WHAT MY CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT ME

Tuesday, 08 December 2009

Dear Mark,

We came in for a piano stool but the piano sold itself!

We came into your Piano Man piano shop last March looking for a new piano stool. You had an excellent range of piano stools, reasonably priced, available in a variety of colours, comfortable to sit on, adjustable — what more could one want? Yet somehow, despite your helpful service we left without buying one after all.

What happened? What happened was that we tried your Kawai pianos and the sound went straight to our hearts. We went home without the new piano stool but with our heads full of the discovery of these pianos and the wonderful sounds they could make.

As you know, we came back eight months later and bought a Kawai K6 which we have had at home now for about three weeks. It is an absolute delight and we are writing to thank you for all the help you gave us in choosing it.

Visiting your piano shop has been an education as well as a real pleasure. We really appreciated your clear explanations of the design, materials and manufacture of the Kawai pianos, the pieces that you played to us to demonstrate the range of their capacities and the way you gave us a free hand to try out the different models for ourselves. Also you and John Tordoff, with the assistance of Airedale Movers, made the whole process of selling our old piano and installing the new one very easy indeed.

The model we bought sounded wonderful in your show room and it keeps on sounding even better as it settles in here at home. We are amateurs as you know and it is a revelation to discover how much a really good piano helps our playing and increases our enjoyment of practice sessions and lessons. As you can tell, we absolutely love our Kawai K6.

Playing it is a delight and a wonder. Oh, and the piano stool that came with it is very comfortable too!

With our warmest thanks for all your help,

Yours sincerely,

Frankie and Roy



Dear Mark

Just a short note to say that the piano arrived this morning and is installed safely. Thank you for everything. You were a pleasure to work with, giving sound constructive advice for our needs, and your customer care between the order being placed and then delivered was excellent — not to mention the price! It would be great to replace one of the other pianos in the Cathedral and there is no doubt that I shall turn to you again.

Once again, many thanks!

Yours

Andrew Bryden, Director of Music, Ripon Cathedral


As someone returning to the piano after two decades without an instrument I was bewildered by the range of options available. Having spoken with several companies I was getting more and more confused until I spoke to Mark at The Piano Man. Mark listened to what I needed and why I needed it and then pointed me in the right direction. After playing the recommended instrument at Mark's piano shop in Leeds Mark personally delivered the piano within several hours! I would recommend The Piano Man to anyone looking to purchase a piano. Mark clearly knows his pianos and cares about his customers. What a great combination.

Dear Mark,

Kawai CN-32 Digital Piano

I am delighted with my new digital piano, having played a conventional piano for over sixty years, and find the change over no problem at all. The action is positive and the sound can be varied to suit the individual's need. I find there are enough options for someone of my age but I have to admit I have not tried all the various permutations. However it suits my requirements as a pianist and the fact that it can be played with earphones is a great advantage. As a piece of furmiture, it is also pleasing. In conclusion I am very happy with my new piano and I would thank you for recommending and supplying it.

Kind regards,

Freda Robinson (Mrs)


Being a complete beginner and looking all over Yorkshire with my wife for her first piano, we ended up being quite confused by all the "salesmen", so it was really refreshing to have been recomended to "the pianoman" Mark, in leeds. He listened to my wife's requirements and from purchase to deivery, and also the initial tuning, everything was exactly as promised. On his website he has 10 promises, all are upheld and true.

Regards

Tim

Dear Mark,

I'm LOVING the piano and I'm so glad I bought it. I must say, my father and I tried out every piano in every shop in Leeds that day (in our price range) and nowhere did we find a nicer piano or salesman or prompter delivery!

Thank you again.

Best wishes

Annie

mark!

My new Kawai k2 is so fantastic i can't keep off it! I had my old piano for 20 years and was attached! and very reluctant to let it go! I had tried loads of pianos and none had satisfied my needs both as a teacher and pianist. UNTIL THE K2! Its brilliant thanks so much.

Dear PianoMan,

Thank-you so much for my Kawai piano. I love it so much! To be honest, its my most treasured possession. I could probably go on forever saying how much I love it, but I won't. Your service was brilliant too. Friendly, I would say. Honestly, it helps!

If you're interested, I'm attempting grade 8 standard music, an arrangement of Canon in D. The Kawai has helped me make a lot of progress. I would like to finish by saying thank you. Who knows what I would have ended up with if I didn't get the Kawai!

Hello Mark,

I recently bought a Kawai K6 from you. It's fantastic and I can't stop playing it. What a beautiful touch and sound. Thank-you!

You mentioned when I was in the shop that you would be able to send a piano technician round to tune it for me. Now I've got used to the feel and sound of it, I'd be really pleased if you could do this.

Thanks again for selling me such a wonderful piano.

Kind regards,

Mrs R Holton.


