Excellent Repair and Restoration

Cathy , Cranberry Twp, PA

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!

An Excellent Experience

Jennifer T., Sewickley, PA

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.

Fantastic Piano Restoration

Thomas Michael, Park Hills, KY

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.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Steve, Green Township, PA

Wow! What a difference! Tom's work on my 1905 upright was top notch. He took the time to walk me through what needed to be done and why, which I truly appreciated. It sounds better than it ever has! Great guy! Great service! Thanks again Tom!

My parents would be so proud!

Candace Jackson, Pittsburgh, PA

So glad I made the decision to have my childhood piano refurbished instead of throwing or giving it away. Tom was awesome! The piano looks better than it did 50 years ago and worth a lot more now too! It was full of dust, discolored, keys were yellow and stuck. Now it is clean as a whistle inside and out! The keys are immaculate and each works. The pedals are gold and he even made me a bench to match the piano! I’ll be using him for tuning now also. Thanks Piano Forte!

I know my parents are so proud of me!

Candace Jackson, Pittsburgh,Pa

I’m so glad I didn’t give my childhood piano away or junk it. I asked around and someone referred me to Piano Forte. I’m so glad they did. My piano had not been tuned over 50 years and was full of dust. Piano Forte came to my home and immediately seen its potential! It’s beautiful now! It looks better that it did when it was bought 50 years ago and it’s worth a lot more also. Everyone that comes to my home admires it from the door. The inside is just as beautiful. Thank you Piano Forte!

A True Miracle

Dawne S., Moon Township, PA

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 friend 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 the Piano Man

Colleen B., Pittsburgh, PA

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

My Piano is Like New

Nancy H., Sewickley, PA

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 truly 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!

My Wonderful Experience

Lindsay Z, Pittsburgh, PA

Tom Budjanec, who owns Piano Forte, is the best! My mother bought our upright piano from Tom. He tunes it, and he helped me move it into my new home. I trusted him to move it, and I live on a hill! He and his movers did a superb job! What separates Tom is his expertise and his caring nature. He is not only good at what he does but he is passionate about it. He wants to bring the love of music into people's lives. I will never go to anyone else! I can't say more amazing things about him!
