Mr. Kessler worked with me to find a date that was convenient for both of us. He arrived promptly and was very courteous and professional. I have a very old Baldwin piano that hasn't been tuned in several years. I let him know that when I made the appointment, and he said that he would try to get it tuned for the coupon price, but that it might mean extra work, especially if one of the strings broke. However, once he got here he said it wasn't as bad as I had feared, and was able to tune it completely within about an hour, and for the coupon price. I was very happy with the result, and would recommend him to anyone who need to have a piano tuned. He is competent, honest, courteous and easy to work with.
Description of Work: He tuned my piano under an Angie's List coupon which offered a standard tuning for $59, which is around half the usual price.

Actually, Steve Kessler's son did the tuning. After reading the reviews on Steve, I called him. After talking with him, he informed me that his son would be doing the tuning. I'm sure my piano is in tune, but since I don't play, I cannot give a professional opinion. He did tell me that my piano was very much in tune even though I had not had it tuned for several years, and he pointed out to me one key that was a little worn.
Description of Work: He tuned my piano using a device that measured the pitch of each key.

He arrived on time, worked quickly and quietly, and advised on optional repair work without any pressure. He just informed us of what was causing the problem, how to repair it, and if we wanted to do so. Because the problem seemed to be slight and we couldn't reproduce it that day, we decided to wait until it was a truly noticeable problem.

I was expecting Steve but his son appeared for the tuning with no prior notice to us. He used instruments to gauge adjustments and seemed to know what he was doing. I've never had a tuner before who didn't play the piano and test it out before leaving but he said he was going to learn to play. Since the piano doesn't get played often I'll assume it is OK. The price was very good.

Steve Kessler was the one who came out to do the work. He did a great job according to my daughter who plays the piano. She can tell the difference! He was easy to communicate with and sent an email confirmation of our appointment a couple of days before the work was done. I would work with him again and recommend him to others.

Mike arrived on time and did an excellent job tuning my piano. I had been negligent in getting it tuned regularly but Mike took his time and it sounds perfect now. I'd recommend him to anyone and I'll gladly have him back for the annual tuning.

We messed up the date and he was very accommodating about rescheduling. Very personable. My son is a musician and he watched Mr. Kessler and they talked throughout the tuning so my son could get an understanding of what it takes to be a piano tuner.

Steve Kessler was referred by a piano distributer in Chesterfield Valley. I live just West of Wildwood with a Pacific address. After 4 phone calls, Steve was the only one that would come out and tune my piano because everyone else panicked at the word and quot;Pacific.and quot; He had another appointment in Eureka so he was able to make his trip to both worthwhile. He was great! Very professional and went immediately to work. I will use him from now on and recommend him to anyone in the St. Louis area regardless of where you live to give him a call.

Excellent . I am very happy with the service, quality, promptness and price.
Description of Work: Steve Kessler tuned the piano and it had been quite a number of years since previously tuned so it was way out of tune . He also repaired a key that was not hitting properly. I called him and he returned my call the same afternoon. He set an appointment for approx two weeks from the date of my call. He arrived a few minutes early and got right to work on the piano. He told me exactly what he did to repair the problem key. My piano is a very old upright and it now has the beautifuol full, on key, sound it is supposed to. Now I will enjoy playing my piano again.
