What clients are saying about Goheen Piano


Goheen Piano has hundreds of satisfied customers as the company has grown tremendously over the years.  Most current customers have come through referrals from others, which is of course the very best testimony for any business!


"Fred Goheen"s Piano service always gets a five-star rating from me!  Since I moved here fifteen years ago, he has been responsible for my two pianos, an upright and a grand.  With my BME, I have been teaching piano and voice, accompanying, and directing choirs.  Fred Goheen’s care of my pianos makes them sound lovely which brings even more joy to me in my work and in my personal, musical performance.  Fred’s professionalism is also outstanding.  He honors his appointments usually arriving a few minutes early.  He is meticulous with the tuning, incorporating the customer’s personal preferences (i.e. brightness of sound, tension of pedals).  In addition to his expertise and professionalism, he is kind and fun.  I am blessed to know and work with Fred Goheen!"

"Fred Goheen has been my piano technician for 37 years!   He is absolutely excellent in every way.  His skills are beyond reproach.  Fred is always cheerful and prompt, arriving at the time that he has stated.  I have a seven foot Baldwin grand, and he keeps it in tip top condition. When I phone him about a project or a question, he is cheerful and very helpful with accurate answers. His fees are quite reasonable. I cannot find anything less than superb to say about Fred Goheen.  I highly recommend him, without reservation." 

Dale Sherrod, MD, Longmont, CO


"Fred Goheen has been my piano tuner for a number of years.  Prompt, courteous, and personable, best of all he always leaves my piano sounding its best.  For some time, my baby grand (which I had found on my own in a local music store and purchased new) had been developing a rather harsh, "bright" sound.  Fred assessed the problem and worked hard to ameliorate it over the years, but there were issues with the piano that could not be fixed.  He told me that if I was interested, he would keep his eyes open for a used piano that might better suit my needs.  Once I was finally ready to take the plunge, he held true to his word and located a local grand piano that is exquisite and was reasonably priced.  It has given me immense playing pleasure and my husband says it is like hearing a different (much better!) pianist at the keyboard.  I'm sure I never could have found as nice a piano doing my own research.  I would heartily recommend Fred to anyone needing piano care or help with purchase of an instrument."
  

Debbie Hutchinson, Longmont, CO


"I have used Goheen Piano for years for all my piano related needs. Goheen Piano is my trusted resource for all tuning, voicing, regulating, and/or repairs that my pianos need, as well as for piano appraisals. As a classical pianist I recently was able to upgrade to a grand piano in order to fully experience my music. After I found a piano I wanted to purchase, owner Fred Goheen assisted me by inspecting it, appraising it, and advising me on the piano's true value. Fred found a potentially serious structural issue that I missed when inspecting the piano. I ultimately purchased the piano, had him repair the issue he found, and had him tune and voice the piano. As a direct result of working with Fred I now own a beautiful grand piano that is tuned to perfection and voiced to match my home's space. I highly recommend Fred and Goheen Piano and expect to continue using him for years to come."

"Fred has been tuning the pianos at First Lutheran Church for many years. His tuning is always wonderful, and he is good about getting the work done quickly so that all our instruments always sound their best for worship services and special events. A few years ago we were in the market for a new piano in our worship space so I immediately called Fred to see if he had any ideas or recommendations. Fred had some great ideas about what to look for, and even had some instruments for us to look at. We ended up buying a new Heintzman grand piano from him and we could not be more pleased with the quality of the instrument that he recommended or with his continued support of the instrument."

Gus Brockmann
Director of Worship, First Evangelical Lutheran Church, Longmont, CO



"Ever since I have been worship director of Calvary Church in Longmont, for the last 12 years, we have used Goheen Piano.  We have never been disappointed.  Fred is professional and kind and is always so willing to accommodate our needs.  Many times I have called at the last minute and Fred has always been able to help me out.  I wouldn't trust our church pianos to anyone else."

Kara G.


