Our testimonials
“Howard regularly tunes my piano. He is a master craftsman and such a knowledgeable technician. He recently helped to enhance the aesthetics of my piano through intense, delicate, meticulous cleansing, polishing and touching up of the internal mechanisms including the soundboard, dampers, pins, felts and wood. My 122 year old piano has had the most wonderful face lift! I am so grateful to Howard for helping me maintain my lovely piano, using his skills and expertise.”

“Howard has been tuning and repairing my old upright Broadwood for some years now and I'm always amazed at how much better it feels and sounds after one of his visits! The piano was an old refurbished upright purchased from proceeds of my parents estate almost 30 years ago and a lovely reminder for me. Despite it being a bit temperamental with sticky keys etc during the winter, Howard always manages to resurrect it with his expert experience and knowledge so I am more than happy to recommend his expertise.”

“My piano sounds amazing after Howard tuned it. I neglected my piano for quite a long time but I just couldn't stop playing after he left. I was filled with lots of memories and love while playing and truly enjoyed the precious moment. Thank you!”
