Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
“Just had to come on and write a review about Tom! He just tuned my childhood piano, which had not been tuned in many years. He spent a lot of time and was super professional and nice. He shared piano teacher recommendations and interesting trivia about our particular piano that we had been unaware of. I thought the price was more than fair even without all the time and excellent attention he gave our piano! Also appreciated that he responded promptly to all communications and was exactly on time. Very pleased with the service. Thanks so much Tom!”

5-Star Online Review: Alane A., Bozrah, CT: “Tom was very professional and personable. He even had recommendations for a piano teacher near me. I would definitely hire him again. This customer rated you highly for punctuality, professionalism, responsiveness, and work quality.”

5-Star Online Review: Rachael G., Old Saybrook, CT   “Tom was phenomenal. He is a clear communicator so it is easy to schedule with him. He arrived on time and did thoughtful, detail-oriented work on both repairs and tuning. The piano sounds better than I imagined it ever could! This customer rated you highly for work quality, professionalism, responsiveness, value, and punctuality.”

“Hi Tom,
Thanks again for the excellent job you did with my piano. Your kindness and attention to detail are really appreciated. Looking forward to you taking care of the piano for years to come.”

5-Star Google Online Review:
Udi P., New Haven, CT   “Tom Dans is an excellent, highly professional and qualified piano tuner. Tom did a wonderful job tuning our baby grand piano: After assessing its condition, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the manufacturer and model (Sterling pianos), he did a very thorough job, spending a couple of hours bringing it up to great condition. Tom also referred us to an excellent repair technician and explained to us exactly what were the issues which had to be taken care of. If you are looking for a piano tuner in Connecticut, I highly recommend working with Tom Dans.”

5-Star Yelp Online Review:
D., New Haven, CT:   “The best. Tom is not only an excellent tuner – highly skilled, precise, thorough, and efficient – but also deeply knowledgeable about piano mechanics, construction, and history. I greatly enjoyed our conversation as he set to work. He completed his standard twice-over tuning in good time. Our piano sounds better than ever.”

 

Q: How do we achieve a perfect piano tuning in 2023?

A: By using today’s most advanced piano tuning techniques:

Every single piano is unique, with individual design characteristics and scaling that determine how it needs to be tuned.

Instead of imposing a preset piano tuning on an instrument, I measure each piano’s inharmonicity with the new Sanderson Accu-Tuner IV. This state-of-the-art professional technology does the math to solve the physics puzzle within the tension-compression system that is a piano. The result is a custom calculated tuning specific to your piano for an absolutely perfect fit. I guarantee that it will be the best and sweetest-sounding tuning your piano has ever had. For those who are interested, this technique is easy to demonstrate in person.

If you watch me tune, you’ll see that I use the piano factory tuning method of plucking the strings, instead of banging on the keys. In piano factories, the strings are tuned before the action is installed. This plucking technique is called ‘chipping’, and the name derives from the wood chips used to pluck the strings for tuning in early piano factories. Today, we use a plastic guitar pick for the same purpose. Tuning this way is more accurate and is gentler on your piano than banging the keys repeatedly, as many tuners do. A single sharp strike of the key, called a ‘test blow’, is sufficient to test the unisons and do the final ‘setting’ of the tuning pins.

“Debra Mason is very personable and thoroughly professional. Her wealth of experience and excellent training are evident in her specialty –piano tuning as well as in the general care and overall maintenance of the instrument. I consider her fees to be extremely modest for the reliable and meticulous service she offers, exceeding all expectations!”

Lori F.
“Deb did a wonderful job on my “new” used piano that hadn’t been tuned for years, a tough job. She’s friendly, thorough, and highly competent.”

Dawn R.
“When I taught piano at a music school in Woodbridge several years ago, Deb was the only tuner we employed. She’s a fantastic tuner and a really nice person as well. Very mellow & laid back; a pleasure to work with and always flexible with scheduling. :D”

Yahoo! Local review:
“Debra Mason has tuned my piano throughout a 22 year period and I would never trust my beloved instrument with anyone else. She has an incredible ear and my piano sounds so bright and precise. Her sunny personality makes her a pleasure to do business with. She is in high demand, BUT SO WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Debra carries on a legacy of fine tuning as her father, the late Vernon Urtel, passed his fine ear and talent to her.”

New Haven, CT Yelp User Online Review: Meagan F., New Haven, CT
“Tom from Piano Island Tuning came over to tune my piano, and he is wonderful. First, the price is great. Second, Tom was courteous from the moment I contacted him until the moment he left the house. Third, he’s honest — my piano is old and needed a repair, and rather than tune the piano poorly and charge me for the time, he refused payment for this tuning and referred me to an associate of his who does repairs. This was a smart move, since now I will call him for every tuning for as long as I’m in New Haven.”  Yelp Review

“Tom was so prompt getting back to me right away and recommending Greg Cole to do the tuning, as I thought I needed a big repair done from a recent move before I had the piano tuned. Greg was also prompt-fit me right into his schedule and even showed up early at my request. He quickly and easily fixed what I feared would be a big job and then expertly tuned the piano back to perfect pitch!”  Our Yelp reviews:  Yelp Reviews of Piano Island Tuning

“Tom was simply amazing! We bought a used Wurlitzer piano that hadn’t been played in over eight years. After three hours, Tom brought the piano back to life. It sounds brand new!!! We are so happy! Tom was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I’d recommend him to everyone!! Thank you, Tom!!!”

“We are so lucky to have found Piano Island Tuning! Tom has helped bring an old piano that came with our house back to life and we are supremely grateful. He is knowledgeable and meticulous, and we look forward to seeing him regularly to keep our piano sounding sprightly.”

