July 17, 2014“I can’t thank you enough for the transformation you have wrought on my poor old Steinway piano. It’s action responds to my touch now and the case looks like a piano right out of the showroom. I do not remember it when it was originally this color, but my parents say this is what it used to look like, and the way it plays is just a pleasure for all of us. It’s such a relief to have this piano in excellent condition—I tended to regard it as a pile in the corner of the room, a monster mountain I had to climb every time I wanted to play it or do chorus arrangements, not really a friend, just a thing I had to use. Now it has become a valuable and central resident of the room, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’m heading to it’s keyboard right now, and I have you to thank for this. I believe I chose the right people to renovate my piano, and I thank you sincerely.”
