Dear Graham & David,

A big thank you for the really wonderful job you have done on my Bechstein V upright.

It is especially remarkable as you took the job on with the piano in pieces, after I abandoned my ill-advised attempts at amateur restoration. I had managed to French polish some of the panels (the easy bits) but there was much I hadn't started and, to make things worse, there was damage to the veneer and, in places, evidence of my clumsy attempts to repair it. The innards were also completely dismantled, so it had not been played for years.

Somehow you managed to turn this pile of bits into a beautiful instrument. It now looks better than I ever thought it could, the veneer beautifully repaired and the French polishing bringing out the best in the mahogany finish. It sounds lovely too. I've had to readjust to playing an acoustic piano after years with only an electronic one, but it amply repays the effort with its warm tone and responsive touch.

Many thanks for all this, the piano will be played a lot and will give years of pleasure. 


Best regards
Jim Prior

Dear Graham


I would like to thank you once again for the lovely service you have provided me with. I am absolutely delighted with my new piano; it looks amazing and I cannot believe the transformation from when I first saw it in your workshop (all lonely and abandoned) to now. The care, attention to detail and loving both you and Harry put into restoring my Thurmer are admirable. It sounds lovely and it looks amazing. Thank you also for being so patient with my stool choice and for being able to replace it when we realised the colour was too dark compared to the piano itself; your customer service skills go a long way and I will most certainly come back to do more business with you and I would recommend you to anyone who is looking to buy a piano a receive great service.

Warm Regards

Fran