“I am so happy to have found Tom of Piano Island Tuning. He did a thorough and beautiful job of tuning our piano. I appreciate the care and dedication he brought to his work. Look no farther, Tom is who you should hire.”

Online Review on Nextdoor.com: Ed D., Spring Glen, CT
“Tom does a really superb job. I am somewhat hard to please on intonation, and I don’t think I have ever heard my piano sounding this great – and I’ve been having it tuned for 35 years. He is a perfectionist and as others have pointed out, if he sees some small thing that needs repair he tends (if possible) just to take care of it. Cannot recommend him more highly for quality of his work. And he stands by his work. What a concept.”

5-Star Online Review: American Ballroom Dance Center, Springfield, MA
“This gentleman is the Consummate Professional. He was right on time for our appointment and worked steadily until we were both pleased with the result of his piano tuning skills. I would recommend this man to anyone needing their piano tuned. Very pleased, Richard J. LaBrie. This customer rated you highly for work quality, professionalism, punctuality, value, and responsiveness.”

5-Star Online Review: Lauren P., Shelton, CT
“Tom was great! It was evident he has a real passion for what he does and put in the time and effort to make sure the piano sounds as good as new! Our piano was extremely out of tune and I’m shocked at how incredible it sounds when he was done working on it! Any questions I had he was able to answer with no hesitation and he even taught me a few things about my piano I had no idea about! Will definitely be using him again for future tunings! Highly recommend & great price!”

5-Star Online Review: Elizabeth P., Westport, CT
“Tom took the time to really work on my piano that had not been tuned in years. He was patient, thorough, and explained all he did. I can highly recommend Tom, and will to all who need a real pro.

5-Star Online Review: Frank H., Hamden, CT
“Tom arrived at my home to tune my 22-year-old Yamaha piano that hadn’t been tuned in at least 15 years. He was punctual, which I like, and dedicated to doing a first-class job. He put in three hours tuning my piano and ensuring that everything was right. I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. I will use him again for my next tune-up (which will certainly be sooner than 15 years) and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a piano tuned. Very personable guy. This customer rated you highly for work quality, professionalism, responsiveness, punctuality, and value.”

“Overall Excellent
I am thoroughly satisfied with Piano Island Tuning. For a very reasonable fee, Tom Dans not only brought my piano back to life, but also patiently explained how it works and advised me about its history. I have found my piano tuner!”

4-Star Online Review: Kathy B., Clinton, CT
“Tom arrived on time and immediately began his evaluation of our piano. Being a very old instrument, he was very respectful of our family heirloom. The piano had been moved across the country, and had not been tuned for many years. Tom took his time to adjust each string, making our piano a pleasure to play and hear. Tom also repaired the ivory on two of the keys at no extra charge to us. He spent considerable time on one string in the lower registers, to ensure it would hold the correct pitch. We plan to use Tom and Piano Island Tuning for our future piano tuning needs. This customer rated you highly for professionalism, responsiveness, and value.”

This customer rated you highly for responsiveness, punctuality, work quality, value, and professionalism.”

“Tom is a great professional and very easy to work with. We recently purchased an upright Sterling for our house. He was very helpful at every step and gave us complimentary wax and a brand new sand clock! He provided us with some information regarding the piano we’ve purchased which I thought was very helpful. He came back to make sure that the piano was tuned perfectly and didn’t charge us. He is very honest and reliable. If you need a piano, I would certainly recommend him. Thank you Tom!”

Is there anything we can do to prepare for a piano tuning?

If possible, provide a quiet environment so that we can do our best work.  External noise makes it hard to hear the piano strings for fine tuning.  We appreciate your not running the dishwasher, vacuum, or laundry machines, or having any other noisy home services done at the same time.

All objects on top of the piano will need to be removed so that the technician can open the piano for access to the tuning pins.

In most upright pianos, the tuner will prop up the lid and remove the front board for access to the tuning pins; grand pianos will be opened and the music desk removed.

Good lighting is always helpful for tuning and playing the piano.

 

We service all locations in New Haven County, Fairfield County, Hartford County, Litchfield County, Middlesex County, New London County, and Windham County.

Please allow for extra time for tuning a player piano or an antique square grand piano, due to disassembly and reassembly requirements.

Piano Tuners Near Me and the Piano Tuning Cost:

Piano tuners near me in Connecticut vary widely when it comes to the piano tuning cost. Whether or not the technician does a repair, the tuning cost can range from $99 to $175 and up. Why should this be so? The answer is simple: Some tuners do a quickie tuning by ear only, or with a smartphone app to do as many tunings as possible in a single day. The results can be dismal. Typically, the bass, midrange and treble will be mismatched, and some of the unisons I have heard in the field made me cry. True professionals use dedicated, analytic piano-tuning devices, such as the stroboscopic Sanderson Accu-Tuner III and IV. They take the time to make sure that your tuning is perfect. An experienced tuner will use specific techniques to set the tuning pins properly, and this setting of the pins ensures that your tuning will hold for six months to a year. Also, if the tuner doesn’t take the time to do a final check and make adjustments, the settling of the strings can cause notes to go out of unison and create odd sounds.

Is a pitch raise included in the price? Many pianos are so out of tune that they need to be tuned twice: all the notes have to be adjusted to or above the correct pitches before they can be fine-tuned. This is to ensure that your final tuning will be stable. Some very old pianos cannot be pitch-raised because their brittle strings are likely to break.

The Guilford piano tuner, Christine S. Towne, has retired. We are happy to provide service for her clients.
