The service was completed in two visits as my piano required extra attention as it had not been tuned in many years. Ken was punctual and very courteous. Completed the necessary work quickly and efficiently. Very happy to have my piano returned to pitch and no more sticking keys! Service made me very happy! I will continue his services for regular tuning, and he was nice enough to schedule reminders for me.
Description of Work: Full tuning, repositioning of springs and lubricating hammers.

It had been 3 years since we had it tuned last and we moved since then too. Ken said we needed to do a two-part tuning in order to get it up to snuff, so we hired him to come back in a few weeks to work on it again. It already sounds much better after the first round. He is a pleasure to work with
Description of Work: Ken is very professional, and did a great job with our baby grand. He knows his stuff.

Mr. Coleman was great! He called the night before my appt. to confirm, showed up right on time, and was very professional. He tuned my piano, fixed my keys and didn't try to sell me any services that I didn't need. I would definitely have Mr. Coleman tune my piano again.

This was a very good experience right from the start. I called Mr. Coleman to set up an appointment.. He returned my call within 10 minutes! We made an appointment . He called the night before to confirm the time and called to let me know when he was on the way. He was pleasant and shared interesting information about my piano. He was able to tell me how old it is. (It's over a 100 years old.) He suggested a second tuning as it had not been tuned for a few years. We will do that in the near future.
Description of Work: He was able to get some stuck keys loose enough to get sound from them when played. He tuned the piano.

He pointed out that the piano could benefit from some more extensive repairs (which I agreed with) but didn't try and push the extra work once I explained how rarely the instrument is used. Nice fellow and reliable.
Description of Work: Did a fine job and would recommend his services. He honored the Angies List coupon.

Excellent! Mr. Coleman promptly returned my call, and was able to easily accommodate an appointment time. He arrived on time and brought my badly out-of-tune piano to sounding wonderful is no time! I was informed of his reasonable prices on the phone, and he honored my $10.00 Groupon. I will gladly use his services again!

Mr. Coleman was punctual and courteous and did a fine job. I contacted him again for another tuning in July and will be using him from now on.
Description of Work: I have a temperamental Steinway that has been tuned two or three times a year for the past thirty-eight years. I was having trouble and decided to get a second opinion, so to speak. Mr. Coleman is a lovely man, did the best tuning the piano has had for many years, and charged less than my old tuners. He discovered something the others had overlooked or neglected about the piano's internal climate control system.

Ken called in advance to confirm appointment time, arrived on time and was very professional. The piano was old and purchased through a Goodwill store and needed some TLC. While Ken had it pulled apart, I took out the vaccumn and wanted to start to clean it and Ken offered to do the vaccumming. He then returned on a second occasion to fine tune the piano. Both occasions he was prompt and professional. There was no information available on the piano and when I asked Ken how old he thought it was, he got out his blue book to look up the serial number for us. He was prompt and professional and I will be calling him again in the future!

Ken called to confirm the appointment. He arrived on time and went right to work. He gave me a detailed explanation of what the piano needed and what would cost extra. I appreciated that he explained the extra costs as optional repairs that could wait or not be done at all depending upon my expected use of the piano. I opted to do the tuning and all repairs since the pricing was reasonable. He completed the job quickly and cleanly. The entire transaction was professional, polite, and efficient. I'll definitely use him for regular maintenance and recommend him to anyone.

Ken came to provide an initial tuning of our 30 year old Yamaha upright whihc had not been tuned in 5 years. He was prompt, courteous and efficient. He pointed out some other problems with the piano, but was careful to express that these could be repaired if the sound bothered us, but there was no pressure. When I called him for the follow up tuning, I arranged the other repairs as well. He came and removed the "action" of the piano and brought it to his shop to repair. Again, he handled all of this politely and efficiently. The piano sounds great after his repairs and followup tuning! We will certainly have Ken provide our routine maintenance going forward.
Description of Work: Tuning, then repair of return springs on Yamaha upright with followup tuning.

Mr. Coleman came to tune our upright Winter piano which had not been tuned in at least 5 years. He left a reminder voicemail message to confirm the appointment last night, and was on time today. The service took the expected 45 minutes. He came for the first of two planned visits today - a "pitch raising." I will be calling him again for the more detailed tuning appointment in the coming weeks. I received the $10 Angie's List Initial Visit discount.

Mr. Coleman was extremely professional. He called the night before to remind me of our appointment. He was running a little late on the morning of my tuning because of complications at the appointment before mine, but he called to let me know about it. The piano sounds great. He is an excellent piano tuner and a very nice man.

He was a really nice guy. He was very professional. I felt comfortable with him being alone in an empty house. He knew what he was doing and played the piano before he left. He explained everything and how it was done. He was a very sweet man.

Ken was very professional in his assessment and tuning of the piano. He came once to adjust the pitch and then again to fine tune. He answered some general questions and provided useful information while tuning. The piano now sounds better than ever with Ken's help. We will definitely be using him again.

I called Ken Coleman based on recommendations from Angie's List. I was pleasantly surprised to get an appointment within a week; Ken even came on Saturday to accommodate my work schedule. He called the evening before to remind me of the appointment. He was punctual, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable, explaining everything as he went along. I knew that originally this was not an expensive spinet, but Ken professionally pointed out it's strengths and weaknesses. Ken told me up front it would take two visits costing $85 each, and that's exactly what I paid! When he was finished, he even played some Christmas carols for my mentally challenged brother. What a guy!
Description of Work: Ken Coleman came to tune my 40-year-old piano. It had belonged to my late parents and had not been tuned in recent memory. As expected, it was flat by a half pitch. Ken came twice, once to raise the pitch, and a second time to fine tune. My piano now sounds beautiful!

It was easy to contact Ken. He was able to accommodate our schedule. We wished to find out something of the piano's value in order to sell it. He arrived on time, tuned the piano, and gave us an appraisal. He was was very personable, professional; and also told us a little about the action, and qualities of the Baldwin Acrosonic Spinet. He was scrupulous in pointing out both its good and bad points.
