| You are the professional from the professionals in the harpsichord maintanence! My Kirkman double plays even better than new. | A.S. Taipei Taiwan May 15 2007 |
I have the Watts pianoforte in my house…It arrived without any problems. The piano is much better than the photos. I am very pleased with its condition, and it appears to have a good tone. Your work in re-stringing the piano, is artwork, in and of itself. I would like to thank you, for making this transaction as troublefree, as it has been. You have gone above and beyond, and have been thorough and meticulous with your attention to this purchase. |

| I have just been playing my harpsichord (François Couperin) and have been enjoying it very much. It is so much easier to play more accurately and control the nuances and articulation and because I can now really hear the bass and tenor so much better I get much more a feel of dialogue between the treble and bass. I really enjoy both sets of strings now and am hearing new characters for some of my old favourite pieces emerge…I am very grateful for all the work and thought you have put into it, it feels and sounds as if its character has really come out and beckons me to play! | A.W.

| Many thanks for your excellent manual and the perfect finish of the components. | R.B. Cambridge, UK January 3 2007 |
| A million thanks, Carey, for walking me through the construction
of the Delin Spinet. Your responses to my plaintive email requests for assistance were always prompt, to the point, immensely helpful, and always encouraging… |

| I write this e-mail just to thank you for the great job done on the spinet. You gave me back a completely new and reliable instrument. | E.B. Canberra, ACT Australia June 1 2006 |
| Your little packet arrived yesterday. So thanks to your advice I can now replace a broken string, a broken plectrum, tune the instrument to a temperament and relax after an apparent catastrophe. This is what I call progress! | M.M. Warsaw, Poland February 20 2006 |
| Many thanks for your work last Friday in such a short notice. Harpsichord is behaving very well now and I have a pleasure to practice and play again. | M.K. Sydney, NSW Australia October 17 2005 |
| You rock. You know more than the […] people. | V.H. Oakland, California USA September 29 2005 |
| Your devotion to the harpsichord and the great technical skills you possess are truly remarkable. What you have done to my Neupert is beyond belief. I knew it had possibilities, but it now far surpasses my fondest expectations. Besides everything working correctly, the action is much more smooth, and I can now see why you keep your hands so close to the keys in performance. It’s a totally new experience. It’s feeling and sounding like a completely new instrument, and I can hardly keep my hands off of it. I played several hours each day since you left. To put it mildly,“I’M ASTONISHED!! You are a travelling MAGICIAN!!” | W.C. Cambria, California USA August 18 2005 |
| Thank you for your maintenance. The instrument is now in good shape and shall be used in our summer concert series. | I.H. Porvoo, Finland June 27 2005 |
| Thank you for your very expert help. I look forward to a long association over time. | R.V. San Juan, Puerto Rico June 26 2005 |
| Playing my harpsichord is always a pleasure for me. Before it had not a real identity in the sound, and now I am very happy with it. The revoice is good for me : a lot of “caractère”, not so hard, not so soft. Thank you very much. | I.P. Veurey-Voroize, France June 19 2005 |
| I am really grateful that you did such a wonderful job on the repair... :) | T.Y. Singapore May 25 2005 |
| You must come by in any case to catch up and see your Grimaldi, this fantastic intrument is just getting better and better, both the tone and the contrast in the voices has changed significantly over the last 18 months, it’s bigger and beefier all round, with all my listening I rate yours as one of the very first rank. It remains completely bulletproof: I tuned in December and had to do so again mid Feb, but only because I needed something more compromising than the meantone it was standing in!! | D.B. Brisbane, QLD Australia March 21 2005 |
| It was wonderful to see you, and I am very pleased with your work on the Kennedy. You know how to bring out the character of the instrument very well! | D.C. Hong Kong May 18 2003 |
