Experience

For more than 40 years Joel Levine has been tuning and repairing pianos.  
 

His approach to piano work begins with an honest and practical attitude. How can the optimum results be achieved for his customer while considering their needs and budget? Careful evaluation of the piano, its potential and value as well as discussion with the owner allows us to devise a plan of action.  It could be a simple tuning and nothing more or even a total restoration.  A satisfied customer is always his goal.
 

I provide a variety of services to a wide array of customers.
