Testimonials
“We are so grateful for your exceptional care and attention, as well as your lovely friendship! After 2.5 years, plus a move, our piano needed your love and brilliant care! Thank you for your gifts!”
“Thank you for all of the repairs and tuning. This old Heintzman is now a joy to play. It sounds fantastic and the repairs on the whites look and feel amazing. We appreciate the quality and precision of your work. ”
“You will not go wrong hiring Stephen as your piano tuner/technician. I have a beautiful Petrof that needed tuning and I was shocked at how much better it sounded once he tuned it and repaired a thing or two. It resonated so richly, it sung!
He is very personable, he was helpful in answering any questions I had.
5 out of 5 stars for this guy. If you get him as a tuner consider yourself lucky and taken care of by the best.”

“Would like to say thank you for the wonderful work you did tuning the pianos... both the other organist and myself immediately noticed the sound of the two instruments together. We both agreed that it has been a very long time since the two instruments blended so well together. There were many positive comments from people in the congregation about the sound of the piano as well... I have also been enjoying my piano at home, so thank you very much.”
“I would like to thank Stephen for his exceptional work on my upright Hailun. My piano was not only out of tune, it also had several technical issues with the hammers and pedal. Stephen was knowledgeable, focused and friendly, working for over four hours straight on my piano. In the end, he brought my piano back to life and I fell in love with it all over again. I highly recommend his services, and will be working with him again in the future.”
“The piano sounds amazing and you did such a great job. Thanks so much for your hard work, I really appreciate you taking the time.”
