There's no big hurry here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hodge Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 He speaks passable English. My wife's piano is due a tuning. I can check and see if he has any Chapala visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxMan Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Two months ago we had our Chickering restored by Erneztto Infantte Pianos in Guad. Ernesto knows pianos and did a beautiful job. We were going to have him out in about a month to tune us up. I'd be interested in what everyone else decides to do or if you know Ernesto.

HI Mainecoons - I'd be interested in sharing a tuner if nothing has been done so far. Getting tired of hitting those off keys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in Ajijic, set it up for any time after 6 April and we are in. Ours is a 1906 Ivers and Pond upright grand, fully restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmetzger Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Excellent English. Years ago, I bought an antique piano from him that he had restored. He's tuned my piano a few times. Tell him Kim sent you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maya Montgomery Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I was wondering what some of the current price ranges are for any of these three--Manuel, Ernesto, and Roy; and does anyone know the next time they may be in town for a group tuning/or what the schedule is to be included on a multiple customer visit?

Jeffree White Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'd likely participate in a group piano-tuner day scheduling. I'm in West Ajijic. Got a 1940-ish Steinway spinet. I play jazz, old popular music, blues, and other styles, and I'd be down to jam if anyone wants to! (I play other instruments so I could accompany pianists, too.)
