Thank you, Rod, for the amazing restoration of our family piano.
My sister, Lois, organized a family ‘Open House’ this past Sunday featuring and celebrating the family’s restored Heintzman piano. The 100 year + piano is beautiful and it sounds as good as it looks! I must say, Rod, the restoration of the piano is more than I imagined it could be. Truly. Our family is very pleased to have done business with you and your company. I am one of many who are grateful and impressed.
My immediate family, husband Gordon and children Sarah and Matt take this opportunity to pass along our sincere thanks: to you, your Mother, your Father, may he rest in peace, your skilled craftsmen, and others who had a part in the restoration of our family’s precious piano. You have demonstrated your love and knowledge of the instrument and your remarkable skill as artist and craftsman.
Mom is thrilled and even though she can no longer move around easily, she sat on the new bench and played “her” piano on Sunday; it has never looked or sounded as good. I know this as I played it between the ages of 5 and 17! Dad and my Dad’s Mother, Mildred Cumming, would have enjoyed the celebration. The piano was Granny’s gift to the family in 1957. She was a pianist, composer, teacher, and Mother to 11 children – Granny and Great Granny to so many more. I remember her visit to our home in central Burnaby, by train from Ontario, to visit and to purchase the piano providing my Dad’s 4 children with the opportunity to learn how to play the piano. As I remember it, she purchased a family piano for each of her children’s homes. Thanks Mom, also a pianist, for choosing the ‘best one’ after playing many.
I will recommend you and your business to others considering piano restoration.
Consider me a ‘more than satisfied’ customer. Yours truly,
Connie Caldwell
