Hi, my name is Miguel, I'm from Mexico and not long ago I found a transverse flute with a label that says "Barone's music house" and it has its origin in Lockport N.Y. Searching all over the web I found nothing on this site. I do not know if it is related to you, but I am very interested to know where it comes from. I would appreciate your response. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Carl Barone Piano Tuning! My piano had been moved a number of times, and not tuned probably in a decade or more. Carl was able to give me more details about its history and year it was made; he thoroughly cleaned the insides of the piano, and painstakingly tuned it, in the sweltering heat of summer. His patience and expertise are superior - a true professional who is extremely skilled. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone who needs their piano tuned or repaired!

I am so happy to write that Carl Barone was not only knowledgeable, and professional, but a pleasure to work with as well. He took a lot of time tuning, explaining and working with me to get our piano sold. He is easy to contact, and always returns text messages and phone calls promptly. Definitely a very positive experience!

My piano needed tuning after 20 years as I wanted to start up lessons with no musical experience. ( children grown & no longer using piano)- I cant say enough, not only his expertise in piano tuning, but he also, was able to provide piano lessons- Carl's teachings & scheduling, are helping me, to make my goal achievable! I'm so thankful, by chance, finding him on line and helping others to make their dreams come true!

I would definitely recommend him for tuning or piano lessons. I'm happy for his next venture and looking forward, to meeting Brad, who, follows his same teachings. Thank you, Carl, for you're patience and helping ones dreams come true!

Carl recently evaluated a piano for me before I purchased it. I did buy it and Carl then spent 6 hours with his assistant, Brad, cleaning, repairing, polishing and tuning the grand piano. They also installed the 'DampChaser' to control humidity which protects the piano from extremes in the environment. He gave me several tips on the 'care and feeding' of this Kurtzman grand. He also provided me with an appraisal. His work is excellent. I highly recommend him to anyone!

For many years Carl has tuned my piano and gave my son piano lessons. He always did an excellent job with the piano. I always felt he went above and beyond regarding it's care. He added a device to the inside that has really helped it. I believe only someone that cared that much would have taken the time to go the extra mile. And, having that piano in great shape has been extremely important, because my son plays it everyday! Carl started teaching him about 4 or 5 years ago.

I saw an immediate difference in my son's playing, and Carl's style and communication methods was instrumental in the development of my son's playing. Both my son and myself understand that the things Carl taught him impacts his playing everyday. We will always appreciate the fact that Carl truly cared in the development of my son's playing skills. Lifetime gift!

Carl is nothing short of fantastic! His knowledge and expertise set him apart from all the rest. I recently purchased a balwin Hamilton piano which he serviced. he completely disassembled and inspected, adjusting and tunning the piano top to bottom.he shared his knowledge on every step. I would highly recommend carl to anyone that needs their piano serviced. not only is carl a expert technician in my view, But I got the sense he was very honest and up front with me. that mattered and that's why if he deserves all of 5 stars. thank you carl!

Wow. Just, wow. I have owned an 1897 Bush and Gerts Cabinet Grand Piano for 14 years or so. I had never had it worked on. Carl put 4 hours of love into her. And, wow! Speechless. I haven't had a piano until yesterday. Thank you, Carl. You are an artisan and a gentleman. She sounds celestial.

For over three hours Carl treated the small console piano I inherited as if he was preparing it to play Carnegie Hall. He inspected, cleaned, tuned, and then polished the 50 year old wood until it looked new. He did this all with a 3 year old, a 5 year old, and a puppy all getting in his way repeatedly.and he did it with a smile. Usually I'm only inspired to review a business I am frustrated with, but he deserves the stars. Great Job!
