What I Do
I take pride in my work and I provide precise, clean, musical tuning and quality regulating and repairing.
I am able to tune both by ear and with a electronic tuning device.
I use test blows, intervals and chords to check the unisons and stability of my tunings.
For final check, I play several pieces of music to ensure the octave stretch and my tuning sound musical to the ear.

Saun-Cheng Lee has been my piano tuner for many years. She always does an incredible job, and I recommend her to all of my students. I appreciate that she takes her time and does not rush. She stays until the piano is just perfect! After many bad tunings in the past, I only call Saun-Cheng. In addition to being a stellar tuner and piano technician, she is also a woman of great integrity. I highly recommend her to anyone needing service for their piano.

I moved to Houston 5 years ago and after searching for a professional piano technician, I finally met the fantastic Saun Lee! She has been taking care of my Steinway grand piano for the past three years. She is a perfectionist with fantastic skills as a technician and she puts her heart into doing the right job. I was a Julliard School graduate and a former faculty at the Mannes College of Music in New York. I highly recommend Saun Lee, she is the best technician I have ever used!

I was so impressed by how quickly I received a response and was able to schedule my piano for a tuning. Saun Lee is an outstanding technician who not only does a great job with the maintenance and up-keeping of my Yamaha C5, she is knowledgeable and her skills are first rate. Saun is kind-hearted, honest, and will make sure her work is completely satisfactory to your liking. She provides you with recommendations without pressure and give advice with sufficient support through experience. I don't trust just anybody with my baby, and I trust her with my piano completely. After a few hours with Saun Lee, your piano will THANK YOU!

After our recent move, it was necessary for me to have my two Steinway grand pianos tuned, and I asked Saun Lee to tune both of them for me. One is a model L built in New York City, while the other is a model B built in Hamburg, Germany. Saun was one of my piano students in the Moores School of music of the University of Houston, and we have remained in close touch since she received her Master's degree in Piano Performance. I knew that she has since had excellent training as a piano technician, so I feel confident in asking her to tune my two pianos. Saun did a truly fine job on both pianos, and I can wholeheartedly recommends her to anyone needing her service.

Just recently, my friend Saun Lee tuned my 6ft. 3 Baldwin Grand piano. I was very well pleased with her work. She is very knowledgable about the piano, being an acomplished pianist with a strong technique, and an incredible ear for just the right sounds and pitches. So , I definitely feel her credentials as a piano tuner are of a high level of tuning.

Two weeks ago I performed a solo recital on a 1983 Hamburg Steinway Model B that SAUN LEE had prepared at The Buckingham Retirement Community in Houston, Texas. The concert tuning she did was superb. The piano sounded marvelous and held its tune solidly throughout the performance. I will definitely engage her for future concert tunings when visiting the Houston area.
I am pleased to recommend SAUN LEE as a piano tuner/technician of outstanding quality.

I am a mother of a 6 year old who just started piano lessons. Her teacher suggested buying a used acoustic piano for her to practice on. I was excited and eager to buy my little Mozart her first piano. I obsessively checked different piano stores and the internet for the perfect piano when I came across a name brand piano which was listed at a very reasonable price and the seller on craigslist noted that it was in "great condition".
This is when Saun comes in. Having no experience with pianos, I decided to have the piano inspected. After speaking with her, she was able to offer her services in a very short time frame. We met and Saun was very thorough and professional in her inspection.
I was so ready to take home what looked like a pristine piano. Unfortunately, Saun explained to me about the major problems with the piano. Despite the fact that I was not technically informed, she used language that I could understand. I was still not phased by the news. I asked if she could repair it. While, she said she could, she candidly described to me that even with expensive restoration, the piano would likely continue to have problems and would not be worth it the investment.
After our home being flooded, money was tight. I saved $1400 plus upwards of $600 in repairs. It is evident that Saun is highly trained in her profession and very meticulous with her work.
She is one of the most trustworthy and knowledgeable people I have met. She cares about her clients and I will definitely recommend her to friends and anyone needing piano services.

I have a Steinway B that was built in the 1940's. It has been in my family for over 55 years and is a very precious instrument to us. I searched the Internet for a competent Steinway technician and found Saun. She was extremely professional in every way. She tuned and repaired the piano at a very reasonable rate! I totally enjoyed all dealings with her and found her to be thoroughly knowledgeable in every aspect of maintaining pianos, as well as teaching. I'm so pleased to have found a fabulous new tuner/technician for my wonderful piano, as well as finding a delightful new friend and colleague. I highly recommend Saun!!