Dear Mark,

Just a short note to say how much I am enjoying the Kawai I bought from you last month. I also wanted to put in writing how much I appreciated the advice you gave on the pianos you stock, and how helpful I found your approach - a mix of advice on both the technical and the emotional aspects of buying a piano which was measured and wise. I felt that you answered all my questions very fully, without surrounding what can be a difficult subject in mystique, or saying what you thought I wanted to hear - a common mistake in some sales situations. And forgive me if I express myself badly here, but you weren't at all patronising to a beginner, which I found very helpful! The tuner is coming at the end of the month and I look forward to many years of happy playing!

Many thanks,

Mrs Maltby.


Dear Mark,

I would like to express my satisfaction with my recent purchase from you. I am completely delighted with it as an instrument - it has become my musical voice in composition, something you will remember as being a long held ambition of mine. The after-sales you offer is superb, thanks in no small measure to your excellent tuner. I recommend your services without reservation!

Yours sincerely,

Mr Higgins, Pontefract.


Dear Mark,

Our new piano is a great success both as a piano and as a handsome piece of furniture. Our piano teacher came last night and played it - she said it had a lovely mellow sound and it was the Rolls Royce of that type of piano. I want to thank you for your help and advice not only regarding the make of piano but also what you thought our children required in terms of their playing experience now and in the future. Your piano removal men were also excellent at their job and very polite. If we ever decide to buy another piano in the future we will come to you.

Kind regards,

Mrs Hutchings, York.



Dear Mark,

Once again, many thanks for your help in selecting the right piano for us. Our new Kawai is everything we could have wished for in an upright,and we are delighted with it. Your personal attention, and the delivery arrangements were first class, and we have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone seeking a piano.

Many thanks,

Dorothy and Roland Colcutt, South Yorkshire.


Dear Mark,

Thank-you again for sponsoring the musical event with Julian Saphir. We all greatly appreciated his talents. Some pupils have asked to start learning to play the piano, whilst there is a general 'buzz' about the place, as we all state - how did he play that?!!

I do hope that you enjoyed the day as much as the staff and pupils did, and I look forward to you bringing back Julian to repeat the experience next year.

Thank-you once again,

Mrs Helen Crompton, Director of Music, Silcoates school, Wakefield.


Hi Mark,

Many thanks for the excellent service, no false promises just ordered and delivered on time, that's all I wanted. The piano [a Kawai CP115] is fantastic, I've already managed to record a tune and found the songbook, I'm really pleased with it.

Kind Regards,

Ann Witty.


Dear Mark,

Thank you for assisting us with the purchase of a Yamaha U3 for our daughter. The piano is in excellent condition, the delivery man had proper cups for the piano to stand on which we purchased from them. We must admit that we did have slight reservations about the purchase of the piano from yourself with out seeing it (due to distance from ourselves to yourself, Norfolk to Leeds). But we must say we would not hesitate to purchase from yourself again with only taking your word for condition of purchase. Your piano tuner has phoned us saying you had asked him to call so he can make an appointment to see us to tune the piano. This has already been arranged for 21st June. Thank you once again for making things run very smoothly.

Yours faithfully,

Mr & Mrs B Braybrook.


Dear Mark,

I cannot tell you how much difference my new Kawai piano has made to my ability to play more accurately and with a little more finesse, even with arthritic fingers. Having thought my old German overstrung was probably the best I could have owned I now realise how much more responsive the Kawai advanced piano action really is. Thank-you for your honesty and the infinite patience you showed in making sure a very fussy customer found the correct piano from your piano shop. I did think it was going to be the hardest purchase of my life but you made it pretty painless.

Thank-you once again,

Mrs R, Leeds.


Dear Mark,

I would like to take this opportunity to say how pleased I am with the Kawai pianos that we purchased from you in December 2004. The 9 uprights, 1 grand and a digital piano have helped us enormously. I would thoroughly recommend Kawai pianos to any other educational establishment.

Miss HL Ward, Director of Music, Silcoates School, Wakefield.


Dear Mr Crossland,

I have been most impressed by the knowledge, service and after-sales support provided by The Pianoman. Whether you intend to purchase an acoustic or digital piano, you will find it very difficult to do business with anyone better!

Yours sincerely,

Robert A Longden, Cheshire.


Dear Mark,

Just a short note to congratulate you and your team on the first class service I received when buying a Kawai grand piano. It makes a refreshing change when a level of service is exceeded. Your delivery people were professional with their dealings. They called me to arrange delivery and made subsequent calls in order to keep me informed of their progress. This was most helpful to us. Once again, many thanks.

Kind regards,

Mr B, Durham.


Dear Sirs,

We were very impressed with the friendly, helpful service provided by the Pianoman. Mark really seemed to want us to choose the right instrument for us and was very patient while we played different models and asked lots of stupid questions. We love our new piano.

Yours truly,

Mrs H, Knaresborough.
