Ruth 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!

in my experience, the soundboard and inside of piano is cleaned/dusted as well.  She did not clean or dust at all.  Was disappointed in that because I do not like to touch the interior of the piano so that it doesn't get damaged.
Response from RUTH'S PIANO SVC
"Hello, Sorry to hear that you felt the service provided was not complete. I do wish you had mentioned this while I was there. I do offer a complete piano cleaning as an extra service which normally takes about an hour."

Ruth was prompt and professional. She tuned my piano and repaired a broken key.
I have asked her to return next year for a follow-up tuning.
I would highly recommend her to others.
