Unfortunately I couldn't schedule him in a timely way so he writes this review a year after the fact, puzzling

Very well - see above.
Description of Work: We are storing - and using - an older piano for some friends who have no place for it for a year. It had not been used nor tuned for many years and had been in storage - it was clearly out of tune, some keys were sticking, and we were unable to close the keyboard cover. Peter tuned the piano, fixed the sticky keys, loosened the keyboard cover so it could be used, and gave us clear explanations for two options for tuning.
