I just wanted to tell you how wonderful the Steinway at the church sounds. I have been enjoying practicing and playing it. I can’t thank you enough ~ it sounds beautiful! I just wanted to let you know, I really appreciate the work you have done. It is such a joy to play now.

That's what I told Bob, when I called him a few days after he tuned my piano for the first time. The other tuners I'd used had always told me my piano was too small and cheap to ever sound very good. But Bob had the skills and willingness -and took the time!- to make my Wurlitzer Spinet sound really nice. I finally find a super tuner, and then he leaves town. I'm happy for him, but he will be dearly missed. Bob made my piano sound the best it has ever sounded. “My Wurlitzer Spinet NEVER sounded this good!” That’s what I told Bob, when I called him a few days after he tuned my piano for the first time.

We are going to miss Bob in Kansas City and Tucson is acquiring one of the best piano tuner/technicians in the United States. When I first started in this business in 1984, it was Bob Conrad who gave me valuable advice and taught me the ins and outs of the business. I owe him a great debt. When I broke my arm in 2007, Bob helped out by servicing some of my customers until I could get back on my feet. They were very pleased with his work.

It was basically a good instrument but because it had not been touched in a long time, it needed some attention. Bob Conrad tuned it and brought it up to standard pitch. He fixed and fine-tuned all the mechanical issues that had crept in over the years. When he finished, I had a first-class, beautifully regulated, well-tuned instrument with an unparalleled tone. You can trust Bob to tune your piano accurately and perform the necessary repairs and maintenance to keep it in top condition.

He treats every instrument--from our grands which are used every week, to our aging classroom uprights--with the same loving care and makes every piano sound the best it possibly can. His fees are very reasonable and you can always count on him to show up for his appointments on time or contact you if he cannot. Not only has he tuned for us, but has repaired, voiced and done other maintenance work for us through the years to protect our investment in our instruments. In every case we were thrilled with the results and never once felt that we didn't get a lot more for our money than we could have hoped. I have recommended Bob to literally scores of people and in every case, they agreed with me: he is the the best tuner around! On top of that he is honest and a nice guy who is easy to work with. I recommend him to anyone looking for a piano tuner. I know you won't be disappointed.

When we moved and I no longer needed one of the grands, he helped me find a good home for it. I will miss him now that he has moved to Tuscon because he knew my piano and took care of it like a doctor would a patient.
