"Her tuning of both instruments was outstanding, and we both realized that she has an exceptional ear for tuning. At that time she also recommended a complete re-regulation of the Yamaha. She worked tirelessly on this instrument, and the result was amazing."
"Two years ago a friend who has perfect pitch and is extremely particular about tuners recommended Ashley to us. We have a 6’10” Yamaha C5D and a 5’2” Bosendorfer, both seriously out of tune because of the pandemic. The Yamaha was especially problematic since it had gone fully flat and needed extensive tuning done in several passes. Her tuning of both instruments was outstanding, and we both realized that she has an exceptional ear for tuning. At that time she also recommended a complete re-regulation of the Yamaha. She worked tirelessly on this instrument, and the result was amazing. It was smooth and efficient, the key depression was precise and yielded significantly more dynamic contrasts than were possible before, and the fluid action gave the instrument the ability to control a melody in new and very exciting ways."
"We asked her back to do a second full tuning of both instruments, and once again they glistened. At that time she recommended that the Bosendorfer be voiced since she felt, and we agreed, that it was overly bright and somewhat harsh, especially in the upper register. Once again, she achieved wonderful results on a much smaller piano. The richness of tone, clarity of bass, and utter beauty that she brought out were remarkable. What’s more, she managed to draw both pianos into a similarity of tone and touch that transcended these two very different pianos, so that they work extremely well when playing two-piano literature."
"We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gifted technician with a world of knowledge about individual instruments, she knows how to maximize the strengths of each instrument, and she has a superb tuning ear. Her uncompromising professionalism gives amazing results. We are so grateful that we found her, and we look forward to enjoying our instruments for years to come, thanks to the tireless attention that we know she will give them."
