♪ Our Service Area--We serve piano owners in Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and Snohomish counties in Washington State, in locations up to 50 miles from our shop, and for an additional fee, we will service pianos further away.  Also, we will gladly evaluate your piano and arrange to move it from a greater distance for any major restoration contract and include the cost of extra travel in the contract; however, we will usually expect a qualified piano technician in your area to conduct follow-up tunings and other service on your piano after completion of our contract. During past years, we have done business with a number of out-of-state clients--as far away as Baltimore, MD.  Most of our long-distance clients find out about us by browsing the Internet and they contact us by e-mail.  ♪ Service Offer & Agreement--Before scheduling any major project estimated at over $1,000, we will send you a "Report and Service Offer."  If you accept our offer, we co-sign a "Service Agreement"  and payment of a deposit of 25% of the contract is expected when we pick up your piano, with the balance due upon delivery.  ♪ Piano Moving--Within our service area, we pick up and deliver the pianos we service, and our Service Offer will indicate the amount to be added for moving your piano. To keep the cost down, we ask for your assistance in loading or unloading at your home. If you aren't a regular customer but would like us to move your piano, contact us for an estimate. For delivery of pianos beyond our service area, we have had excellent experience with Modern Piano Moving Company of Sullivan, Missouri, a reputable national moving company specializing in door-to-door piano deliveries. To request their estimate of  the cost of moving a piano to or from your home, click: Modern Piano Moving Company Quote.  ♪ Our Guarantee--We guarantee "full satisfaction or your money back."  If you are not fully satisfied with our work, we will either arrange to make additional improvements that will, hopefully, meet your expectations, or we will frankly acknowledge that we are unable to meet your expectations and reimburse any money paid or owing for the work in question.  ♪ Our Schedule--We can respond to a request for a tuning assignment within a week after your call, and we will conduct an evaluation, recondition an action, or do a complete regulation in cases where we don't need to pick up the piano, within two weeks.  Major projects such as refinishing and rebuilding take longer and are subject to a longer waiting period--up to two months or longer, depending on the scope of the project and the size of our "waiting list."  ♪ Payment Terms--Sales and Service Contracts up to $1,000: Payment in full upon completion of project or delivery.  Sales and Service Contracts over $1,000: Deposit 25% on date of sale or commencement of project, balance on date of delivery or project completion. On accounts delinquent over 30 days, we charge 2% monthly on the outstanding balance, calculated on the first day of each month.  ♪ Payment Options--(1) Cash, (2) Check, (3) Credit Card--phone us to confirm, (4) Transfer funds electronically using the services of PayPal.com, (5) Make your payment electronically using the services of Escrow.com--We will ship the piano to you when Escrow.com informs us that they have received your payment and, after you have received delivery of the piano and are fully satisfied, you authorize Escrow.com to release payment to us. NOTE: Read the privacy policies of these companies before registering--you can be confident that your personal information is safe with them.
