Brendan Ferrie
“We recently inherited a piano from a neighbour that was out of tune and in need of some serious TLC. James took the time and care needed to get our piano back to working condition. He was professional, courteous and treated the piano as if it were his own. You can tell by the workmanship that James is passionate about his craft, and will go above and beyond to make his clients happy. We highly recommend JD Pianotech.”
Tyler Leece & Heather Gaffney
New Piano Owners
“Had James out to tune my old studio upright for a big session, both I and the players were extremely impressed with his quality of service. After tuning he went out of his way to do some repairs in the keys and creaking levers when he rightfully could have left it alone. I have had this piano for 5 years now and it has NEVER sounded this great! JD is the first choice for my studio from here on out.”
Aidan Ridgway
Owner, Silver Street Recording
“Flexible online scheduling & prompt excellent service. Thanks James for a pleasant and efficient piano tuning experience.”
Robert Yates
Pianist, Clarinetist & Saxophonist
“James came on short notice to our home to tune our vintage 1892 Mason & Risch upright piano and it now sounds amazing! He did a fantastic job. A very talented and capable professional, Jo and I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing a piano tuner/technician.”
John Wagstaffe
Heirloom Piano Owner
“James was incredibly informative to help us with our piano needs pre, during and post the process. He was very efficient in his work and walked us through all the options for what we could do to the piano to help it so it was customized what we ended up choosing to pay for. Great choice for piano tuning!”
