Jeff Murphy Piano Service

Jeff was awesome!!! I haven’t had my piano tuned in over 30 years. He came out and made it sound beautiful and even gave me some restoration ideas. Very friendly gentleman and he gave me a lot of tips. Will be using him over and over.

This man came all the way to my home to tune a piano. In the same week that I place the appointment. This man will go the extra mile for you business!

My father-​in-​law left a 1948 Gulbransen to us, which was in terrible shape at the time. I’m so glad we chose Jeff to do our total restoration. He met us at my father-in-law’s place in Long Beach, on short notice, after hours. He took time to explain the piano’s history and the restoration to us completely. He then went above and beyond to help us coordinate shipping to have it restored and then up to our home in Ventura County.
The piano was delivered to us in less time that he originally estimated it might take, and is absolutely gorgeous! I never, ever thought the dusty old thing we first saw could look this amazing. It plays so nicely and the sound is perfect.
My children have all taken their first lessons on this piano (which was what my father-​in-​law had in mind) and it was played beautifully in the background during the Memorial service we held for him several months after his passing. What a wonderful gift.
When I need tuning, or anything else piano related Jeff is/​was my go-​to guy! He knows his profession, is very skilled and went far beyond our expectations.

I found Jeff online through a google search. After reviewing his website, I contacted him to tune my baby grand piano. (I have moved 3 times in the past 4 years, and the piano has not been tuned in at least 5 years… way too long! and it was badly out of tune!) Jeff gave me all of the information on the phone, had references if needed, and his follow up on the morning of the tuning was very good. He did a GREAT job of tuning, I have a great ear, and I think this is probably the best piano tuning I have ever had! It sounds like an all new piano!
Jeff was very nice and professional, and I will definitely be contacting him again to tune my piano!

Jeff has tuned our baby grand three times in the past 2 years. He has also done some minor repairs. My son plays the piano a lot and Jeff get’s it tuned perfectly every time.

I am so happy I called Jeff Murphy! He was on time and very friendly. His years of experience make him very knowledgeable, and he took his time to really evaluate and show me the issues with my piano. He was even able to provide me with the history and tell me how old my piano is. Now my 100 year old upright sounds AMAZING! I am very pleased with his service, and as far as I’m concerned, he has another loyal customer to add to his client list!

Jeff Murphy tuned my piano recently and it was clear that the knows his stuff. He also worked hard to make sure I was happy with his service.

Basically, ya gotta show up. It’s that simple. And if you forget, apologize and make up for it. Then if they give you another chance don’t be an hour late.
It’s bad business. Try Adam at (714) 932‑2265
Anaheim, CA. He’s cheaper and reliable.

this dude was a no-​show.
sounded like a nice guy on the phone. but seeing that this is the second recorded instance of a no-​show, and giving him the benefit of the doubt that he simply forgot about the appointment, i would strongly advise this guy to get more organized i.e. start using google calendar instead of penciling it into some flyaway post-​it note or piece of toilet paper.
actually glad he didn’t show up, as Unilocal led me to another tuner in the area, adam gerling, who did a fine job and charged me $ 40 less than jeff murphy quoted me.

Just had the piano tuned with Jeff and it has never sounded better.

Jeff was very helpful, polite, and could not have been more accommodating. His rates were extremely reasonable. He helped us with everything that was wrong with the piano, and was very open and flexible with his schedule.
He has a lot of experience and was a pleasure to work with.

I have no idea how he actually tunes a piano. All I know is that I made an appointment with him two weeks in advance for a Tuesday night because I had a client coming in on Saturday morning. I called him to confirm the appointment on Monday and all was fine. Tuesday night I’m waiting and waiting and finally call him and he says «oops, i’m out of town», that I should call him the next morning to reschedule when he has his calendar in front of him. I tell him thats fine, I just really need it by Saturday. So I call him Wednesday morning and he says «yeah, doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to do it by Saturday».
I’m sorry but if you mess up and double book yourself, you should make a POINT of making sure you fix it, even if it means working extended hours. I didn’t want any sort of discount, I just wanted it DONE. Now trying to find a piano tuner who’s available in the next two days is going to be a chore. NOT COOL

Jeff’s a great guy and knows pianos. He’s tuned a lot of great pianos for a lot of known entertainers, but he’s quite down to earth and his rates are reasonable. He even fixed an issue with our piano that we were told was unfixable. Thanks for the great work, Jeff!
