I found an old beat up 100 year old grand piano at a used furniture store. It did not look too great, poorly refinished, etc. I called Tom to come and take a look, and we decided to have him completely restore, refinish, and rebuild the entire piano to make it as if it were brand new. A few months later, the piano that arrived at my door was not recognizable as the old beat up piano I bought. It looks and sounds absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend.

Tom expertly moved a baby grand piano to my home, and was able to repair and tune it to perfection. His skill and knowledge is second to none and I wouldn't use anyone else. I would highly recommend him and Piano Forte.

Tom was wonderful working with me and a moving company that damaged my piano in my move. The piano looks amazing and Tom has provided excellent service making sure everything is perfect! He is top notch and extremely knowledgeable.

Tom spent a lot of time and patience on my out of tune piano, having to do some painstaking work in addition to tuning it. He is tryly an artist in his approach to the piano. He explained everything so that I could understand the process. My piano sounds beautiful now (and I will certainly have him back to keep it that way). Whatever issues you may have with your piano, Tom will be able to help you and will exceed your expectations!

Tom was excellent at fixing our piano. We were gifted a 100 year old piano that hadn't been tuned or fixed in the at least 30 years. We were told by other piano guys that is was not possible to really get it working. But one visit from Tom and we were convinced to updated the whole thing. Now it's completely in tune and sounds like it could be on a stage. Thanks Tom!

Our great grandmother's 1903 piano sat, uncovered and not played, in our basement for over fifty years. When we decided to try to restore it, a trusted furniture restoring frineds told us to only call Piano Forte. Eleven months later, it is now in our living room and, miraculously, is as beautiful as it had to have been 116 years ago. It takes a true artist to restore an antique piano to such a level.

Tom at Piano Forte completed a pitch raise, fine tuned the action and shaved the felt on hammers. He'll be back next week for a full tune on our Young Chang baby grand. Nice guy who knows his pianos inside and out.

Tom & his team were excellent to work with. Moving a baby grand piano and tuning in just a short afternoon. Experienced, careful, and great to work with.
Christopher Horvath
Tom at Piano Forte did a careful and efficient job moving an old piano from my parents’ house to mine. With his expertise, he was able to get a piano that hadn’t been tuned for 30 years sound fantastic!

Tom Budjanek came on time, (which is so rare these days!) He turned our 45 year old piano into a true beautiful sounding musical instrument we can again be proud of! We treasure his excellent talent, his courteous personality and his professional demeanor.
Look no further... Piano Forte is the real deal!
