"Just a line or two to say a big thank you for transforming my new Schimmel piano from that of a rough "honky-tonk", harsh sounding instrument into that of a sensitive, subtle and beautiful one now capable of great expression. It's hard to believe that a reputable Manchester-based music shop could sell and despatch a piano in such a bad state. Indeed, six visits by them in twelve months achieved little improvement. Thank heavens I discovered you, and after your inspection and careful regulation, tuning and voicing I now have an instrument worthy of the name Schimmel. I am so pleased and impressed." John Bullough, Organist/Director of Music, St John the Baptist Church, Rochdale, UK |

"I had many people look at my Bechstein piano to try and rectify its severe problems of touch and tone. You performed amazing work and now my piano gives me continuous pleasure." Rozmarijn Larssens of Mechelen, Belgium |

"I have always felt my Steinway piano could offer me more in tone quality and resonance. I'm so glad to have had you work on my piano, it is now exactly how I always wanted and expected it to be!" Bernard Griepinck of Meise, Belgium |

"For years I have hankered after a good quality piano. I am a rock/jazz musician, so usually have to put up with digital sounds/samplers. Whilst on holiday in France this year . . . [I came across] an 1883 ‘A’ model Steinway (built in Hamburg). I was in love. Before parting with a very large amount of cash, I wanted to ensure that the instrument was everything it seemed to be. I was fortunate to make contact with Aaron Shackleford, who is a very knowledgeable piano restorer from the North West of England. Within two weeks Aaron had agreed to travel . . . [to France] and examine the Steinway. Aaron knows his pianos, and gave me confidence to go ahead and make the purchase, making me the proud owner of the piano of my dreams. He verified the serial number/history of the instrument and the quality of the restoration, and went over all the various parts with a fine-tooth comb. All done without a hitch . . . Thanks Aaron, much appreciated." Ian Machin, rock and jazz musician, of Portsmouth, UK |

"Thanks for coming as punctual as always. The sound and tone of the piano sounds absolutely lovely now after you tuned it and did your usual enhancements to the instrument. As you know this is very important for [my daughter as] she is playing Grade 8 and above pieces." Nigel Humphreys of Walkden, UK |

"I'm very pleased to have met you: you clearly are a skilled piano technician. . . . You told me exactly what needed doing and did it quickly and efficiently. The piano is now much more responsive and really well regulated. Thank you very much. Oh yes, and because you are such an efficient worker, your charges are extremely reasonable." Jeremy Plummer, Music Director of St Margaret's Anglican Church, Prestwich, UK |
| "The positive difference you made to that Bechstein piano was amazing." Walter Vergaelen, conductor and pianist, of Mechelen, Belgium |
