Dan’s Piano Services

I’ll add my praise to that of other piano owners. I just wish I’d taken a photo of Dan with his mask and apron on, special vacuum cleaning and tuning tools neatly laid out. My hand-​built Yamaha grand had a buzzing in the lower register. He discussed with me the possible causes, from structural separation to just grit and possible hidden foreign objects. :) He checked the integrity of the soundboard and support structures, cleaned everything internal, tightened hardware and found the hidden offending objects, a small piece of plastic and pencil. (Note to self: keep track of the pencil when marking up music and consider closing the lid when not in use.) He tuned it, smiled and said «you’re all set.»
It was a very reasonable price and he’s a master. He was trained by a now-​deceased expert who I’m familiar with. What a great guy.

Dan is amazing. He rebuilt my father’s 120 year old Steinway piano and now it sounds more beautiful that I ever could have imagined. He spent months of his time on this and meticulously worked day in day out until everything was perfect. I would hire him in a heartbeat and trust him with your most precious work. Thanks so much Dan!

Dan has been tuning and servicing my pianos for many many years and I would not trust anyone else with them! He is kind, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and I know that I will not be «sold» something that is not necessary. When I was looking for a new piano, I trusted Dan’s referrals. Dan Amihud is GREAT!

Thank you, Dan! Dan has been tuning my baby grand piano for over twenty years. He recognized the potential in the nearly 100 year old Knabe and encouraged me to restore it. In the spring of 2010 I finally took the plunge. Dan oversaw the entire process, from the refinishing of the case, to personally re-​stringing and restoring the action — replacing the felts, leathers and moving pieces, and in many instances custom building parts that are no longer available. I was so impressed by his expertise, knowledge and craft. The Knabe has always been in my family and holds great sentimental value for me. My trust was well placed in Dan and he made good on his promise of restoring the piano to its former beauty, both to the eye and especially to the ear.” — Chris T.

Dan was very professional and quick to respond when I needed a quote. His price is very reasonable and he did a great job with the piano tuning and took his time to ensure the job was done perfectly. He was very knowledgable and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Dan has been tuning my Kawaii baby grand every 6 months for the past five years. He is prompt, courteous, very knowledgeable and uses state of the art equipment. His prices are fair; I pay what I consider a good price for a high quality service. I recommend him without hesitation.

We bought a piano from Keyboard Concepts a few years ago and had it tuned by the tuner that the store uses. It never sounded right so when the time came to have it tuned I looked around our area and found Dan.
The piano needed a fair amount of work that was never done the first time and Dan spent quite a lot of time making it right. We have used Dan ever since, and we appreciate his timely reminders and most of all we appreciate his personal service. Dan does great work, I’m listening to my daughter play right now and our piano sounds beautiful!
