piano tuning
 + -1 moreMr. Powell was punctual and professional, and very easy to talk to. I inherited an amazing Steinway that is currently being used for a budding musician's practice piano - Mr. Powell completed a thorough tuning, giving suggestions for what could be done to get the piano into concert ready condition, but not pushing us to do any work that wasn't necessary for our current level of use. He also spent time repairing the music desk, which was in need of some TLC. He was a pleasure to work with in every way.
Description of Work: Tuning and general TLC of my 130 year old Steinway B.

piano tuning
 + -1 moreNot only did Sam Powell do all of the above in a very short period of time--a little over one day--but he attended the concert--free of charge--to be available if anything went wrong and to ensure the success of the concert. The concert was magnificent! Sam Powell is obviously an expert in his field and dedicated to his work. He takes pride in what he does, In my opinion, Sam Powell is incomparable in his field.
Description of Work: We were lent a Steinway piano for a concert. When the pianist, William Chang, practiced on it, he discovered that the piano was out of tune and that keys were sticking. I was desperate. How were we going to have a piano concert for 250 people with a piano in this condition? Sam Powell saved the day. The services he performed include the following: 1) hardened hammers for more tone 2) shaped hammers to remove grooves 3) trimmed excess felt 4) spaced strings and hammers so they matched each other 5) replaced one defective damper 6) set hammer strikes distance from strings for all 88 hammers 7) set escapement distance of hammer from strings for all 88 hammers 8) squared travel hammer and shanks in top two sections of piano 9) adjusted drop on all 88 hammers 10) tuned piano to A440 11) adjusted repetition strings on hammers 12) voiced hammers for smoother. more round tone per pianists wishes, etc.
