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.

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.

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.
