________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________"I purchased a 9 ft Baldwin concert grand from Mike in May. Maybe I took a risk as I didn't ask for an independent piano technician to inspect and evaluate the instrument. As it turned out---it would have been a waste of time--fortunately. I did call the technician that had serviced the piano and he supported everything that Mike had told me. When the piano arrived, I found it to be just as Mike had described. We did have several interchanges on the phone. All the pictures were accurate. I was concerned about it being refinished although I did want a cosmetically superior appearance. It was advertised as in 'mint' condition and that is the way it arrived. I was very pleased. In talking with Mike on the phone, I became comfortable that he had an excellent condition piano---and I wanted it! My wife knew nothing about the piano until she 'found' it in the house. She is really picky on furniture condition items and agreed it was super nice---as described. The shipping rails had been removed which I strongly preferred but wondered about the holes that had to be filled and refinished. Even with 'highlighting the side' I have not been able to detect anything in that area. My opinion that Mike knew how to do things 'right' was confirmed. It took me a 'while' to justify the cost and he was patient with all my questions--and more questions. He's a great guy to work with. If you are serious about buying a piano from him, I would be glad to talk with you on the phone. However, you will only get a very succinct text [message] out of me." "Additionally, I used Pro Piano Movers in Houston, TX. They were not the cheapest but I had strong reservations about several other big piano movers. They couldn't have been better to work with. The super strong selling point for me was that the same two guys picked up the piano and delivered it--in an air ride truck, with the storage area air conditioned. In 30 minutes after arrival, the piano was set up--and they were gone. I would never consider any other instrument mover at this point. The piano didn't go through multiple hands, multiple trucks, multiple locations---all very important to me. If you buy a piano from Mike, I trust you will be as pleased as I was." - Dr. C.B. in San Antonio, TX1986 Baldwin SD-10 9' Grand "I just bought a 1985 Young Chang 7' medium concert grand piano from Mike and I am thrilled to report that the piano is even more glorious than he described or his videos were able to convey. The piano is in impeccable shape and was verified the day after I received it when I had a certified technician come and evaluate it. I was specifically looking for a piano with a mellower sound but a rich tone and firmer action. In talking with Mike after I saw the pictures and videos he provided, I was able to confirm that this piano had everything I wanted. The piano needed to be in beautiful condition for the space it would occupy as it serves as sculpture in the "room with a view" that it occupies. Mike was very patient to give me time to thoroughly review everything with him, to speak with the technician who performed all of the maintenance on the piano while he owned and played it and to feel comfortable with the transaction. I found Mike to be a man of integrity with a passion for pianos and a warm and terrific guy to work with. I can recommend him without hesitation and I can sum up my feelings about my purchase like this: "My life has changed for the better since the piano was placed in my home and in a way I know will be lasting, I just couldn't be happier." "As to the moving experience, Mike handled everything for me and followed up weekly with the carrier. Mike allowed me the opportunity to agree to the arrangements he made. His usual carrier was no longer including FL in his route so the company we used was new to him. I was able to talk directly with them since my piano was going upstairs and I had a deadline to receive the piano before a planned event. Through no fault of Mike's, the national carrier was not able to keep the piano on track for my timetable and it arrived five days too late for my event after sitting in Indianapolis for nearly a month waiting to be brought to Denver. Once it finally left Indianapolis, the piano arrived in a matter of days and the local piano movers brought it to me over night as we had been in contact over the delay. All in all it wasn't the end of the world and Mike was so professional in trying to keep things moving forward. My purchase with it's time frame tied to a specific event is probably rare but be aware that pianos make their way across the country slowly and allow at least 6-8 weeks for its arrival." - Ms. N.M. in Monument, CO1985 Young Chang G213 7' Grand "I was blessed to stumble upon Mike's piano listing by chance on eBay. I had been looking for a piano for my family to learn on for about three years and had been in close contact with a local dealer in case something came up for sale. My heart was set on Steinway because it's what my grandmother loves to play and what my sister learned on as a child. I was hoping to find a piano with [iv.] keys, with the character of the "old world", but with a long life-span ahead of it. When I saw mike's 1956 Hamburg model z in mint condition and heard his friend play it on u tube, we all fell in love. Mike is a fami
