It went much better than I thought. Denis arrived (early even!) and went quickly to work. He loosened up the keys and tuned the entire piano twice. He was also frank about the fact that, given the amount of tuning that was done, the piano probably will go back out of tune in 6-12 months (which I already knew ). And, he did all this in around 90 minutes (I thought it would take quite a bit longer). I was very happy with the entire experience.
Description of Work: Had an older console piano that really needed some attention. Keys were sticking and the whole thing was out of tune.

Denis was very prompt and efficient. He made several calls to confirm times and dates. He was very pleasant and professional. He did what he said he'd do and appears to have done a fine job. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again for this service.

Denis came and tuned our piano in early December, without any fuss.
Description of Work: Denis was able to come and tune our piano within a week of my call. He arrived on time, tuned the piano quickly and efficiently. My previous tuner always played for a few minutes after he tuned, which I enjoyed, but Denis did not do that. Our piano had not been tuned for some time, but required no special treatment. (Baby grand Yamaha.) I'm happy with the results.

He was timely in doing what he needed to. He was very accommodating, and he answered any questions that I had directly. He seemed to be very knowledgeable, and he told me about the services he would be doing. He sent his technician out before we even paid him. He was very trusting of me. My daughter hasn t had him come out and do the tuning yet.

Denis tuned the upright piano twice, as is his custom with pianos that haven't been tuned in awhile. We had the piano in our home for 25 years and never had it tuned. Denis fixed a couple of stuck keys and replaced some felt contact pads. When the work was finished, my son telephoned and left a musical answering machine message. He sounded very happy with the results.
Description of Work: I contacted Denis to tune my son's piano(it was a Christmas gift to my son). Denis contacted my son and set up an appointment on a Saturday afternoon. He showed up exactly on time and performed the tuning. He actually tuned the piano and then tuned it again, something he said he does if a piano hasn't been tuned for a long period . My son was very pleased with the results.

Denis was so prompt he must have been waiting outside our house to ring the bell! (Kidding...) He has a pleasant, knowledgeable attitude from his years at this tuning profession. All the work was accomplished in three visits (see above) and we were only without the working piano overnight because he picked up the keyboard one day and returned it with the hammers all sanded (or "voiced") early the next day. The one flaw in our pleasure is that we queried him about removing kitty paw prints from the lid of the piano. Well, in trying to help, Denis gave us a bottle of "Cory AllBrite", a solution to be applied sparingly with the requisite clean, soft cloth. You probably guessed it: a smidge of the stuff caused the finish to get cloudy, which no rubbing removes. Denis said he has used it for years and never had a problem with it. He did recommend a couple (antique) furniture refinishers. We will be having one visit us to see what can be done, on our "dime." ;-(
Description of Work: Denis visited the first time to tune the baby grand piano my husband has played on all his life: 60+ years. We had recently moved from L.O. to West Linn and one of the first appointments we set up was for a tuner. My husband wanted extra work performed beyond tuning and Denis said that he could take the keyboard mechanism and sand the hammers -- which had never been done since the purchase in 1940. The pedals also needed adjustment. In all, three appointments were necessary to complete this collection of work. Dennis has all the tools to do an excellent job.

Denis did an excellent job tuning my Kimball piano. He was quick and efficient, and got to work right when he got here. He is courteous and friendly. I felt very comfortable having him in my home. The piano sounds really great now and the keys seem more springy and reactive. It had been a long time since it was tuned, so Denis tuned it twice, using the second tuning as a fine tuning. He also fixed a key that would always stick anytime it was pressed. I was able to get an appointment with him within a week of calling and am amazed at how quickly the whole task was taken care of. I am very happy with his work and recommend him highly.

Denis Wilkinson did an excellent job on voicing and tuning my grand piano. The piano is 20 years old and has never been voiced. The felts needed filing and reshaping. Denis took the entire keyboard and hammer section to his studio to perform the work, as filing and shaping is a messy job creating lots of dust. I am delighted with the results. After he replaced the action he tuned it. The tone of the piano is vastly improved, and the piano sounds more like it did when I first got it, rich, full,bass, and has wonderful clarity in the treble. He also vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned the inside of the piano, leaving it spotless. Denis is very professional, and I highly recommend him.
