Testimonials

As a professional musician, I need a technician, like a doctor, to provide a thorough examination and diagnosis of any issues. I tried three tuners after moving a Steinway M from Manhattan to the Cape in 2001, before I found Jim Pfeiffer.

— DAN BERLINGHOFF

Jim has tuned our grand piano since 2020. He does a wonderful job. He explains everything clearly. He also replaced the hammers, regulated the piano, and installed a humidity controller. In the course of his visits, Jim inspired my son to consider a career as a piano technician. He recommended the North Bennet Street School program and has mentored my son as he enters this new adventure. We are forever grateful!

— B.B.

For 10 years, Jim has tuned my piano as well as the pianos at the venues where I have performed. He is a consummate professional, distinguished by the consistently superior quality of his work and by his excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Over the past 15 years, I have worked with piano technicians in several U.S. states as well as in London, and Jim ranks among the very best. I recommend him without reservation.

— CRAIG COMBS

Jim exemplifies the skills of a highly proficient and talented piano tuner. Along with technical expertise, he demonstrates a deep understanding of the instrument. I own a sensitive 100 year old Steinway Concert Grand and Jim carefully analyzed its unique needs and brought it to a new height in both touch and sound.

You can be sure your piano is in excellent hands with JP Piano Tuning.

Jim has been tuning my two pianos, a modern upright and an antique square grand for close to 10 years. He has a wealth of knowledge and not only does a great job tuning but keeps up an interesting conversation as well. He is professional, prompt and has exceptional skill. It is always a delight to play my pianos after he has worked his magic.
