Description of Work: I don't quite understand why I may need an additional "extra"tuning soon. I understand my piano was way out of tune but perhaps the next person on the list may have included this more complete tuning for his price of $135. As I recall in the past tuning took way longer that one hour, though this may be because Ruth is a very competent professional and my last piano tuner was not. All being said she was an efficient and punctual provider with a great degree of confidence in what she was doing.

+ 0 moreRuth also comes equipped to handle all sorts of issues. To replace the wire, she had to move the entire piano and put a significant part 'on its side' for lack of a better description. She does a great job and I would recommend her to everyone!
Description of Work: Ruth is an excellent piano tuner. She has had extensive training and it shows. The most recent tuning she did for us was the result of purchasing an online coupon. We had her tune our piano several years ago and she had done an excellent job then. This time she discovered that there was a 'wire' in the piano that had snapped, and needed replacing. She took care of ordering, delivering and installing it in short order.

Description of Work: Ruth tuned, cleaned and repaired the piano which turned out to be over 70 years old. She had to tune the piano twice because of the memory in the piano internal mechanisms. Two strings were broken which we scheduled for replacement at a later date. We were very happy with results. The piano sounds beautiful. She played six concert level piano renditions on the piano which was very impressive.

Description of Work: Ruth has tuned my daughter's piano twice now. She does a great job and has even found the cause of a problem that our previous tuner never did. She has great communication with my daughter so as to address any concerns regarding the piano, and takes the time to show and explain what she is doing. We are very satisfied with her work and would freely recommend Ruth's Piano Service!

piano tuning
+ -1 moreOne of the best in the business. Ruth arrived on time with all the necessary tuning tools and went right to work. She was very professional and showed me things about my piano, which I have had for over 45 years, that I never knew were there. In addition to tuning the piano, she also adjusted the foot pedal, which had not been done by any previous piano tuners. As I have my piano placed in front of a radiator, Ruth suggested a type of heat shield for the back of the piano. I would highly recommend Ruth's Piano Service to anyone who needs to have their piano tuned.

+ -1 moreShe seemed to know my disklavier piano and any perculiarities it might present. She gave a slip with a report on the humidity of the piano and nice touch in case something happens and you have to prove a warranty. (Mine is way out of warranty). Efficient. Piano was not out of tune much so can't judge the tuning completely.

piano tuning
+ -1 moreMy Yamaha upright piano had stood virtually unused for 3-4 years. It really needed major TLC. A friend put me in touch with this piano technician, Ruth Van Dine. Instead of spending the whole day as expected, the technician was able to complete a thorough job in 1/2 day, so the anticipated price was cut in half. I'm so pleased with my "new" piano. It looks and sounds happy. Friends will be dropping by soon for a demonstration.
Description of Work: The technician performed the following services: -- cleaned outside surfaces (including keys) and vacuumed inside -- with no hesitation, competently removed case parts and action (hammer mechanism) for maintenance -- tightened screws on action parts -- checked regulation of pedals and action -- finally reassembling the piano -- repaired nicks in the finish
