My Mellor Cabinet Grand had not had any professional attention in 30 years. With Covid keeping me…read moreat home, I began playing my piano again. It was not horribly out of tune, but I thought why not treat myself to a fresh start. Tom Budjanec of Piano Forte, located in Ambridge, PA, answered my call immediately. We scheduled a service call within a day. He adjusted the action on all of the keys, sanded the felt hammers, and tuned it twice with a weeks time in between. OH MY GOODNESS!!! It is a revelation and a joy to play now. Certainly this is money well spent for the pleasure I am getting from the restored sound. Piano Forte will not only repair, tune and restore your piano, but do it promptly and at a fair price. Call Tom.

Jimmy made a house call to tune my upright piano that has been neglected for a tuning for about…read morethree years. I found his number off his website, texted him, and he promptly responded with recommendations times that he was free. He sent a reminder text the day before the appointment, arrived promptly, and efficiently got to work on the piano. It now sounds great, and he even managed to repair a loose screw inside the piano that was affecting one of the keys. I'd highly recommend him as a tuner, and was very pleasant to interact with.

After…read moredoing some research on piano movers in the area, he was first on my list, based on his online post warning people about the true cost of a "free" piano. I gave him a call, and he picked up right away to give me an estimate and get the scheduling process started. On the day of the move, his piano inspection services came in handy, as he pointed out an issue that ultimately didn't dissuade me but definitely informed my expectations about what I might expect from the lifetime of the piano and the potential cost of repairs. He tested the action, inspected the soundboard, bridge, and more, delivering little lessons along the way to make sure I could understand. If I were to pick a mover again today, it would without a doubt be Jordan!

I won't give one star because he was prompt in returning calls and trying to get me scheduled. But…read morethe other reviewer's experience that he "definitely had an attitude" and "gave me a nasty feeling even in a short interaction" corresponds with my experience. I was surprised at his extreme confidence and commanding, rapid speech when I first talked with him. However, I just chalked it up to his personality as someone who was confident that he knew how to run a business in his area of expertise. But he was not very flexible in working with my schedule at all. He told me what he was going to do whether it worked with my schedule or not. He wanted to come into my new house when I wasn't there to drop off a piano. When I tried to explain to him that I couldn't accommodate a certain change because of another contractor's sudden change (I have had both my main moving company and the flooring company reschedule appointments multiple times), and I might have to look at other companies because of the short time frame, he snapped: "Go with another company. You're too difficult to work with." To which I responded, "You're kind of a * too." I know, I shouldn't have, and I regret snapping back at him. But he was definitely a "my way or the highway kind of guy" and came off as pretty arrogant. If you are able to work with him and stay on his good side, you may get a good price.

I have tried two other violin shops in Pittsburgh area, they were both OK but I was not highly impressed. I took a leap of faith with Wexford Violin Shop and I am glad I did. The owner Mike is an accomplished cellist so he knows what is needed from a musician's perspective. He did an amazing job fixing up my old cello. He put in a new bridge, adjusted the sound post and changed out non-functioning tuning pegs with Wittner geared pegs. It plays effortlessly thanks to the wonderful set up. The service fee is very reasonable and is worth every penny I spent. Thanks to Mike's fantastic work, I can now enjoy my cello again. Mike even played a few songs for me on my cello. I don't think I have ever heard my cello sounded that beautiful ever before. I will be bringing my other cello there for a tune up in the near future. Highly recommended this place.

He deciphered an obscure hammer position adjustment on a Hailun studio grand piano. He remarked, "I live for this!" when presented with this particularly elusive challenge. This was further complicated by the fact that the piano was placed in an area with humidity and temperature fluctuations, ultimately leading to sticking jacks. He presented an excellent set of recommendations for maintaining the health and improving the function of our piano moving forward. He touched on the fact that a specific type of regulation would greatly improve the sound and increase the responsiveness of the action, and he offered it as a part of the long-term plan for our investment. There's nothing about the service we received from Mr. Hernandez it was lacking in quality or reliability; we would absolutely recommend his services to any piano owner!

Quotes ranged from $450-$1,100 and the closest availability was a few weeks out. I called Jordan Dietrich and he came in with by far the best quote. He also apologized that he was booked until the end of the week....He then offered to come the next day. Superb availability. The move itself? They got the baby grand out of the house (it was down the street), into mine, put the legs and pedals back on, and inspected the entire instrument in under an hour. I was BLOWN away at this and so happy to have my dream instrument so soon. I cannot recommend Jordan enough.
