Vernon is fantastic! He's incredibly professional and always friendly. He's got a deep understanding of what he does, I can definitely tell he has plenty of experience. My piano, which is a second-hand one, desperately needed tuning. Vernon did an excellent job, and it sounds wonderful now. He's also proactive about reminding me when it's time for cleaning and tuning. Not to mention, he noticed the worn-out felt on the keys and replaced it too. I've been relying on his services for quite some time, and he's essentially become the go-to "doctor" for my piano. I'd definitely recommend Vernon to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional.

Absolutely fantastic work repairing and tuning our piano on short notice. Completely amazed at how much work he put into making it sound great after many years. 100% will have him come back and maintain the piano, and heartily recommend.

Vernon was great. He’s done an amazing job tuning my piano, which needed it badly. I highly recommend him to anyone. I’ll be reaching out to him again next year for a re-tune.
