I have played many pianos around the world, tuned by many piano tuners. I can truly say without hesitation ... Rob Bangert is the best. No one gets a piano more in tune and sounding great than Rob!

During my past fifteen years of teaching Piano, I have had the opportunity of experiencing several of the top rated tuners in the greater Annapolis area.
Several years ago Rob was referred to me by a member of our Music Teachers Association, and I have stayed with him ever since.
My Steinway, and Kawai have benefited from Rob’s knowledge and expertise. His skills go beyond tuning (the aligning of strings), the sounding of keys (pitch regulation), to voicing, key action, mechanical repair, and replacement of worn parts (only when absolutely necessary).
Rob is also a fine pianist – so don’t be surprised if you hear test medleys from Chopin to Jazz!

Mr. Robert Bangert has serviced the pianos at St. John’s for many years. He not only does an outstanding job of keeping our 5 pianos in tune; he also looks ahead to let us know of any potential repairs which might need to be addressed in the future, which helps immensely in planning our annual music budget. He handles the scheduling beautifully, always aware of extra needs at Christmas and Easter. Mr. Bangert goes the extra mile to be flexible, arranging his visits around our service and rehearsal schedules. He advises us on the purchase of related equipment, such as piano dollies and climate control systems for our instruments, and always conducts himself in an extremely professional manner. I am delighted to offer a hearty recommendation.

As a piano instructor it is vital to set an example for my students by having studio instruments in proper working condition and always in tune. Rob Bangert's certification with the Piano Technician's Guild was the first priority in choosing a piano technician for my business. He has been servicing and tuning the pianos in my studio for several years to my continual satisfaction. His technical knowledge, professional service, and friendly demeanor make him a pleasure to work with. I have recommended Rob to all of my students and will continue to do so for years to come without hesitation.

Robert Bangert has been servicing my piano for over ten years. In addition to doing regular tunings, he restored on my 1919 Ivers and Pond grand piano by repairing the sound board, replacing the pinblock, strings, and tuning pins, replacing the hammers,shanks and flanges of the action, and regulating the action. I have been thoroughly pleased with his work and professionalism. I highly recommend him!

Just finished playing some Christmas carols on my freshly tuned Yamaha C3 and naturally my thoughts turned to you. I can think back to our 25 year professional relationship and all the cold December afternoons you have spent tuning my pianos. Some of them were not nearly as easy to tune as the Yamaha (that I purchased solely on your recommendation). No matter how cantankerous the piano or difficult the tuning process, you never stopped until all the pitches were perfect, And there’s always that trademark Bangert smile, no extra charge. Further, I have never hesitated to tell friends and family in need of any counsel on buying, selling, repairing or appraising a piano that you are the guy to ask. You are always generous with your expertise and completely straight forward in you answers. A technician as trustworthy as you in such a highly complex field is a rare find indeed.
Being a professional musician myself I am most acutely aware of the importance of instrument maintenance. So I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the peace of mind you have brought knowing that my pianos are always tuned and maintained in a way to insure peak performance levels at a moments notice. I look forward to continuing our relationship that is so valuable to me both personally and professionally.
See you next tuning!

Rob Bangert is a friendly and extremely knowledgeable "piano man." He has been tuning and maintaining our piano for over 10 years - actually considerably longer than that. Our piano was given to us by the church that planted us; Rob maintained it for many years for them as well.
Rob is cheerful, efficient, honest, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. I trust him so much that during a time when Rob was re-stringing our instrument, and needed to make several visits to the church building, I gave him a key and let him come and go as he pleased. An added delight after Rob tunes the piano is his playing. My office is within earshot of the sanctuary and I enjoy hearing him play, whether sacred, classical or Jazz. It's always good!

My wife and I have been using Robert as our piano tuner for over a decade. Over those years we have found his services professional in the utmost. His tunings are precise and he is always prompt. We wholeheartedly recommend his services.
