He was always on-time, he keeps current, he actually had a new technique when he came up this last time. He can repair as he tunes. He brings with him what he needs just to make minor repairs.
Description of Work: He completely tuned the piano and repaired a problem with one of the pedals.

Ron arrived only 20 minutes late, which we didn't mind because he started right away and was such a fabulous tuner. Ron was entirely professional, courteous, presentable and friendly, and is exceptionally well experienced and highly knowledgeable. We had picked up a good deal on a friend's used piano she had not been tuned for years. It was badly out of tune. As is typical in such cases, the pitch had to be raised back to the A440 standard. Ron spent an hour and a half going over and over it until it was just right and made beautiful music. Yet he still just charged the flat rate and $50 for the pitch raise. Ronald is a Registered Piano Technician (see www.ptg.org). We also really liked that he is an ideal combination of classic piano tuner (having been doing it for over 35 years), yet is highly technical and up-to-date. We could hardly believe how wonderfully it turned out, after only 1 tuning! We are thrilled with the service and will definitely use him from now on.
Description of Work: General tuning ($100); raising the pitch to the A440 standard ($50).

He arrived exactly on time and was able to schedule a late afternoon appointment within a week or two of my first calling. He also gave me suggestions for piano teachers in the area.
Description of Work: Roland tuned a piano that had not been tuned in at least 5 years. He also fixed the pedals which were loose and sticking.

Outstanding. Ron came to the house, spent 2 hours working the piano (a 1970's Yamaha), while the piano was in generally good shape, it had been moved in the last year and not tuned. Ron also came back a week later to tweak the F below middle C for me (where the strings change). He was gracious and personable.

I bought a Baldwin Acrosonic for $75, made in 1943. It is now very playable, not perfect because of its neglect, but a six-month re-tune will help. I agree completely. He brought it up to enjoyment level and for that, I am most pleased and grateful.
Description of Work: Mr. Berry tuned and voiced my piano, something that took extra effort because it had not been tuned for at least 20, if not 30, years. There were a key or two that were stuck and the kinds of things that happen when a piano is so neglected.

Ron Berry was about 15 minutes late, which was okay with me. He did a great job at tuning our piano which hadn't been tuned for several years (we recently inherited it). He explained why certain keys are more apt to get out of tune quickly. He did a fine job and spent about 1 hour tuning. He charged me more than I had expected, from my talk with Angie's list. I didn't think to ask him if his prices had gone up, or tell him what I had been told by Angie's list.
