Top-Rated Piano Technician in Los Angeles: Celebrating 200+ 5-Star Reviews
Passing 200 five-star reviews as a Piano Technician in Los Angeles is an incredible milestone, but to me, it isn’t just a number. It represents dozens of trips between LA and New York, long days on the road, and an endless variety of fascinating instruments— and clients!
When I wrote my 100-review milestone post, I was blown away by the support. Doubling that number so quickly is humbling. For every client who takes the time to leave feedback, I know there are several more whose pianos I’ve serviced along the way. Whether I'm prepping a piano for a high-profile session or helping a family bring a vintage upright back to life, every appointment brings a new story.
A FaceTime Rescue from the Airport
If there's one thing being a bicoastal Piano Technician teaches you, it's how to expect the unexpected.
On one of my four trips to New York this past year, I was sitting at the airport waiting for my flight back to LA when my phone rang. The client on the line was frantic: a small snake had slithered inside their grand piano and taken shelter directly beneath the piano keys on top of the keybed.
At first, I honestly thought it was a prank call. Growing up around my parents' store, people were always calling in trying to replicate the classic Jerky Boys skit from 1994—"Parrot in a Piano"—where Sol Rosenberg calls a repair shop about a bird trapped in his instrument. I was waiting for the punchline, but this owner was dead serious!
Since I was about to board a cross-country flight, I couldn't drive over right away. Instead, we fired up FaceTime right there at the gate. I walked the client through disassembling the key slip and cheek blocks in order to slide the action out, so they could free their uninvited guest safely without damaging the piano (or the snake).
Whether I’m doing emergency airport troubleshooting, working with high-profile artists in LA, or tuning across Long Island and NYC, no two days on the job are ever the same.
