Rick Banning

Rick showed up right on time and although I thought he was just going to give me an estimate and we'd have to then schedule a second appointment, after looking the piano over he ended up tuning it and taking care of the minor repairs same day. It now sounds as good as ever. He was friendly and a real pleasure to work with and much cheaper than I was expecting.

Rick arrived as scheduled and did a very good job. He was thorough and personable.

Rick was very punctual and did a great job for us! I would use him again.

It was a good experience. Rick really knows what he is doing.

He was very very good. He was excellent, thorough, professional and reasonable. My piano had not been tuned for over 20 hours, and so he had been here for over 2 hours, and so I thought the price was very reasonable. He was knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

Excellent service - very thorough. I think he's the best in KC.

It took him probably about an hour to do the work. He had a lot of good reviews and knew the person who previously did our work who retired. Rick did a good job. I would tell someone to expect good work.

Rick was great. I highly recommend him, even on the phone when I could not remember the exact name of my piano when I gave the first two letters HE KNEW it!!! Bless him, he got the flu and had to reschedule our appointment and was so super nice on the phone even though you could tell he was not well. We rescheduled and he was right on time and made a piano that had recently been moved sound fantastic again! I had no problem welcoming him into my home and will certainly use him again and on a regular basis for tune ups!

The piano had not been tuned for over 7 years and during that time had been moved from Denver to Overland Park. Rick spent a lot of time and care on the tuning. Now the piano sounds great.

He was very pleasant and punctual. I felt safe having him in our house. He evaluated our piano and pointed out some interesting facts about it. He told me the approximate age, limitations, and pointed out some unique qualities it has. He gave me some great advice about future piano purchases. He was very honest about what he can do given the age/condition of the piano. He charged me very fairly according to what services he felt were appropriate given the age/condition of the piano. The result is fantastic. My son loves it and it sounds wonderful.

Rick returned my phone call promptly and scheduled my appointment within a week. He was courteous, professional, friendly, and efficient, and while I don't know a lot about tuning pianos, he seemed to be very thorough in his process, going through all the keys twice and checking very carefully for accurate tuning. He also gave me some advice about not letting the humidity level drop too low during the winter. The piano sounds great, and I will definitely use Rick in the future.

Basic tuning of the piano. Sounds great!

Very pleased with his attention detail and responsiveness.

Rick is prompt and efficient, he is pleasant to work with and gives excellent advice on the care and upkeep of your piano.

We had him come and tune our piano. We thought we had a repair issue which turned out to be very, very minor. We had a key that looked like it was broken during the move but it was a screw had come loose and it had slipped behind the hammer and he took it out. He did not charge us for it. He was very honest. He expected it to be very out of tune as it had not been tuned for over 10 years. He thought he would need to tune it and then come back in 6 months to tune it again. He was very amazed that it was so well tuned. He was very honest about it, we wouldn't have known. He told us that we didn't need to see him again in a year. He just charged us for the tune. He is very personable and he knew his craft very well.

Rick did a great job. He arrived on time, got the job done, and I'm very happy with the result.

Rick was fantastic! My grand had been moved 4 times in the last 3 years, without tuning in between... so it really needed it! It also needed adjustments to the lyre/pedals. As it's an old piano (1922 Christman), he looked it over from top to bottom and made adjustments throughout as needed, and was pretty creative in making the pedal adjustments where original connecting parts were missing, effectively fixing them! He was fast, knowledgeable and very pleasant, and above all, did a fantastic job at a very, very reasonable cost! Thank you, Rick!

Rick was prompt, very nice, very knowledgeable about the piano. He talked with me about a few repairs that he wanted to do prior to him doing those repairs. He did a very thorough job. His prices are very reasonable. My piano was in very good hands. The piano sounds wonderful now and I will definitely recommend him to friends. Rick is Very Good!

I contacted Rick via email. He responded with his phone number so I called him and we set up an appointment date. He gave me a rough idea on the phone of what the cost would be to tune the piano but wasn't able to give an exact quote until he saw the piano. He arrived on time, gave me a quote and after I ok'd the price he tuned the piano the same day. All went well with the tuning and we will use Rick in the future.

We had no idea if the piano was of any value or if it could be used by our daughter, a beginning piano student. He patiently explained the general knowledge we needed to be piano owners and provided a good deal of information on the care and cleaning of the piano. We will use his services again. We would not hesitate to recommend him.

He arrived on time and was very professional. I highly recommend him.

He did a great job start to finish.

Rick did an excellent job. He needed to take a part to repair at his house and brought it back promptly.

Job went excellent. I was pleased with the work.

Rick came to tune our piano which had not been tuned in probably 5 years. He spent over 1.5 hours on it. He noticed when he first examined the piano that the back support of the music rack had broken off. I mentioned that, yes, I did know that had broken off, and it was pretty far down my list of things To Do, kind of joking. Later on, I went down stairs to check on him, and he said he had some wood glue with him and he would glue it back on with clamps for a few minutes. Definitely above and beyond. Would highly recommend.
