Our normal service area covers coastal
Maine from Kennebunk to Camden including many picturesque coastal islands such as
Chebeague, Squirrel, Islesboro, Monhegan, and Vinalhaven. Paul has also been asked
to tune in some rather remote locations such as an estate in upstate New York, the
wilds of northern Maine, and Ajijic, Mexico (see photo below) where he traveled to
install a Dampp-Chaser™ system on a Steinway grand. We have rebuilt pianos for
prominent musicians in London, New York and Philadelphia.
