HERE TO REPAIR YOUR PIANO

The action becomes uneven and less responsive, and the piano’s tone loses its dynamic range. Squeaks and rattles may develop after extended or heavy use. Action parts become severely worn, leather and felt wear thin, keys become wobbly, the hammer felt gets too thin to produce good tome, and the action becomes noisy. In addition, the piano strings may begin breaking and the cooper winding of the bass’ strings lose resonance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I selected Universal Piano Services to perform a long overdue tune after reading all of the positive Google reviews.  I was nervous about trusting someone as the piano is over 130 years old and hadn't been tuned in decades. I was delighted with the outcome with Ilya being very responsive and helpful on my initial inquiry. Anatoly spent two hours on the initial tune and Pavel did an amazing job tweaking a few items a few weeks later. Anatoly and Pavel arrived when scheduled and were very patient as they worked on the piano. A special shout out to Pavel as he shared that he is a fourth generation tuner with deep experience that he demonstrated with enthusiasm.   Thanks to Ilya, Anatoly and Pavel - they are a great team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience purchasing our piano. The service was highly professional, with great patience and genuine attention to our needs. The recommendation we received was spot-on and perfectly suited to what we were looking for.

The prices were fair, and the personal care we received throughout the process made the whole experience even better. It truly felt like they cared about helping us find the right piano, not just making a sale.

Highly recommended to anyone looking to buy a piano!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I were looking for a piano, to upgrade our girls, it was time. My wife researched looked around and universal piano services came up and we made an appointment and met Ilya. From the moment we walked in he was very very nice every question and I really mean every question we had because he did have quite a few pianos there, he answered them with detail and reason and I learned a few things that I didn't even realize existed or even was part of a piano. So he let my girls try the pianos out he played a little too. It was awesome. Now for the decision my wife wanted it white asked if she could get gold accents. Done and done. He was great with sending pictures of the process considering we bought a black one. Upon delivery she looked beautiful it was exactly what she wanted and Ilya and his team got it spot on. It came tuned and ready to be played. It sounds awesome my girls love playing it and its looked great. Thank you Ilya and universal piano.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Found their information on internet but after the technician came , I was truly impressed how professional he was. He was so much in detail. He could have finished in half the time he spent because I'm not an expert but he continued to his utmost satisfaction . Two thumbs up. I will recommend them to all my friends in case they need similar services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were trying to purchase a used upright piano and looked everywhere. I even prayed that God would lead us to the right place. He did lead us to Universal Piano Services. Ilya was just amazing in showing us around. We got a lovely tour and history of the pianos. He is very knowledgeable and very professional.  He was polite in answering all our questions. His sense of humour is wonderful.
He was very reasonable in negotiating the price. He had the movers set up right away ; they were extremely wonderful in handling the piano. I highly recommend Ilya’s place.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a baby grand piano from Jniversal Piano. From start to finish it was a very pleasant experience. Ilya did not pressure me at all and was very patient with all my questions. The piano arrived exactly when he said it would. The movers that Ilya employed were very efficient, knowledgeable and again very patient. The piano tuner was wonderful and carefully tuned the piano thoroughly. He listened to my concerns and fixed a small problem with no questions asked.
Ilya returns my phone calls and texts promptly.
I highly recommend Universal pianos

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ilya is the most knowledgeable piano guy I've met. If you need to find a good deal and you appreciate the sound of a real, authentic acoustic piano, then this is where you get upright and even grand pianos for a fraction of the cost. Ilya is fun, great to deal with, made things easy, and explained the process. My piano is in great shape, and the amazing price even included delivery and tuning. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a used piano in excellent condition!

Delivery and setup were handled with exceptional care, ensuring the piano was perfectly positioned, tuned and in pristine condition. Overall, it was a seamless and pleasant experience from start to finish.
