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."

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."

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."

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."

"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."
