"Dear Beverly,

I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did in recovering my 1916 Steinway.

I bought the piano 2 years ago knowing it needed a great deal of restoration. The fellow I contracted to do the job did a fine job on getting the exterior restored, but when the piano was delivered a year ago, it played poorly. As I played it, I became more and more disappointed.

When I encountered you, it became a different story. After you had fixed some major problems, and many detailed mechanical problems, the piano once again played like a Steinway and sounded like a Steinway. And it is wonderful.

Thank you, Beverly. You have been a savior.”

"Beverly Wells is truly a gift to any lover of pianos and piano music. I was especially amazed by her complete rebuilding of an old grand piano of fairly modest pretensions. This piano was literally transformed by her into an instrument which could be played along with a fine Steinway in a two-piano program without the music of Bach suffering in the least by their combination! The blend was remarkable. Beverly has my wholehearted endorsement as a superb tuner, technician and rebuilder of pianos."

"Piano Craft is one of the most professional piano tuning and repair companies I have worked with in my 20+ years as an educator. They are always friendly, helpful and professional. They have done numerous tunings and repair work on my personal pianos, as well as the pianos at the school where I teach. I highly recommend both their tuning and repair services."

"Beverly has been working on our pianos at the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa for about 2 years now. She is an excellent partner in letting us know what maintenance and work the piano needs and what it could use at some point. She explains what she is up to when working on the pianos in a way that is easy to understand and helpful in deciding what to do next. Her rates seem reasonable and have been well worth the money - especially given the fact that we're spending less on a yearly basis since her tunings effectively last longer than past ones, requiring fewer, and less time and effort for us to schedule them. I highly recommend Beverly and her company, Piano Craft for your tuning and piano maintenance needs."
