Excellently. Michael was extremely professional, punctual, did a great job and had good suggestions about how to ensure that my baby grand piano remained in tip-top condition.

He's simply wonderful to work with. He found a humidifier for the piano so it doesn't lose its tune. The humidifier goes inside the piano to keep the felt and the keys from drying out. He's punctual and professional. He's even given me the name of a local piano teacher. I would highly recommend him.

Michael tuning my piano that recently made a move from Philadelphia and hadn't been tuned in over 20 years. He was very professional and the piano already sounds better. I plan on having him come every few months to work on it. He even gave me an angie's list discount. Very nice.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"Thanks so much for the review and the kind words. So glad you're piano is sounding better. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in February. Happy Holidays!"

Michael has been our piano tuner for a number of years. He is very dependable, accommodating, and professional. He calls to confirm and remind you of your scheduled tuning time. Michael arrives on time and ready to work. Our daughter took piano lessons for 14 years and he was our piano tuner at that time. when she left for college the piano was not used often, thus we stopped having it tuned. After retirement, I started lessons. The piano had not been tuned for 12 years. Michael returned, did his magic and the piano sounds wonderful. I highly recommend Michael.

Every three months, his mastery of piano tuning brings my Yamaha back in tune.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service

The appointment went very well, as it always does! Michael Lamkin has been servicing my piano for the past few years now, generally with biannual service visits (on account of the age and condition of my piano, he has performed extra work when advised). He has consistently provided excellent, high-quality service, always at a reasonable cost. I have worked with other piano servicers in the area and have found Michael's knowledge and commitment to be far superior. I have an older Steinway piano that requires an extra level of care and attention, and Michael has provided just that. He has shown himself to be professional, organized. friendly, honest and trustworthy. He came highly recommended by an old friend who has been a client of Michael's for many years, and I am grateful to her for her recommendation. My piano is a valued possession and it has been in excellent hands since Michael started taking care of it.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"Thank you for your very kind and detailed review. It has been my pleasure to service your piano for the past few years and a pleasure to get to know you. You are very kind as well as someone who really cares about their instrument. It makes the job worthwhile when your work is appreciated. It makes me happy when your piano makes you happy! Your older Steinway has been like a friend to me and I look forward to taking care of it in the future."

Michael Lamkin is a wealth of working knowledge about all sorts of pianos, old and new, high end and quotidian. He can take a 40+ old girl and make her sing with gorgeous notes again like new! Price very reasonable compared to other service providers, and, he can diagnose particular issues and help to restore color and vitality to particularly worn registers on your keyboard.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"Thanks so much! It is nice to be appreciated for the work you do and more importantly to know your client is happy and making music with their instrument. Thanks for your unique perspective on my services and may the 40+ girl sing well into her 50s, 60s and 70s!"

Michael has been tuning my piano twice a year for 12 years or so. He also tunes the 2 pianos at my church and my mother's piano, as well. He provides a professional service at a reasonable price.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"I appreciate your concise comments on my service. It is my pleasure to service your and your mother's pianos as well as the church pianos. You have all been wonderful clients for all these years and I always look forward to seeing you both. Thanks so much!"

I have a 90 year old Kranich and Bach that I had rebuilt last year. Michael was referred to me by my restoration company to tune the piano after the rebuilding project was complete. Michael has done a great job. He schedules appointments well in advance, always emails and calls to make sure we are "on schedule", shows up promptly and does a excellent job keeping the piano in tune.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"Thanks for such a nice review and for the great bullet points about my services! It's a pleasure to serve you and to take care of your grand piano. Looking forward to seeing you in January!"

Michael has tuned our piano for twenty plus years. He does a great job making our antique-ish family piano sound fabulous! As my husband and I are very involved in music, it is important for us to have our piano perform well. BTW... Michael is friendly, prompt, flexible and is ALSO a great musician himself!
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"Thanks so much for the nice review. It's a particular pleasure to serve working musicians such as yourself knowing that you appreciate having it right! Also thanks for the kind words about me and my musicianship. I look forward to many more years of knowing you and taking care of your piano."

For many years I have had my piano serviced every 3 months by Michael Lamkin. Michael has always provided an excellent job in every respect and more than once he has discovered and corrected a developing problem that I had been unaware of. He is a very good technician, a thorough worker and a pleasure to deal with.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"It is MY pleasure to take care of your piano. Nice to know that I can keep your piano happy since you are such a lover and player of the instrument. It is my job to keep on top of the little things that show up to me before they get bigger, so thanks for pointing that out! Also thanks so much for the review!"

"Thanks for the concise review. I appreciate that you pointed out my evaluation services. I try to be as complete as I can with every piano that I evaluate and take my time really looking over everything (and a little pondering too)! Thanks again truly for the kind words."

We find him to be proficient and reliable. He always calls a few days in advance to confirm the date and time and ALWAYS shows up when he says he will. He's also a musician and my husband and I have enjoyed seeing him play at different restaurant venues around the Albany region.
Response from Michael T Lamkin Piano Service
"Sorry that this was a little late in coming. But it took me awhile to realize that I'd had a listing on Angie's List! Thanks so much for the nice review and it is my pleasure to service your piano over the last now 12 years and to maintain your piano climate control system. It's always a pleasure to see you and your husband and am grateful for your trust in me."
