He arrived on time. Appearance was neat and clean. Took the top off my baby grand piano and attached his electronic tuner. He manually tuned the piano with the help of the electronic tuner. He then got under the piano and reattached a heater I had that another piano tuner had removed years ago. Peter explained why in Florida it is a necessity to have this. He then cleaned the area he had been working in and left. He was efficient and the piano sounds great now. He did not try to sell me things I didn't need and understood that I will only use a tuner once a year. I would definitely plan to use him again next year and will share his name and contact information with my neighbors.
Description of Work: Tuned the piano and reinstalled my heater.

Mr. West responded immediately to my request for an appointment and accomodated my schedule. He was punctual, professional and performed the job after an explanation of the tuning process. Compared to piano tuners I have used in the past, his price was reasonable. He was honest about the status of the piano and I will happily use him again in the future.

I bought an old piano from a friend and Peter came and cleaned it, and repaired some of the keys that were stuck. He then tuned it (which takes an hour or so). It sounds so much better and will need a second tuning next week since it sat for years without being played. Peter is friendly and professional, and explained all he was doing while he worked. I am so glad to have found him on Angie's list because my and quot;oldand quot; piano sounds like a new one. If you need work on your piano....call Certified Piano Tuning....he knows what he is doing!!

We scheduled an appointment. He called the day before to confirm. When he arrived, it was on-time. He took some time to tell me about our piano and the process he goes through to tune it. He explained that sometimes pianos can be so far out of tune that it takes two tuning sessions to get it right. In our case, the single tuning was sufficient despite it being several years since the last tuning and a couple of cross-state moves. He seemed very knowledgeable and was very helpful; a true professional. I am glad that I found him. I feel that I have a piano tuner that I can rely upon. I will be calling him again.

I called to have the piano not only tuned but to address the player portion of the piano. He had a medical condition that did not allow him to go under the piano. The interior of the baby grand was also not looked at.
Description of Work: tuned piano, did not clean the interior of baby grand and could not fix the player portion due to his medical problem.

Response from Certified Piano Tuning & Repair
Unfortunately I was suffering from a very bad and rare case of vertigo on the day I visited Dr. [member name removed]. The problem with the player system was only accessible from below the piano and I was unable to get down on the floor and look up. If I had been given an accurate description of the player system, I would have told the customer that I was not trained in the maintenance and repair of the old players but that I would look at it as a courtesy. By listening to the system I was able to pinpoint the source of the offending sound but I'm not sure that I could have fixed the problem even if I could have gotten under the piano. The price for the tuning was quoted before the appointment was made and any concerns should have been expressed at that time. No prior request had been made for cleaning the interior of the piano and I do not recall it being mentioned when I was at the home. Cleaning is not part of my usual tuning visit and there is an extra charge for the service and special tools would need to be taken to the job. I deeply regret than Dr. [member name removed] and his wife were dissatisfied with my service.

Mr. West responded to my e-mail query in a timely manner. He agreed to travel a good bit further than his normal area in order to service my request. He called the morning to advise he was going to be a bit later than expected so I would not be waiting with uncertainty. He was pleasant and personable but got right to work and continued until finished some 5 hours later. He took time to explain what he was doing and provided some additional tips on how to clean, when to tune again, and the overall value of each piano. I was extremely pleased with the results as the tuning was long, long overdue . I would definitely call Mr. West again for this service and recommend him to anyone who needs piano tuning.
Description of Work: Mr. West tuned three pianos in my home in Clewiston, some distance out of his normal service area, which took almost 5 hours. In addition he made some repairs to a pedal as well as gluing some keys back on and provided some good advice on piano care.

Top Notch Five Star Service! Peter called the night before to confirm our appointment and arrived on time the following day. Not only was he prompt and fairly priced, he was extremely knowledgeable about piano and gave me a thorough lesson on the and quot;insideand quot; of the piano and the maintenance he was conducting. I highly recommend Peter West and will call him for future tuning.

I called Mr. West, he was polite and professional on the phone. We scheduled a date for tuning my piano. He called the prior evening to confirm and was on time the next day. He was knowledgeable and also educated me on the different parts of the piano. He was not rude like someone else I had called previously and made me feel very comfortable while he was there. I will definitely use his services again.

Description of Work: Mr. Peter West, my piano tuner, is an excellent professional. He tuned my Yamaha piano to my specifications and I am thrilled with its sound and responsiveness. Mr. West showed up on time, took his shoes off and proceeded to waste no time. He helped me move the piano away from the wall and he helped me remove items from atop the piano. He also recommended a highly competent piano refinisher. I could not be more satisfied with his marvelous service.

Certified comes to you to tune the piano. Certified has been coming for awhile to tune our piano. He has all of the equipment and is very thorough and does a good job. He is very personable and takes great care not to dirty up the furniture, he puts a towel down on the padded piano bench. He is organized and knows what he is doing. My ten year old daughter was interested in the piano and he took the time to explain everything to her. He also likes dogs, our dog is the only person he will go near.
Description of Work: Certified tunes my piano every 6 months.
