Richard did an amazing job on a very particular 1937 Wurlizer baby Grand.

Just had my old, beat up piano tuned and Richard made it sound great. Very professional, friendly, and affordable.

Fantastic tuning and great results! Will definitely use Richard again for my piano as well as the school I teach!

We had a great experience with our 1923 Steinway that was long overdue for tuning! It sounds beautiful and Mr. Ziss was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Richard Ziss is the best piano tuner around. He’s always prompt and does a fantastic job. A true professional who takes great pride in his work.

I highly recommend Richard – he is so reliable. My piano always sounds so great after he works on it. He stands by his work and is prompt with his appointments. Your piano is in good hands with Richard!!

I had a piano tuning emergency for a private event. Richard showed up with almost no notice and had the piano tuned perfectly in no time. Our talent was more than pleased and the event went off without a hitch.

Richard was very professional and prompt; more importantly, my piano sounds great! I would absolutely recommend him for all of your piano tuning needs.

Rich has been tuning our Yamaha upright for nearly 25 years. He always arrives promptly, his work and demeanor are professional, and our piano sounds great. I heartily recommend him!

Richard spent the time required to get our piano in tune and fixed some minor issues with the hammers that we weren’t even aware of. We appreciate his attention to detail and courteous service. Will be calling him back for future visits.

Our beautiful Yamaha grand was no longer holding a tune. Richard tuned it but it fell out of tune in a week. He recommended a “pin job” which is a very cost effective way to re-solidify the pin board. Richard did this (a very meticulous process) and then he retuned the piano. It’s so solid now … sounds beautiful a month later. Totally holding the tuning. I highly recommend Richard to care for your piano, he does quality work and is very honest.

Richard is the best! He’s been tuning my piano since I was a child and it was in my parents house. Very knowledgeable and talented

Richard has been tuning my pianos for the last 10 years, he’s doing a very good job of it. I’m always impressed by his thoroughness, punctuality and knowledge. I’m looking forward to his visits as I always get to learn something new, and the piano likes him too — it sounds fresh after Richard does his magic… Highly recommended

Alex Kuznetsov

Richard was wonderful! He made my terribly out of tune piano sound like a baby grand. A previous tuning service told me to not bother trying to keep my piano tuned and that it should be considered furniture, not a playable piano. Richard has turned it into an instrument again. I’m looking forward to playing it!

We own a beautiful Steinway Medium Grand that had not been tuned in over 10 years – partly because we were never satisfied with previous piano tuners.
Richard Ziss was highly recommended to us by two professional musicians and we called him to tune our piano prior to having an evening of music and fun in our home.
What a professional he is!!! He came exactly at the scheduled time and used both his ears and a computer to put our piano back in the shape in which it should have been maintained. He, himself, is a musician and he played periodically during the tuning period to check tone and be sure the piano was restored properly. He checked and re-checked during the tuning and continually adjusted to be sure the piano sounded great when he was finished.
You won’t believe that it is your piano when he is finished. We HIGHLY recommend him!!
