WHAT MY CUSTOMERS SAY  

 

 

Public school administrator Gregory Johns of Los Angeles, CA loves to play the piano when coming home.  He doesn't read music but he's got enough impressive chops to fool you. His playing is steeped in the Blues, Gospel, and Jazz. You can't get him to stop talking about his idol, the great jazz keyboardist Joe Sample.  This 1960 Chickering grand piano was given to him by his aunt-in-law but it sounded like an old honky tonk, out of tune saloon piano.  After Leo's piano tuning and repairs, Gregory said "Amazing!!! You've changed this piano into a whole new different piano.  I could hear chords that I hadn't before. I could explore a lot more things now."

The Esquivel family of Pico Rivera, CA lives next to a charming mini lake with flocks of geese.  (There are not that many lakes in Orange County, save for the large magnificent looking man-made pond in Mission Viejo.)  Jesse, the dad,  dreams to turn pro musician someday but remains, for the time being, an avionic electronic technician by day and an amateur guitar strummer at night. Over the summer this musical family bought this used Knabe grand piano for their son, Robert, and, already, this college sophomore Beatles fan youngster shows a lot of chops on the piano.   As typical of old pianos, it sounded lifeless with a few key problems.  After the fixes, the son commented "It was a honky tonk piano before but now it sounds great!" His dad heartily agrees and adds "It sounds so good!"

Though late into the evening and tired Michael Bubman of Bell Canyon, CA in Ventura county, can still smile for the camera after inspecting the piano repairs. The Bubman family are having a big party the following day with a big band jazz pianist neighbor coming over.  For this parlor size Shafer & Sons grand piano, the list of problems were numerous including annoying continuous sounds,  poor tone, pedal problem, and, of course, out of tune.  But now, the piano now sounds better and plays better with no more annoyances. As Michael says, "I've had piano tuners before but they did not repair nor inform me of the problems with my piano like Leo did.  He is a true craftsman, and a diligent one."

Their piano hadn't been tuned in 10 yrs so for this holiday season they gave it a go, and in came Leo for a big tuning.  Pianos are like a slowly sagging tree, going  flat incrementally each year.

I chose the third tuner, Leo, and am very happy with his service and cost."

"I am so impressed with the changes you did to my piano" said Betty Bahlin of Fullerton, CA.  The piano had problems with continuous sustained sounds, echoing problems, out of tune, and a hard tone.  This piano has a little interesting history. Betty's father, who was an American GI over in war torn Germany in 1947, was offered this piano in return for 2 cartons of cigarettes, and 3 loafs of bread. This fine baby grand piano, made in Germany's musical town of Stuttgart, had been in the Bahlin house for decades and, in later years, Betty tried to return it to its owner, a mayor of a little town, but couldn't find him. After the repairs, Betty had a couple of dinner guests over so Leo played a few round of songs: a Beatle's song, a jazz number on "Twinkle,Twinkle,Little Star", Leo's own "Stars, Stripe, and Dance", and a grand improvisation on Betty's favorite song "Fur Elise" which got  everyone joyfully stirred up.

Ted Miller and his cigarette chain smoking wife from Buena Park, CA are a modest retired couple who decided to tune their piano which hadn't seen service in 20 yrs and, surely enough, was a whole tone out of standard pitch.

Just really great!"

Jasper Nelson of Carson, CA felt better about his Sojin piano after Leo's piano tuning.  This instrument belongs to his sister, Mary, who loves to play classic Ellington jazz piano when she comes home from a long day at work at Kaiser Permanente. This lesser known Korean piano brand has had a bad reputation as a cheap factory piano.  But reputation not withstanding, this piano was able to hold its tune exceedingly well, in fact, better than many old Steinway pianos Leo has had to tune. Before departing, Leo played some Blues and Jazz tunes to which he remarked "It sounds real good."

The Jones of Mission Viejo bought a new beautiful long Knabe grand piano for daughter Ashley but had never serviced it for 2 yrs.   Unfortunately for this young lady, her black beauty was more than a semi-tone off  which is very unusual for new pianos. Illogical as it may seem, new pianos need twice more tunings than old pianos. New strings are very stiff and need to be stretched out more often. It required several sessions of tunings to get it back up to  standard pitch. In addition, they had stuck keys, tones hard like a hammer, and problems in the touch needing minor regulation.      Leo normally takes his time to get things right but the family was in a hurry to attend a charity concert and put a rush job on the piano service with the result that the pitch raise tuning had only a 1 pass tuning, normally requiring 2 pass tunings. Despite it, Ashley played some quick test songs to inspect all the piano fixes, then raised her thumb up  and said smilingly, "It's all right."

Former systems engineer turned homemaker mother Susan Kavner, of Orange, CA remarked "We were displeased with our previous piano tuner.  He was horribly off in his tuning, especially in the bass and treble areas (of the keyboard) but Leo's tuning hit it on the mark. It's so perfect and exact. The tone also sounds a lot nicer now. It has a singing quality.  No more thin or harsh tones." This Weber grand piano was passed down in the family to 12 yr. old Tim, who can't stand learning classic music but loves to play movie hit songs such as the "James Bond 007" theme and "Star Wars" theme.

Wilma Lindberg, a pleasant lady originally from Eugene, Oregon and now settled in sunny Monarch Beach, CA enjoys reading and playing her piano.  Her decades old spinet was increasingly annoying to her as some keys were completely or mildly stuck and other keys felt uneven throughout.  This unresponsiveness is due to aging, wear, and tear, so recalibration of piano touch (regulation) should be done every 5 years.   Regulation turns sluggish piano keys into fast response keys.  After Leo's magic repairs, Wilma uttered "It's just great. I can feel it (the improvement) already."

Just one week after her retirement from 48 yrs in the credit approval business Dee Chamberlain of Glendale, CA was eager to take up singing lessons and so had her antique player piano repaired, a 1907 Melville Clark. Player pianos are back breaking difficult to tune and repair due to the electromechanical components and most piano tuners do not service it, but Leo does.
