Testimonials
Reuben Katz has been the piano technician for Sherborne School for Girls since September 2004. Not only is he an excellent piano tuner but he has also transformed the tone and action of the school’s 45 instruments and their tuning has much greater stability. He is totally reliable and business-like, always ready to give advice, and it was through him that we acquired our fine Yamaha grand piano. He keeps a comprehensive log of all the instruments and has a clear overview of all that needs to be done and when. His prices for tuning, repairs and moving instruments are very competitive, and we very much value his support and have the greatest confidence in all he does for us.

Dear Reuben, I just wanted to thank you for making the experience of acquiring a new piano so satisfactory. I'm not only happy with the Broadwood (which looks great in our double height barn space) - your service with regard to installation, tuning and general good-humour has been fantastic. I will be asking you to continue to maintain the instrument so no doubt we'll be in touch. With best wishes, Mike

As a classical record producer who has, over the years, worked with many of our nation's finest piano tuners I cannot recommend Reuben Katz more highly. He is a uniquely gifted tuner and technician whose perfectionism and dedication to his craft succeed in producing miraculous results time after time.

I have used Reuben Katz services both as a piano technician and as a tuner. As a technician he restored a Bechstein series 9 upright for me . As a tuner he tunes the Bechstein and my Schimmel grand (to which he has also carried out some adjustment to the action). In both fields I find his work to be of the highest standard and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Reuben Katz has been an absolute godsend for advice with regard to the purchase of suitable pianos for my two daughters.
When a piano I bought without consulting him went wrong he quickly diagnosed the problem and then helped me to negotiate an excellent deal with the supplier. Thanks to Reuben I came away with a better instrument at a substantial saving. He was very happy to share his insider knowledge with me at no benefit to himself. What a generous spirit!
I have no hesitation in letting him come to our home to tune our piano when we are not there. He always leaves everything immaculate and provides excellent feedback on how to get the very best out of our instrument.
If you are looking for a completely reliable and trustworthy individual who comes with his heart in the right place then look no further than Reuben Katz.

My husband and I highly recommend Reuben Katz and his team full stop. We bought a piano from him two weeks ago and found the entire experience not only satisfactory but indeed very pleasant.
We found Reuben Katz Pianos as an organisation open, helpful, communicative, knowledgeable, responsible and prompt. We couldn’t be happier with our piano and the service we received from everyone at Reuben Katz was first rate.
I would be happy to speak with any clients who would like further detail from me.
