Client Testimonials

"Kevin Ellis is more than an extremely knowledgeable and competent piano technician. He is among the fortunate few whose workmanship is an art. Kevin has worked on my pianos (including a Steinway, Boston and Seiler) over the past decade, and I am extremely thankful as our pianos have never performed better as a result of his dedication and passion.

Kevin is a professional with integrity. He always provides the most honest opinion. I know of instances that he turns down lucrative assignments when he feels that it is more ethical to tell the truth.

I have a teenage son who is an aspiring musician. He is extremely fuzzy with pitch and tone colour. Besides painstakingly answering all his requests, Kevin offers to give him some basic knowledge on maintaining the piano. He is very kind to him.

Once, my son and I were given the opportunity to assess two identical pianos prepared by Kevin. He purposely voiced one to be more brilliant while the other was voiced to be more lyrical (as specified by a renowned pianist). It was amazing to play them side by side. It is also very eye opening to see what a big difference a good technician can make.

I strongly recommend Kevin to anyone who appreciates a technician with great skills and integrity."

~ Diana Lim

"If you’re looking for someone in the piano business that does great work—someone you can trust—and who will give you a straight, honest opinion or answer, then Kevin Ellis is certainly the one. I say this based on knowing Kevin for over 15 years. He helped us in 1993 when buying our first piano and we turned to him again in 2007 when it was time for the grand piano.

When it comes to tuning, Kevin still continues to be the only person that maintains our piano. He always tunes by ear and not a piano tuning device, thus giving the instrument its best sound. Kevin is definitely a great credit to his profession. "

~ Tony M.

"Kevin Ellis has been looking after our piano tuning needs for over 35 years. His workmanship and knowledge of pianos, in combination with his warm and engaging personality, are simply outstanding. I highly recommend him to anyone requiring a knowledgeable and highly skilled piano technician."

~ Roberto De Clara
Artistic Director
Oakville Symphony Orchestra

"There are some fine piano technicians and tuners scattered here and there but I'd be willing to wager that you wouldn't find a single one with the combination of skills and dedication that Kevin Ellis brings to every piano on which he works.

Trained by his father who worked in the Heintzman factory, he is the last of a breed. Kevin took the lessons from his dad and built on them—refining and inventing techniques and methods to reach the highest calibre of piano repair and refinishing. What places Kevin Ellis in a class unto his own—apart from his skill and talent—is that he puts his heart into his piano work.

He is easily the most honest, talented and dedicated piano man I have ever known."

"Kevin Ellis performed miracles in bringing this treasure of a piano back to life. I know something about the workings of pianos and quite a bit about why they don't work. Kevin is in a class by himself. Due to his efforts, people from many parts of the world are now talking about how beautiful my piano sounds and plays. I am in his debt. He is...
"The... Piano Man!!""

"As this academic year draws to a close, I am writing to convey our sincere appreciation for the services you have performed for the School of Art, Music & Drama at McMaster University. Your work on our pianos has been an example of dedication, pride of craftsmanship, and outstanding technical skill. It is all too rare these days to find such professional ability combined with the old-fashioned virtue of integrity in business dealings, and your work with us has displayed both in abundance.

Please accept my sincere gratitude for the efforts you have expended on behalf of the school—in particular for your work in support of our Magic of Music Gala Benefit Concert—and also our very best wishes for your continuing success."
