He worked diligently and efficiently with state-of-the-art equipment. He tuned and raised the pitch to A-440! Very professional and he's a friendly fellow too. Nice price.

Mr. Gotta has been tuning my piano for 2 years now, and I am always extremely pleased with his results. He is friendly and professional. I would not hesitate to have him regulate and voice my instrument as well should that be necessary in the future. I recommend him highly.

Weve had great experiences with younger-piano. Joseph has always been friendly and weve found him to be a super responsive communicator. We occasionally do home recording with our Yamaha upright, collaborating remotely with other musicians, so having a piano tuned right is critical. He makes sure ours sounds sweet.

Mr. Gotta is extremely skillful, friendly and charges a very fair price. He goes beyond the call and really cares that you're 100% happy with the result. He has also been very mindful and careful with Covid protocols. I recommend him exceedingly highly!

Highly recommend Joseph for piano care services. He is very punctual and works in a timely fashion. Also, he took time to explain what repairs would be necessary in the future, as well as estimate what the costs would be.

Joseph has truly given us the WOW effect. As first time customers, we were expecting wonderful service, but what we received was beyond what we ever imagined. The kindness and support of staff along with their amazing piano field technician, proved that there are companies still out there that believe in quality, integrity and supreme customer service.

I had a piano that had been previously tuned and I had been told that the keys that would sporadically not make noise was a problem that was more expensive to fix than the piano was worth. I called Joe and he said he would come check it out to see if the prognosis was correct. he was not only able to fix the problem but he was affordable and we were able to have him play for us (my kiddos were floored and I enjoyed hearing some beautiful music!). We will never use anyone else. Best experience and HIGHLY recommend!
