Service was great, Trustworthy, Honest, Prices are fair, Will tell you the exact problem and fix it. Advised the amt of work needed to be done. Knows his business. Can give a honest appraisal.

Chris showed up on time, was neat, lively and engaging. He's very knowledgeable and shared some tuning nuances with me - very interesting. As much an art as a science. Our piano had not been tuned well the last time. Chris showed me how some strings were flat, others sharp, particularly in the higher octaves. The sound was tons better and we could hear the difference immediately. We now love our piano even more. I recommend him unreservedly. The only mild negative was that the tuning took longer than we thought, which might have been an issue if one of us hadn't been able to stay home. I think it must have taken an hour or so, but I'm glad he took his time to get it right. I thought the price was reasonable given the amount of adjustment required and the quality of Chris' work.

We set an appointment but he never even showed up! He was very difficult to deal with, and unreliable.he sent me a message saying he was on his way to the appointment, but then never showed up because he got angry that I did not respond to that message. Didn't realize there was even a questionnaire! Also, I asked them to quote a price and he ignored my request.

Very professional and pleasant. He is allergic to cats but came prepared with a mask and didn't seem to mind. Complimented me on the condition of the piano since it has been moved twice, this last time was across country. Very pleased !!

I followed his advice and it worked great. He definitely knows his line of work. Thank you again!

Mr. Carranza evaluated our Steinway B grand piano in detail. He presented us with an honest review of its condition. He told us the facts about this 90 year old classic, and gave us options for repair and maintenance. He answered questions as we made decisions on how to proceed. He has had much experience with Steinways and other outstanding pianos. I will use his services again when the need arises. Excellent!

Chris showed up on time and tuned the piano twice with about 30 minutes in between. He really knows his stuff!

Chris arrived at the agred upon time and went right to work. My piano is an electric player and I had figured I was only going to get a tuning and that no one would get the player working again (at least for a decent price). So I had decided to just get it tuned. Chris not only tuned the piano, but was able to figure out what the problem was with my player. WOW! What a wonderful surprise and for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend for your piano tuning and repair needs. I will definitely use him again!

Excellent service, expert repair and tuning. Could not be more satisfied. Extremely courteous and friendly.

He did a very good job on the piano, and also a very good job explaining how and why he did what he did. We will use him again.

My piano is a Steinway (Aeolian Duo-Art) grand piano that has been in our family for 80 years. It had not been tuned in several years and also had a broken string, so I was looking for a piano tuner that specialized in Steinway pianos. I selected Christopher Carranza because he had excellent Angie's List reviews (and top reviews on other www review sites) and his web site confirmed his qualifications for working on Steinways. He arrived right on time and with the necessary equipment to complete the job in one visit. He was very neat and clean and friendly, but also very professional and after a few questions got right to work fixing the broken string and tuning the piano. He also went and quot;above the call of dutyand quot; to try and locate the and quot;Steinwayand quot; serial number of the piano because I had told him I had not been able to find it. He removed several pieces where the serial number might be located in a hidden spot, but, it still could not be found. He then called his business partner and learned that my particular (Aeolian/Steinway) piano most likely did not have the typical number but instead probably had the Aeolian 4-digit number (which Christopher had found in several places). He wrote he number down and gave it to me and suggested the next step might be to follow-up with a call to Steinway. He put everything back together and then played a nice little tune to demonstrate the and quot;fixand quot; was done. I thought his cost was very reasonable as he was working on the piano for several hours.

He was very good. He knew what he was doing and he did a good job. He didn't mess around and got right to it. I thought it was a little pricey, but I was happy with the service.

Chris is a great guy and very professional. I needed to find a piano tuner since my recent move to Long Beach and Angie's List came through for me again. I chose Chris because he had received a number of very favorable reviews from other Angie's List members. After seeing Chris' excellent work and spending some time with him, I completely agree with all the reviews and I give him an A+ across the board!

He was able to fit us in the next business day after we requested his services. I was not home when he was there, my wife was, but he was fun to work with and explained clearly what he was doing. He later called me to discuss his work and make his recommendations and observations. He was affable, knowledgeable, and we plan to use him next time we need a tech.

Chris completed the appraisal on a very timely basis -- and provided the appraisal via email and snail mail. It passed muster with my CPA, and my former employer who signed off on the IRS form 8283. I would definitely utilize Chris Carranza Piano Services again.

Chris was great - highly recommended. We have a 9' grand piano that had recently broken a string, and it was also in need of a regular tuning. I wanted to have it done on fairly short notice, and because of our schedule it could only be done on a weekend. Even though it was a busy time around the holidays, Chris was able to schedule the job on a Saturday 3 days before Christmas. He showed up on time and did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. Very knowledgeable and professional, but also casual and friendly. We will use his service regularly from now on.

Our piano sounds better then new, the tuning corrected everything. He is totally qualified for the tuning, and is also a great piano player as well. His fast, courteous service on very short notice was greatly appreciated. We would not hesitate in recommending Mr. Carranza.ything.

Christopher was professional on the phone discussed what it would likely cost and what would be required for a piano which hadn't been tuned in a while (double tuning). He indicated that it would cost $195 (which was accurate). I was able to schedule him during my lunch hour within the week (big plus) and he indicated that he could be at my home within a half hour window (which he was). He did a fine job, making sure I was clear on what he was doing and what would be involved. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.

Excellent service. We live close to the ocean and Mr. Carranza has offered to come by again soon to make sure everything is still in tune at no charge.

Mr. Carranza is very personable and knowledgeable about pianos. The visits were pleasant - I would recommend him.

He’s a very pleasant person. He’s very efficient and I am completely satisfied.
