Hi! Peter Stumpf is a resistered tuner who does fabulous work! I highly recommend him. His number is: 412.881.3067

I highly recommend Jack C Longmore

Piano Technician

Registered Craftsman, PTG inc.

Tel : 412 741-3536

---------------------

The tuner I use is David Barr. His # is 412-828-1538. He does a great job!

---------------------

 

Hi Dan,

I've been happy with William Glesner (A1 Piano Service). He got an old upright Kawai (that had been sitting at a quarter-tone flat for a dozen years or more before it was moved here from Chicago) sounding very good, and we've had him back a couple of times. 412-367-3155

----------------------

A FRIEND, WES (412-716-0490) DOES SOME REPAIR + TUNING. HE'S A

STUDENT AND MAY CHARGE LESS.

-----------------------

I like Joe Bryan--don't have the number handy but he is in the phone book

 

-----------------------

We use Brian Baily for our upstairs piano at church. The Tuesday Musical Club uses Peter Stumpf for the piano

in the church. David Westfall also tunes pianos.

-----------------------

We have been using Brian Bailey to tune our piano for many years. He

tuned the pianos for the Pittsburgh Symphony for 20 years. His basic fee

is $130. His email is bri_bai@msn.com

Stumpf Peter A Registered Piano Technician

3240 Circle Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15227

(412) 881-3067

--------------------------

Joe Bryan (412) 371-5143

--------------------------

Yes, I used David Barr. (412) 828-1538

He tunes the Steinways for the Duquesne music school.

--------------------------

I used Bill Larson (wwlarson@verizon.net) 412) 661-8985

He just lives over in Morningside, so it was easy to organize and he did a

great job.

--------------------------

Ken Pearson

412-563-8088

We've used him for a number of years and have been pleased with his work.

----------------------------

Jack Longmore is very good- but very busy. He schedules by region, so is hard to get on short notice unless he's in the neighborhood. 412-734-1525

-------------------------------

Our accompanist at First Unitarian Church is skilled at piano

tuning, and he lives nearby, in Morningside. His name is Bill Larson,

and you can contact him at wwlarson@verizon.net.

-------------------------------

We use Peter Stumpf. A nice man with a wife and kids. He usually spends

about 90 minutes and it costs us around $90-$100. I think it's pretty much

the going rate. Please let me know if you find someone with better rates.

Phone # : 412-881-3067.

----------------------------------

hands-down the best tuner in Pittsburgh is Brian

Bailey -- 412 422-4366. We use him for ours, and at

the church . . . . (He also tunes for the PSO.)

-----------------------------------

Gloria Mayo, 724-327-9206

She responded quickly to my phone calls, came promptly, did a good, thorough job and was honest enough to tell me my piano wouldn't need annual retuning since its pitch has been stable for years. Not too expensive, either, though I don't recall exactly how much I paid her. She was also able to replace a missing key, so she can do repairs as well as tuning.

--------------------------------------

I have used Amy Marshall, (724)935-9420, with good results.

 

--------------------------------------

Brian Bailey’s Number is 412.422.4366

----------------------------------------

"Brian Bailey works on my piano. He lives in Sq. Hill and he works for

Heinz Hall as well as MCG Jazz.

 

---------------------------------------

Bill Larson does piano tuning (including my own and most of the pianos at

our church). His number is 412-661-8985.

----------------------------------------

Terry Schiebel did ours. We are satisfied.

412-821-2254

-----------------------------------------

There is a guy called Tom Buckel or Buckle who is in the south hills who has

always treated me right.

I can get Tom Buckle's number for you from my piano teacher if you can find

him.
