In three sessions, for much less than it would've cost us to buy a used piano in as playable of a state, Scott was able to turn the piano around to be playable. He gave us tips on some of the repairs we could do ourselves to save money, and really seemed to understand our needs exactly. He was exceptionally professional and reliable. He spent every minute hard at work and definitely earned his fee. He was good at communicating what he was doing and why, and was able to give us an accurate estimate on the first day. Moreover, Scott is a personable guy, the quintessential piano guy in fact!

He had explained the process and expected charges in his email, and did so again throughout the process of tuning the piano. He is very knowledgeable about tuning pianos, and got the piano back in working order. Several keys were sticking prior to his tuning and he was able to fix them. He is also very personable, making the whole process an overall good experience. I would highly recommend him.

I'm a singer-songwriter and I've been at it for over 50 years. I visited Terry Flynn's studio and…read moreshow room recently, and purchased a 1926 Mason and Hamlin grand that had been totally restored by Terry and his amazing technicians. He was kind, patient and gracious - explaining each step and process. His technician,Marianka, took the time and care to pull the action and show me everything she had (lovingly) done on this piano. I purchased the Mason and Hamlin, trading my 6'3 Baldwin. Today, Terry and his wonderful staff delivered this gorgeous instrument to my home in Western Mass. The only thing more magnificent than this beautifully restored piano was the care they took in removing my Baldwin and setting up the Mason. Absolutely seamless and expert. I've moved the Baldwin several times in the last 31 years, and I've never seen movers with the skill and care that the Flynn group had. If you're looking for a piano company for tuning, restoration, repair or advise - Terry Flynn and company is a brilliant choice. I couldn't be happier.

Simply put, RJ Stohr Jewelers excels. Several weeks ago, I was in town visiting family, and my…read morecladdagh ring broke. On a recommendation, I brought it to Stohr for the repair. While there, we also asked them to take a 36" strand of pearls which my wife inherited from her mother and make two 18" strands for our granddaughters. Frankly, I was surprised at the prices of the pearls and the repair. Fast forward a few weeks and we were back in town and brought in several pieces for cleaning and repairs. Yeah, these folks are so good at what they do, and so reasonable in their pricing that we now save our jewelry issues for RJ Stohr Jewelers. I'd like to think, of all their customers, we travel the furthest to do business with them. But, given how good they are and how well they treat their customers, I'm sure they have many long-distance customer relationships. Keep up the good work, Rick, Ben, Norm, and everyone at RJ Stohr Jewelers!

He was business-like, polite, and had no problem answering my questions...which I expect of every small business. If you are going in there with the expectation of purchasing a $99.00 vacuum you probably are in the wrong establishment...head to Wal-Mart, or Target. KENTS products are Top of the line, imho. Jeff knows well his products and as far as I could tell was quite fine with answering any legitimate questions you may have. What a bit surprising to me was, there was no PUSH to buy a vacuum I didn't need, or a more expensive model. I have multiple dogs, and needed a vac that could handle the normal day to day stuff, + dog hair. The Sebo Felix would do the job, and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. It was a good shopping experience. I'd do business there again in a heat-beat, but since I bought the Sebo, I expect I won't have to. See ya in another 26 years...that how long my Miele lasted. "Miele rhymes with Sheila" Thank you Jeff for the help, and for carrying my German made vac out to my German car.

When I got home it turned out he didn't do anything about the monitor problem, and I don't believe he did anything to the USB ports, there was nothing wrong with them to begin with and I didn't authorize him to mess with them.
