Vernon was great. He’s done an amazing job tuning my piano, which needed it badly. I highly recommend him to anyone. I’ll be reaching out to him again next year for a re-tune.

Vernon was very quick to respond. We spoke on the phone to set up my lessons. He sounds very nice. Have my first lesson in December and am looking forward to it.
