Piano Tuning

About us

I have had the honor to tune the MASON& HAMLIN grand piano for the local morning show Good Day Sacramento on Channel 31, affiliated with KXTV Channel 10, for Jim Brickman, the internationally renowned pianist who has sold millions of albums worldwide. The interview entitled "How To Tune A Piano" in which I appear was aired on February 17, 2010. www.basfordspianoservice.com.

The piano sounds wonderful not. Middle C was in still in tune after all of these years (thank you William Knabe) but the tuning was needed and now sounds great. I thought it would need two visits based on the wear and tear of moving and storage over the years but Keary told me that it wouldn't need another visit. He does not give a hard sell on his services and was delightful to have in our home.
Description of Work: William Knabe piano that has not been turned in years, has been moved several times and spent some time stored in a garage. Keary did great job of tuning the piano and talking to me about the quality and sound of the piano. I learned a lot about the piano that I had used as a child but had not used for decades. He is a delightful, cheerful, energetic professional who loves his work.

The before and after were remarkable. My wife was talking about purchasing a new piano as she was quite dissatisfied with our current upright piano. After the cleaning, adjustment, regulation and tuning it is like a new piano. She is delighted with the change and is practicing everyday now! I highly recommend Keary Basford.
Description of Work: Excellent service. On time, professional and knowledgeable. Fee was reasonable for the three visits to clean, adjust and tune our piano. Keary provided a detailed estimate with each line item and cost. Described why it was necessary to perform each task. During the process he showed the before and after of the adjustments, ie regulation, pull action, key dip, etc. it was not only a piano tuning it was a lesson in the components of how to tune a piano.

It went well.
Description of Work: Our piano was badly in need of tuning. He tuned it within the hour; it will take a second tuning, but he was right up front about it.

Keary Basford was very professional .... arrived on time and did a very thorough tuning on our piano which was really overdue..... it had been probably 5 + uears since we had had our piano tined. He didn't rush through the task.... spent a good amount of time to get our piano tuned properly.... it sounds beautiful now! I hightly recommend his services.

Keary and Bill were on time and very polite. The piano sounds great now.
Description of Work: Bill Hardy tuned my Boston console piano, which hadn't been tuned in over two years. Keary advised me on the scheduling for my next tuning for best maintenance based on the amount the piano it's played.
