"I engaged AcoustiCraft to rebuild my Steinway piano in 1978. It is every bit the excellent instrument today, in 2002, as it was when it was initially returned to me. The real proof of their exceptional talent comes from all of the professional musicians who love their work. As a concert pianist, I have often hosted colleagues from around the world at my home. There we have set up master classes and concerts using this piano. All the pianists who have played this instrument remark on its fine tone, its power, and how satisfying it is to play."

"Originally recommended to me by my brilliant tuner/technician, Evan Giller, I took the step of having AcoustiCraft perform a complete rebuilding on my Steinway piano. The result was one of exquisite mastery, and four years later I continue to be thrilled by the instrument. The new soundboard has the phenomenal ability to sustain massive and infinite variety of tone, and the dampers, installed by Karen Robinson, allow for a precise and sensitive ability for pedal control and key release that I had not experienced until now. I am amazed, delighted and grateful for AcoustiCraft's miraculous and dedicated work, and would recommend them to any musician without reservation."

"In 1991, Chrsitopher Robinson of AcoustiCraft restored for me a Mason & Hamlin BB grand built in 1930. The restoration included a new pinblock, soundboard, bridgecaps, strings, and tuning pins. The original plate was rebronzed and new dampers were installed. The original casework was refinished. The entire restoration was meticulous. Mr. Robinson has regularly maintained the instrument. After eleven years, the piano is as fine as when it was restored."

"I sent my first piano to AcoustiCraft for restoration about 20 years ago. Since that time, they have restored many pianos for both my private clients as well as my institutional accounts. Whether replacing a soundboard, installing a new action, or refinishing the case, the results have always been the same: a beautiful-sounding piano, the highest level of workmanship and close attention to all details to insure the instrument is restored to it's originally intended condition. Working with Chris and Karen at AcoustiCraft through the years has been a pleasure."

"AcoustiCraft soundboard replacements offer unsurpassed quality with the finest tone, sustain, and power I haver ever seen in a piano. The stringing is artwork, and their pinblocks offer the most careful tuning imaginable."

"I have appreciated your work for over twenty years and been grateful to have been able to sub-contract to you on more than one occasion. You have in that time demonstrated sound expertise and dedicated craftsmanship above and beyond the level of anyone else I have seen in our industry. Ambient Recording Studio's Steinway concert grand, fitted with a complete new keyboard, action, and backaction, shepherded by Nonesuch Records has helped to establish Ambient as one of the premier studios for the recording of jazz and classical music. My Association with you has been one of my few treasures; it has been an honor to know you..."
