Alan Preston-Piano Specialists (Tuning/Repair)

Alan meticulously tuned our spinet in our home. We were delayed in meeting him but he was communicative and professional in spite of the frustration we caused. I am very glad we found him and will use him regularly when tuning is needed. Highly recommended.

I was very impressed with the service I received. My piano sounds like new again. It had been too long since it had been tuned and I was expecting that it would not sound as good as new and therefore was pleasantly surprised. I most definitely will hire them againl.

Great. Michael Preston is excellent and very professional. I will use his services again. Highly recommend him.

I was very satisfied with Michael's professionalism, politeness, quality of work, promptness and price for what was done.

Very pleased, he was friendly and professional. Piano plays and sounds clearly better after his visit than before. I will definitely call him next time we need work on the piano.

Very well....arrived on time and got to work immediately. Reviewed with me what had been done and what additional things would make the piano play better.

Michael Preston was very courteous, professional and did a great job! He inspected the piano, gave me a quote and did the work with no issues. His quote matched the final total. I will use him again.

Michael was prompt and courteous, doing a thorough inspection of our turn of the century studio-sized upright. We purchased it from a family who had multiple generations learning to play on the instrument, but it had sat dormant for quite some time. Two prior tuning sessions from a different company only held for a few days before many notes dropped significantly out of tune.
Michael took the time to find that all of the pegs were loose, and the quick to drop out of tune notes were just the loosest of them all. He proposed a chemical treatment to tighten up the wood fibers around the peg. He found two missing strings, some mechanical issues in a few places, and some unconventional work done on one of the pedals. He thoroughly explained each of the issues found and how they were impacting the playability and sound.
I decided to go forward with all of the suggested repairs, and he worked through the afternoon into the evening past business hours in order to complete the job.
He was extremely polite, and his knowledge clearly came through in his work. He even graciously accepted a bit of "help" from one of our curious cats and even a bit of investigation from two curious but suspicious 10-month-old dogs.
I'm incredibly happy to find such a talented resource for my piano, after the two previous failed tuning sessions, I was beginning to despair of finding a good professional to rely on. Despair not, Michael is a gem of a find!

Michael Preston did an excellent job and went out of his way to ensure service was provided prior to the holidays even though called just a few days before Christmas. I highly recommend this company.

Michael was very kind, professional and knowledgeable. I was a little apprehensive about finding a piano tuner and repair person as I'm new to the area and don't know many people. I found Alan Preston Piano Specialists on Angieslist.com and could not be happier! He was meticulous with every detail during the repair and gave me honest recommendations on repairs that were worth the price considering my piano was so old. He spent 4 hours working on my piano and I'm so happy with the repair and the sound! Considering the age of my piano and that it hadn't been tuned or played in many years, I can't believe how good it sounds! I have found the piano tuner and repair company that I will use for years to come. Great guy, great company, great service.
