Action Piano Company

Heller Brothers Player Piano (1923)
"Andy, thanks again for the wonderful, incredible job you and the gang did - you took a forlorn, forgotten instrument and brought it back to life. Perhaps it is better now than it ever was. It is so gratifying to watch and listen to the Heller do its thing - and the Strauch mechanism just works like a charm - the music actually reflects the color of the pianist (in this case Liberace - you can actually hear his style in the music and you know that his work was mastered on the roll).
Thanks again Andy and all the best always to you and the wonderful crew at Action."
 R. C., Trenton, NJ 3/25/03

Chickering Square Grand Piano (1865)
"It's really nuts trying to settle into the idea that the piano's actually mine and it's so perfect. I had put a mental lock on having a square grand from when I was a kid...I know that sounds corny...but it was the type I always wanted - the fact that I found you guys seems to mean to me that I was at the right place at the right time. You guys really are amazing :)
I truly love it...and enjoy playing it and having such a wonderful instrument in my house. You guys truly did an amazing job...something I had no doubts of but was still so pleasantly surprised."
P.L., Jersey City, NJ 2/11/03

 N.S., Liberty, NC 11/12/02

Weser Brothers Player Piano (1929)
"Let me thank you over + over for giving me a real piano. What pleasure it gives me to sit and play, the keys working so beautifully to help me in my restricted manner.

HENRY F. MILLER, GRAND PIANO (1937)
" I wish to thank you and your staff for the fine restoration of my mother's piano. The results were beyond my expectations. I never thought that the piano would have the appearance and sound quality, which you were able to renew in an instrument that was built 70 years ago.

Yesterday, my father and brother's family visited us in our new home. This was the first time they had seen the piano, since it left our family home. They were very impressed with the softness of your Deeptone, Satin Lacquer Finish. It looks as though the antique finish is part of the wood, as there are no drips or runs, and the overall effect has no high gloss, which would indicate an aftermarket restoration.

After our dinner, we had a friend come by and played several selections on the newly installed keyboard and strings. She was quite complimentary of the action, and the sound quality was superb.

I am very pleased with all of the work on the piano. Thank you for all of your advice, and the timeliness in which all was completed. It certainly was money well spent to protect an important part of our family's memories. Please feel free to use me as a reference for your company. I will gladly recommend Action Piano Company to anyone wishing to use your services."
 SCM, Mountain Top, PA 4/9/07

"I am so happy with your professionalism, knowledge and sense of humor! You have made this whole process a joy. If there were more people in the world like you we would be in a much better place right now!
All the best to you and please thank all the folks who worked on my sweet Winter. Please let them know that this piano has been a life long dream and they (and you) have made it come true." 3/24/07
"Greetings from rainy New England. I am so enjoying playing my new/old Winter baby grand.... thanks to you! There are no words to let you know how happy and appreciative I am... not only for the superb restoration job you did on my 'baby' but, the professionalism, reliability, humor, knowledge and honesty you bring to your work. You are a very special person and I am grateful to have found you."
DR, Narragansett, RI 6/9/07

Weaver Pump Organ, (1870-1900)

.
"You have given me more information than I could have ever hoped for in

well informed regarding pump organs in general, and my grandmothers
(mother') specifically."
MJ, Green Bay, WI 1/24/08
Newman Brothers Organ, Sold by Rosche (1885)
 "As I told Andy in our conversation this evening,  Bob and I were speechless, and humbled, when we saw the pictures of the completed organ last night.  We were gone most of today but checked our email when we returned home this afternoon.  I was just starting to write you an email note when you called.
 We are in awe of your ability to bring our organ back to its full glory.  When we received the first pictures of the organ in pieces we knew you had to know what you were doing.  We now know that you are truly gifted artists.  We thank you, for the care, the patience, the attention to detail, and the labor of love that you have performed in bringing our organ to a truly magnificent state.  We have eagerly awaited this day when the restoration was completed and are looking forward to its homecoming! 
We know of several places that sell older pianos and organs and will be letting them know of your company and what incredible work you do.
Again, you have our most sincere thanks"
AD, Tumacacori, AZ   7/1/08
Sherlock Manning Pump Organ, (1905)
"Dear Andy, I can't tell you how absolutely thrilled I am with my organ-- It has never looked so beautiful-- nor have I ever been able to play it with so little effort- I can't tell you enough what a fantastic job you and your crew have done- Use me for a referral any time you wish- Doing business with you was so easy, satisfying-- everything you told me was true-  Thanks to your talents- I was able to save an historic instrument-and what a sweet sound it gives forth- The stool looks great as well This was not a Sherlock Manning original- but all My mother could find-- If you ever come across an original organ bench that was used with this organ- I would be interested in obtaining same  Thanks again for wonderful work!!!-- Linda- PS- I also value your knowledge re history, care."
