Most recently, up in halcyon Rhinebeck County he worked once again on the first guitar I ever brought him in about '84, my Guild F-20 NT; adding a Piezo Pickup, Gold Locking Sperzels and new frets via the killer Plek Machine. Decades of experience and state of the art equipment in the hands of a master put this old guitar in terrific intonation over the whole fretboard and bring out its inner crackle. The little extra one pays is commensurate to the outcome. Without a doubt, the latest work makes my Guild acoustic more viable and play better than ever! The test of quality for me is that I can't stop playing it, and its treatment makes challenging playing inviting. If you want your instrument at its best, Peekamoose is where it's at.

The amenities are incredible - dishwasher, washer and drier, a/c and a wonderfully complete kitchen (even had a juicer). Everyone had their own bed. It was super clean and we all loved the outdoor shower and baths. Sean and helpers were incredibly accomodating, and were available for help whenever we needed them. But at the same time, we never really knew they were around which allowed us to thoroughly enjoy some incredible solitude. The grounds are beautiful and wonderfully maintained without interfering with the natural surroundings. This place is perfect for those who enjoy being surrounded by nature's beauty without paying an arm and a leg. I looked a long time before I found this incredible space for a fantastic price. Thanks so much Artfarm. We'll be back!

The land is beautiful and backs up to some serious woods that were packed with newts and salamanders (very healthy ecosystem). We made use of the two four foot smokers, the large outdoor grills, and the kitchen. I looked extensively before booking and this was by far the best value in Hudson valley region. This would work equally well for a family as for large groups (like us). Beautiful scenery, great people to give business to, great amenities! Enjoy!

I have two pianos that needed tuning and some key issues attended to. I called and the appointment…read morewas quickly made and arrived on time. My Young Chang baby grand had not been tuned in many years and also has a Pianocorder system installed back in the 70's. Chris fixed a couple of piano key issues and carefully tuned the piano. The action and sound is a pleasure to play and listen to. Chris had to leave to be on time for another appointment and later the same day returned to tune my Yamaha CP80 Electric stringed Grand Piano which had not been tuned since the '80's. Finally, both pianos function beautifully and bring their wonderful sounds back into my home. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your prized possessions you can depend on New York Piano Works to give you great service and value.

Sharing my review from Google - If you love your piano, this is the guy to go to!!…read moreMy baby grand piano is over 100 years old so I didn't think there was anything that could be done to improve how it sounds. It had been tuned before by someone else, and it sounded "ok" for awhile, but there were keys not responding, with some even sticking, and it just didn't have the responsiveness that made playing it enjoyable. And after having just been tuned, it didn't sound like anything more than an old "tinny" piano sound. So it sat for over a year not getting played. I lost interest because it was just "too hard" to play. After reminding myself that time passes whether we accomplish anything or not (let's not forget 2020), I called Scott to come look it over and see if I could find some enjoyment in playing again, with a piano that sounded better. He looked it over carefully, determined it could be tuned and serviced, and explained how all the little pieces worked, or didn't work, in my case! It was fascinating to see the inside workings! Scott went about dismantling it, showing me all that it needed, but discussing with me what could/should be done now vs. what could be done later down the road, like replacing the keys or refinishing. The result - a spectacularly sweet "voice" emerged out of MY piano that I never thought could happen from a piano this old! Who even knew that my piano had a distinct "voice"?? And the "action" of the keys was significantly improved! I couldn't believe it! I spent the whole next day in front of the piano practicing! If you are concerned about quality service, need an honest assessment, and really care about your piano, call Scott. He emailed appointment details and a reminder, and then a follow up "thank you" email, to check in, and he listed everything that he had done. While at the house, he explained clearly and thoroughly what he was accomplishing, and was very personable, even making friends with my cat, who seemed to want to be a part in the action! Bottom line: Scott can help you with your tuning requirements or really dig deep to making your specific piano everything you want it to be!
