Bay Area Piano Tuning Service

I am so impressed with Daniel. My piano is almost 100 years old (and very unique) and Daniel was able to repair and tune it so well. I didn’t think it was ever going to work again. He was very professional. His price was very reasonable. And he gave me great advice throughout his visit. He also had a coworker, Paul, come and clean it. It looks and sounds amazing. I highly recommend Bay Area Piano Tuning Service!

Everything the others said… and more! I appreciated the time and care spent on our not-​so-​great piano. Daniel was on time, professional, knows his stuff, and is a wealth of information. I will gladly refer him to any and all I know re: piano business. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Mr. Doty has tuned our piano for over six years, starting with the initial setup of the instrument. As delivered, the newly-​purchased piano required some internal mechanical work, covered by the warranty; he identified the deficiencies and dealt with them expeditiously. Since then, he has returned for periodic tuning every six to nine months (longer periods recently as the piano has settled in); each time the piano sounds like new when he finishes. I enjoy discussing the mechanics of the piano with him; his experience and knowledge are a real asset. He is also most personable and prompt with appointments.
The quality and professionalism of his work are the best we have encountered.

Knowledgeable, Integrity, and professional are some of the words that come to mind when describing Daniel — Bay Area Piano. I called Daniel to inquire if he would restore a Steinway upright piano that was being shipped from Honolulu. Daniel was more than accommodating explaining the process and the potential issues that may happen to a piano being shipped from a humid area like Hawaii. Daniel arrange direct shipping from the docks in Oakland to his facility.
Unfortunately, since this piano has been in my wife’s family for 30+ years in a very humid environment the repairs that would be needed outweigh the justification to repair our piano. Daniel explained what happened to the piano in the humidity as well as detailed the damage that occurred not only from the humidity but from the shipping. He provided us a certificate and photos to file an insurance claim with our shipper for the damage from shipping. Daniel was kind enough not to charge us for any of the documentation and arrangements for the delivery.
Needless to say, I would highly recommend Daniel and his team!
Thank you, Daniel

Daniel worked within my schedule to get our piano tuned as a surprise for my husband on his birthday. He is very responsive, and a genuinely nice person to speak with. His prices were better than other tuners we’d used, as well.
It had been YEARS since we last had the piano tuned… 8 years I think? Daniel gave it a double tuning and really went the extra mile to bring our poor instrument back to beauty.
I have a tin ear, but I can tell the difference. It sounds so light and pretty. We now have a yearly tradition to maintain – a tuning for the birthday boy.

Daniel Doty listened very carefully to our needs when we inherited a piano in very neglected condition. He understood exactly what we were hoping for and brought this piano back to life, with the cost never straying from our budget. Honest, businesslike, and very personable; Daniel Doty is a pleasure to work with. And a bit of a miracle worker!

Really great tuning my piano 10 years now. Very meticulous and professional. Only one I would trust on my 7-​foot Steinway grand.
