Our associates
“Shawn Skylark remains the one and only pianist and technician with enough talent and patience to tune and voice my pianos. As the owner of a well-established singing studio for over 30 years in San Francisco and Hollywood, I always use the very best accompanists, and it is imperative that my Steinway be voiced and tuned to it's the best attainable state.

Clients expectations
Shawn Skylark and I met after I had been through every "great" tuner in the Bay Area, and finally someone said, "I know who to send you; you need Shawn Skylark, he is the best of all of us." 35 years later he is still the master and the only genius I will allow to work on my pianos.
