“The B is finally home. It is beautiful. Just want to tell you THANKS for everything - you have been fantastic to work with and I am extremely appreciative. Please feel free to use my name as a reference!!”

“I’ve searched the whole West Coast via Craigslist, Ebay, and various Piano sites looking for a Steinway grand piano. I spent over a year talking with Piano dealers, and I am confident in my conclusion: Tom Watson is the one I recommend. His knowledge, his patience, his selection, his pricing and his quality restorations set him apart from all the others. I am happy to be used as a reference.

Coincidentally, I have an associate who works with my company, but in another state. Unknown to me, he has gone through the same research process, looking for a Steinway. He and I both ended up, independent of each other, at Tom Watson. We both purchased Steinway’s from Tom!! Our families are very happy that we did. Thanks Tom ”

“We recently moved from Tokyo to San Diego and looked for a good and affordable Steinway for all the family members to enjoy. We shopped various piano dealers and Tom Watson Piano had the best choice of balance between quality and price. Tom was very helpful in helping us select the best piano for our needs, and we were able to make our decision in a short period of time. We experienced good after purchase tuning, maintenance advice and services. Our daughters enjoy the sound and practice every day. We believe we have made a good purchase and investment.”

”On June 11th I tuned the Steinway M #189577 that you sold to Roya Hosseini (San Jose, CA) per your request.

This is a beautiful piano and I congratulate you on the high quality of workmanship in its restoration! I confirmed to your customer that she had made an excellent purchase. In fact, I told her that she could essentially consider her piano to be in new condition.

I have sent an invoice to your 701 Kettner Blvd address. I am charging you only my normal tuning fee of $120-- not any addition for the extra travel time it took to get to this customer’s house. The reason for this is that I am happy to tune such an instrument as this and hopefully make a new friend and customer as well.

When you sell more pianos in my area, please contact me again. I would be happy to tune and care for them!

Also, I had seen your website a while back. But now that I have seen one of your pianos for myself I will be confident in recommending some of my customers to consider your inventory.

Thanks again,
