Many thanks to David and Dylan for taking on all the tuning responsibilities for the 2021 Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival. It was a full schedule, with piano music in all five of the series concerts as well as the extra events. Because they were so reliable and responsive, they brought a sense of calmness to what might otherwise be chaotic concert days.Special thanks to Dylan for bringing both the venues pianos up to their top performance level. Cant imagine how difficult a task that must have been given their condition from lack of use during the pandemic, but his willingness to perform expert multiple tunings kept the Festival pianists - and audiences - happy!
It was a pleasure to work with a trusted local professional. Excellent quality and service, starting with prompt scheduling by phone. David was knowledgeable, personable, and clearly loves music. This was my first piano tuning using Davids service--he came recommended by friends and Ill be booking yearly tunings with him from now on!
I’d like to convey very high marks for Lucas’ service today. He was efficient, professional and friendly, and I was very pleased with him. My husband was in the other room and didn’t get to really speak with Lucas, but I told him how impressed I was by this young man and not only by his demeanor and maturity, but by his knowledge and obvious expertise as well. I enjoyed speaking with Lucas and deeply appreciated him taking the extra time to answer all my questions. Side note: I also thoroughly enjoyed hearing him play a little bit as he tested his work near the end. Because the Steinway is a treasured family piece, having been given to my mother in 1945 by my grandfather, it was truly delightful to hear it played so beautifully once again, if only briefly. Lucas is certainly an asset and I look forward to recommending him and your company to others.Thank you.Bonnie Smiley WellsStuarts Draft, Virginia
Karl came out to tune our piano earlier today. He was delightful and we enjoyed having him in our home.When we played the piano this evening we could not believe it was the same instrument. Our piano has never sounded so clear and precise. Simply amazing.
Thank you so very much to Lucas for doing an exceptional job tuning our piano. What a joy it is to play a perfectly tuned instrument. Thanks for your exceptional professionalism and skill, Lucas.
Hi David.....Just wanted to let you know that my piano sounds SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you so much for taking the extra time to look at it. It is so much more enjoyable to play the music that requires those upper octaves.Much appreciated......Sonja Vicker
A colleague recommended David Weiss to us. David helped us navigate purchasing a used piano and his associate, Lucas, met us to inspect the piano before we purchased it. Lucas was very professional and knowledgeable. I look forward to continuing with David and Lucas for tuning and regular maintenance. They are fantastic!
I sent out a request for an emergency piano tuning late one night and heard back first thing the next morning from David. He was able to schedule my tuning in the short time frame I had with one of his technicians. Lucas arrived on time and took the time to explain the process to me, answer all of my questions and give his first impressions of the piano we had just purchased. The piano had not be tuned in ages so a second tuning was required, which I was told within minutes of beginning the first tuning. Another tuning was scheduled then and there, and Lucas again arrived on time, was extremely helpful and professional. David came to the building during the tuning to check in on things and introduce himself. I was very impressed by both David and Lucas and they we will be calling them for all of our piano needs!
David does a wonderful job in tuning our baby grand piano. He is very knowledgeable and reliable. If you need help in moving or storing your piano, he is very good at steering you to the right place. Many of our neighbors use David to tune their pianos.
My family couldnt be happier with the service we received from David Weiss Piano. We have an old piano that belonged to my great-grandmother, and it hadnt been given the attention it deserved in several years. David was extremely quick to respond to our needs and our piano is feeling like the grand old lady she is once again. From tuning and restoration to custom string covers and humidity systems, there is nothing that this company cant do. We cant recommend them highly enough and we will use them exclusively in the future. If you have a cherished piano that needs attention for a reasonable price, look no further than David Weiss.
Not only are the technicians at David Weiss Piano Services extremely considerate and responsive, their communication and punctuality is impeccable. They are knowledgeable and skilled technicians and we are happy to have them in our home.
Excellent service all around. Prompt, personable, and helpful in their responses and excellent, thorough tuning services. Grateful to have found a wonderful, local, family business!
Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with the tuning and voicing you gave our piano. The Piano once again has the sound we love! It is like welcoming an old friend back. Thank you so much!B and J. Smith
David has tuned our piano for 10+ years! He is dependable, professional, and sincere. He gives excellent advice and is interested in our musical needs/questions. Our piano sounds good year ‘round! THANKS!
David Weiss has been tuning my piano for many years, and I cant say enough great things about him. I recommend him highly.
David Weiss is a master piano technician. He has been servicing our 1967 Yamaha G2 piano for many years now. In 2017, with the piano fifty years old, it was time to rebuild the action. David skillfully removed the action, took it to his shop, and rebuilt it as needed. Th re-installation was most precisely accomplished with the result that the piano has performed as if brand new. This was done in timely and cost effective manner.David has also devoted his skills to maintaining the Yamaha C2 piano in the lobby of Martha Jefferson Hospital. I would recommend David without hesitation or equivocation.
David Weiss has been invaluable in keeping my piano in top shape for nearly eight years. I initially asked him to tune a piano that had gone badly off during a move, and subsequently worked with him to keep that piano in tune in an apartment with wildly fluctuating temperatures and humidity. He succeeded. In this, and in evaluating other work or potential work that could be done, David has always taken a practical approach. I trust him and value his advice on all things piano related.
I am a piano teacher in Ivy and have worked with David for over ten years. I have always been impressed with his knowledge and skill. I currently play on grand piano that he refurbished. I would recommend him to anyone with a piano in Charlottesville.
David Weiss is fantastic! When we were looking to purchase a piano in the fall of 2009, a dear friend and professional soprano recommended that we hire a piano tuner to inspect pianos before we made the big purchase. I reached out to my boys music teacher at their elementary school, and she recommended David Weiss. After David inspected a number of pianos at Charlottesville Piano and walked us through each one, he recommended a Kawai that we still love to this day. Since the purchase, David has been our piano tuner and tunes our piano every 6 months. He also installed a water unit to our piano to help maintain the integrity of the piano. David is very professional and highly skilled, arriving to every appointment on time. There have been times, due to my work schedule, where Ive had to leave a key for him to enter our home for the piano tuning; I have trusted David and felt very comfortable letting him tune with no one home. I would recommend David enthusiastically to anyone searching for a piano tuner or a consultant in making the investment of a piano purchase.
David Weiss has been fabulous to work with. We had one old piano that needed a tuning badly, and one baby grand that we thought was beyond repair. However, David came by, assessed the situation, gave a detailed and fair estimate, then performed the work quickly and professionally. We are so happy with the results and excited to be able to use them both again! I recommend David Weiss for any of your piano needs!
I have used David for years and appreciate his professionalism, attention to customer care and skill. Im thrilled with the extensive work he did on my Baldwin grand piano last year! I love the feel of the action now, which had become very worn from years of use, and the greatly enhanced sound. I highly recommend his services!
David is an excellent technician and musician -- so he brings both skill and a keen ear to his trade. He has tuned our piano for years and I highly recommend him for regularly scheduled tuning as well as repair and maintenance issues. 5 stars!!!
Phenomenal technician! David truly cares about his customers and the pianos he works on. Customer service and attention to detail are impeccable. Recommend most highly!
Great service
