Anything we wanted to play was pulled down off the rack for me and tuned on the spot.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Stuart (from a distance) for a number of years. I live in Hawaii…read moreand stumbled onto Stuart through the internet when seeing one of his acoustic archtop guitars,the Church on the web. I was blown away. Stuart has done work on many of my guitars and I wouldn't have anyone else. Sending guitars from Hawaii to PA is not cheap but the results are so worth it. Stuart does amazing work and always keeps you informed of progress. He is totally trustworthy and would only recommend work that he felt was best for the instrument. I bought a rather cheap guitar from China several years ago and asked Stuart to redo practically everything on it. New frets, tuners, pickups, electronics and bridge. To this day it is a prize possession that plays amazing. I highly recommend anyone needing guitar work to check Stuart out. You will be greatly rewarded. Denis McNulty

Luis H. is a talented piano professional both as a musician and as a technician! His accomplished…read moreapproach is reflected in the results he achieves. He deciphered an obscure hammer position adjustment on a Hailun studio grand piano. He remarked, "I live for this!" when presented with this particularly elusive challenge. This was further complicated by the fact that the piano was placed in an area with humidity and temperature fluctuations, ultimately leading to sticking jacks. He presented an excellent set of recommendations for maintaining the health and improving the function of our piano moving forward. He touched on the fact that a specific type of regulation would greatly improve the sound and increase the responsiveness of the action, and he offered it as a part of the long-term plan for our investment. There's nothing about the service we received from Mr. Hernandez it was lacking in quality or reliability; we would absolutely recommend his services to any piano owner!
