Randy is the most knowledgeable professional I have encountered when dealing with my grand piano. He explained everything thoroughly and was very responsive to email questions regarding fixing and tuning my piano. He afforded me a lot of time on his visit to my home, and provided different options to service my needs. He performed a regulation service on my piano and it is awesome! My 18 year old piano seems better than the day I bought it! I am one happy customer!

Randy is amazing. Instead of 88 On Pitch, his company should be called Perfect Pitch. He totally refurbished my upright Yamaha piano that I bought from a music school. The sound is amazing. Remember, if you have a great sounding piano, you’ll want to play more. Even my music teacher said it was the best sounding piano he has ever played on. Don’t hesitate.

Randy originally came to help us restore parts of our antique piano and now comes regularly to tune it. It has never sounded better. Thank you Randy for your continued care.

I had worked with Randy for a few years when I owned my upright Yamaha, and was always pleased with his service and professionalism. When I started to shop for my first grand, he was also a great resource, ultimately putting me in touch with the retailer I purchased from.

I purchased the Ritmuller Grand in the spring of 2017, and was determined to get the most out of my piano. Randy worked with me early on for tuning and installing a humidity control system. As the piano started to “settle in”, he paid a couple of extra visits to make small adjustments, and to explain how much the piano could and would change in the early years of ownership.

After about 9 months, however, I was becoming increasingly worried that perhaps I had made a bad purchase. While I loved the playability of the Ritmuller at first, I felt that it was starting to diverge more and more from my playing style.

After further consultation with Randy (he’s very patient with me!) we agreed to do a “concert prep” on the piano. He made several adjustments to every key and every hammer (and other things I don’t even know the name of). I was hopeful that this additional investment would pay off with better playability and some peace of mind .

I have been absolutely thrilled since the prep. The action, playability and tone are all the best they’ve ever been. I’m reassured that not only do I have the right piano for me, but I have access to an expert with the skill and knowledge to help me take care of it for years to come.

Randy came to tune our 1979 upright piano that family gave us years ago. He arrived right on time (thank you!), was very professional, was able to fix our piano, and all was done in a timely fashion for a reasonable price. Our piano was out of tune when it was given to us back in 1998, and in 2012, after two moves, another tuner had told us that it would take over a year with 8-9 separate tunings ($$$) to hopefully bring it back up to pitch, but he couldn’t guarantee he could do it. We didn’t go that route and nothing has been done with the piano since then. Fast forward to 2017 with kids that are a little older who are starting to show some interest in learning to play, we figured we would try calling someone else in the hopes that they might be able to do something that the other tuner could not. Randy was able with two tunings (just one visit!) to bring the piano back to A440 pitch and to tweak a few other things in order to give us a much more pleasant (usable!) sounding piano. We are more than happy with the results, and to have the piano now be used instead of just holding pictures, is truly wonderful. We highly recommend 88 On Pitch!

I have a 35 year old Yamaha upright... I think it’s called a U2. A beautiful instrument, but It has had a lot of neglect including variable humidity and infrequent tunings, and the sound showed it. Randy put a lot of work into the action and the hammers, voiced it, tuned it... with great results. Sounds like a new instrument.

I recently purchased a used Charles Walter console piano for my home teaching studio, knowing that it needed a bit of work to bring it back to life. Randy came highly recommended, and I am absolutely thrilled with his work on this instrument. He is professional, honest, thorough, very accommodating to my schedule, and a real master of his craft. Totally worth every penny!

I moved my 50 year old childhood piano up to Connecticut from my mother’s apartment in NY. It was old, out of tune, and a bit worse for wear. Randy was able to get it tuned and adjusted despite string and hammer issues so that it is now in its best possible condition and I am able to play on it again! Randy is honest and talented and we are so glad we found him! Best piano tuner/tech ever!

Randy provided top shelf service. He is extremely knowledgable and his technical skills are excellent. He is responsive and professional. I have a Kawai Parlor Grand piano, circa 1977. The piano was purchased used from a private owner and had been regularly maintained. However, it had not been tuned in a couple of years. Besides needing to be tuned, I noticed the action seemed to be stiff and not as responsive with rapid key strikes, plus my son started taking lessons and advised that our piano just didn’t play like his piano teacher’s did. I researched piano technicians and based on multiple reviews contacted Randy. Randy got back to me the same day, arranged the appointment, arrived on time, examined the piano, explained in detail his recommendations. We agreed on the work, he removed the action and took it back to his shop and returned it just over one week later. He spent the day completing the work, cleaning, tuning, and adjusting. The piano is a joy to play and my son loves to play now. Randy also followed up one week after completing the work to confirm we were happy with the piano’s performance. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely utilize Randy in the future.

Randy is a 5+ piano technician/tuner. He completely rebuilt the action and voiced the hammers on my 1917 Steinway O. It feels and sounds like a new Steinway! What a great job. He is very dedicated. He came back to fine tune (pun intended) the voicings on a few hammers and made a some follow up adjustments. The piano is great. I most highly recommend Randy for any piano repair/regulation and tuning.

There just isn’t enough space to tell all that Randy has done for us and our piano. He brought our piano back to life! I watched pieces leave the house and return beautifully restored. He didn’t stop until the piano met his standards, and I can say, exceeded ours! He was always honest and sincere in his assessments, and he gave great advise about was necessary and what was not without any pressure at all. Our piano got the loving touch from Randy! 88 On Pitch makes beautiful music!

Randy recently completed a complete master regulation and voicing of my 11 year-old Samick baby grand. It had always been “bright” but lately it had become so bright that it was brittle to point of being harsh in the middle to high registers. Also, one key did not hit the proper string, and many others were misaligned. I would not play it without using the soft pedal. Today, the piano sounds marvelous, with a rich, soft tone, but comes alive when you want it to. Also, although I never noticed that the keys had been so lumpy and irregular, they now all operate quickly, and with the same pressure. It is EASY to play softly ! WOW ! The more I play it, the more I realize how much better it sounds and how much easier it is to play. Thank you!
