Austin has been tuning our church piano for many years. He has always done excellent work. I trust him and highly recommend him to you.

Austin is simply the piano tuning Super Hero! There is nothing this guy can’t fix, he got us out of a jam twice now. Excellent value too.

Austin has been tuning my piano for several years. As a piano teacher, my piano gets a lot of wear and Austin always keeps it in great shape, not only in tuning it, but general maintenance. His musicianship also shows through as he has a deep understanding of the beauty of the piano’s sound and tries to achieve that in his tunings. I highly recommend Austin for anyone’s piano needs.

Austin has been tuning our piano for the last year and a half. His tunings are extremely musical and enables our piano to sing through all the keys. Austin is a pleasure to work with!

3 years ago I bought a house with a 110 year old baby grand that was completely unplayable. Austin spent hours bringing it back to life, his skill and love for pianos being very apparent. He has since been maintaining it and I proud to say that we have recently reached A435 – onward and upward!

You have a fine ear, and gave me a world-class tuning. I haven’t had a tuning this good, where the pitch sits all around in the middle of the tone, in a very long time. Thank you for that.

I have a stand up piano that has not been tuned in over 5 years. He was extremely thorough and took him about 3 hours the first time. My piano sounds INCREDIBLE now — and people coming over to the house have noticed the change in quality of the sound as well! Austin charges you a fair price for his work and does such a fantastic job. Highly highly recommend!!!

“Over the past two years, we have had the pleasure of working with Austin’s Piano Service to repair and tune our pianos at the Memorial West United Presbyterian Church in Newark, NJ. Austin King is a piano technician who treats each instrument as a tender patient in need of his care. From basic tuning to extensive restoration, Mr. King always seems to have the right antidote for whatever ails the instrument.
Four times a year, we present our Flatted Fifth Jazz Vespers Series, where we present many great jazz keyboard artists, like Norm Simmons and Freddy Cole. We always call on Mr. King to tune and prepare the piano for them on the day of the event. Frequently, we are complimented by the artists for the quality and tone of the instrument they played.
Austin, himself, is an accomplished pianist, trained in classical music, yet effectively adaptive to other genres, including jazz.
We especially appreciate Mr. King’s flexibility and the professional manner in which he graciously responds to our needs.
We would certainly recommend Austin’s Piano Service to other groups or individuals in need of an excellent technician.”

“As a pianist with experience working in my dad’s piano shop I have a sense of the temperament required for good piano service and I feel that Austin has that temperament. Good piano service is repetitive and fussy and Austin has a commitment to quality that has translated to great results in the work he has done on the pianos at our studio.”

“Austin King has been servicing my Steinway B for the past 6 years. I am a professional touring and recording artist and have very particular tastes with both my instrument and who tunes it. Mr King has provided exceptional service. He has a deep love of his craft and it shows in the quality of his tunings. He is always prompt and maintains a pleasant demeanor. Having a reliable technician is an absolute must and I would wholly recommend Mr. King to anyone in the New Jersey area.”

“Hi Austin,
I just wanted to say thanks again for taking care of the pianos. You did a really great job. The Steinway looks and sounds great. Thanks again!”
