“I own a 1941 Wurlitzer that's steeped in family history. Dating back to the 1940's when my grandparents purchased it, it has survived decades of abuse, even surviving a fire that rendered it nearly unplayable. This is the same piano I grew up playing at my grandparents' house literally from the time I could crawl. After being restored the piano plays like it's brand-new, while still maintaining its unique characteristic tone. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine my kids striking the same keys I did all those years ago. I credit Piano Precision Services for restoring not only a piece of music history but a piece of our family.” Mike Reagan Composer www.mikereaganmusic.com‎

I have a 1922 Steinway B that has a beautiful tone, but the action played too heavy. In fact, an initial measurement of the key down weight came in at 62 grams (the standard is closer to 53 grams)! Playing on it was unwieldy and felt like running in sand. I talked to other technicians and got answers ranging from replacing pins to even replacing the hammers. As a last resort, I called Franco to see if he could help. We met, and I was impressed with his thorough knowledge of pianos and Steinways in particular. He took the action to his shop for about 10 days, and I can only say that the difference is astounding. The heaviness of the keys is gone, the down weight has been dramatically reduced, and the speed of repeated notes has come alive. Even the tone seems more luminous and singing. Franco has literally transformed my piano and now it is a joy to play. I would thoroughly recommed him to all my piano colleagues. Franco is a true master of his craft. Thanks so much!‎

I called Franco to ask if he could restore my Grandfather's 1967 Baldwin Acrosonic Spinet piano that I was relocating from Illinois to California. Though the piano is light years away from a Steinway or even a high-quality baby grand or upright, he not only took the time to answer my endless questions, he even called a mover and got me a quote that was almost $1000 less than the outfit I'd planned to go with. Two days after calling him, the piano was on the moving truck en route to his shop. He completely refurbished the piano inside and out, refinishing the wood to a beautiful dark brown and restoring the quality of sound I remember hearing in my youth. I am so pleased with the quality of Franco's work. I love playing this piano, and it looks beautiful in our home. Without question I would recommend his services. It was an effortless process on my part with 100% satisfaction from beginning to end.‎

Franco took the time to explain to me over the phone, step by step, on how to locate and fix the problem on my piano player, instead of coming over and charging me a service fee. I appreciate his honesty. Thanks again!‎

Franco is simply a genius at his craft, and he made my life long dream of owning a perfectly restored 1920s Steinway B, a reality that I enjoy every day. Indeed Franco and team are the best; honest, reliable, no BS, and skilled like very few are today. I felt good in his hands, and would recommend him to anyone looking for serious professional restoration or repair. My Steinway sings beyond my highest expectations, thanks to Franco and the entire Skilan family. Bravo ...