"Fred provides professional quality work at a very affordable price.  He's very accommodating in working around church schedules even when given short notice.  He knows the importance of a well tuned instrument to the quality of a music ministry and to protecting the investment of that instrument through regular maintenance.  I do not hesitate to recommend him frequently to other churches or individuals."

Principal Flutist, Longmont Symphony Orchestra



"We were in the market for a new piano and were given Fred’s name by our piano teacher.  I talked with Fred on the phone and he told me had a baby grand piano that sounded perfect for our family.  Upon seeing the piano and meeting Fred I knew we had found exactly what we were looking for.  Fred’s description of the piano was spot-on.  He walked me through every detail of the piano and all of his services.  We bought the piano and it’s perfect!  Fred has been out to tune our piano twice now.  He schedules an appointment and is there on time.  We couldn’t be happier!   Fred is a gem and loves his work!    We would recommend him to anyone!"  

Patty Bicknell, Longmont, CO


"Fred is absolutely delightful to work with! I have been teaching in the Longmont area for thirteen years and have known Fred for the past six. As a traveling piano teacher with a studio of 80 students, I hear a lot of painfully out-of-tune pianos, and when I do, I call Fred! He is my “go-to guy” for piano tuning and repair for my personal piano and the pianos of my students. Not only does he tune my piano to the point that it sounds precise and perfect, but he is also able to fix most anything, big or small. It is always a pleasure to play the piano when he is done, and I can always tell when he’s made a visit to a student’s home. Their piano sounds sweet, feels amazing, and lessons are lovely. He is always professional and patient and is the most reliable and talented piano technician I’ve ever met. Don’t let his humility fool you, Fred really knows his stuff! I highly recommend his services and work!!"

April Rothleutner, Piano Teacher


I discovered Goheen Piano through an internet search when our electric piano started having some issues. Fred was very prompt in his response to my request and flexible with my very busy schedule to plan a house visit to take a look at our piano. He worked diligently on repairing our very complicated problem and gave me honest and professional advice that I trusted and valued. We were on the search for a regular piano that was a great starter piano for our three young children. Fred assisted us with removing the old digital piano and bringing us a beautifully restored Story & Clark console piano on a trade-in agreement. He is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise. His prices were fair and service was top notch. We will most definitely be using him in the future for all our piano needs!

- Meg Ward, Frederick, CO



I was fortunate to find Fred early after our move to Colorado in 1995 and have availed myself of his services ever since.  Fred is extremely skilled at his work, has an excellent ear as well as all the tools necessary to do the job, and has the extra, very welcome AND rare ability to listen to the client's desires and needs for the sound of the instrument.  Whether working with an organization (as in a church or business) or an individual  he is always prompt, always courteous, and over the years I have come to think of him not just as a piano wizard but a trusted friend.  I highly recommend Fred in any of his piano- and musical capacities with no reservations whatsoever.

Being a complete novice when it comes to pianos, I feel absolutely lucky to have stumbled upon Fred Goheen and Goheen Pianos.  From the first conversation I had with Fred, I knew I found a real professional, for Fred’s knowledge of pianos is vast and helpful.  He sized up my situation quickly and made very accurate recommendations.    He was patient and kind with my lack of knowledge and experience, and by the end of that discussion, I was pleased to be dealing with an honest, dependable person.  After numerous calls and questions that followed, not only had I learned so much, but I was able to make sound decisions with confidence.  When Fred and his affable son Matt delivered the piano, they were capable, determined and careful when working around the limitations of my small house, narrow doorways and restricted floor space.  They spent so much time with me, making sure all was fine before leaving.  Since that day, Fred has serviced my piano, and scheduling that appointment was simple because he was completely accommodating to my needs.  It was as if I were his only customer!  I don’t live close to Berthoud, but that was no concern to Fred. He was here the next day on time and ready to spend as much time as needed.    I am so pleased with my experience with Fred and Goheen Piano.  Fred’s approach to his work and his customers harkens to days of yore when people took the time to treat each person with respect and care.  Fred is a gem, and it is comforting to know that Matt will continue the business.
