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

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.

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.

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.
