“I have had the pleasure of working with Scott Portzline for over 25 years. He has diligently, efficiently and with great care and candor provided piano tuning and moving services for the arts organization that I serve - Harrisburg Opera Association. He is a consummate professional and a respected musician in his own right. I highly recommend him.”

Tami Swartz — Executive & Artistic Director, Harrisburg Opera Association

“Scott and his crew were amazing. They were able to move my very old, very heavy upright player piano from the basement, taking it outside, up a small hill and into their truck. I had my doubts that it could be moved period from my old location to my new home over 50+ miles away. But they got it done and with care and concern over the wellbeing of my piano. Highly recommended!”

Tom Woods

“Highly recommend. Arrived on time, was quick and efficient moving the piano out of our house. 20 minutes start to finish!! Made it look so easy. When you have the right equipment and the know-how, it is.”

“Excellent!”

Lisa Weaver

“I met Scott for the first time a few years ago when I hired him to move my Baldwin piano from Dillsburg to Mechanicsburg. That was very good experience. I then used Scott again recently to tune my Baldwin. I thought it was in pretty good tune. After Scott tuned it, however, it sounded better than when I first bought it! Scott tunes by ear which is truly an art. Very professional and excellent piano tuner. Highly recommend him for tuning and moving!”

Mary Abruzzese — Mechanicsburg, PA

“Scott did an amazing job moving our five foot ten grand. He proficiently moved and reassembled our piano. Moreover, he replaced a broken string. If you need any piano services, you've found the right guy. Scott masterful tuned our piano, and he was kind and entertaining.”

Adel Habib

“Scott was a lovely man to work with. Not only did he drive an hour to tune our piano, but he was also fairly priced and was great with our son who was curious about what he was doing. He also gave our daughter some helpful piano playing advice. I would highly recommend him.”

Becca Good

“Right on time. Made moving our piano look easy. Highly recommend and had the best price.”

Denise Miller

Derek Swartzentruber

“Scott Portzline is very capable, responsive, and knowledgeable piano technician and professional mover. He transported my 5.1" Kawai Baby Grand from Madison NJ to my son's Hershey PA home without any damage whatsoever to either the piano or house interiors. The move included a very good tune-up and cleaning of the action board.”

Michael McDonald — Hershey, PA

“Mr. Portzline is very professional and makes sure his work is done properly. He has helped us with moving our piano, cleaning and tuning. We would highly recommend Mr. Portzline.”

Maryam Kapur

“Scott was a total professional when dealing with the move of a super heavy player piano that was generously given to me. He and Jimmy worked diligently to be as careful as possible while bringing the piano into my home, which had several challenging doorways. Kudos to them! I definitely recommend Scott for anyone looking for piano services!”

Jim H.

“Scott Picked up a piano I was purchasing from a private seller and delivered it to my home and also disposed of my current piano. Scott was very responsive and friendly. Price seemed very reasonable. I would recommend his services.”
