I contacted Vasili to help us evaluate a used piano that we were purchasing from another person. I wanted to make sure that the piano I was purchasing was in good condition not only on the outside but inside also. Vasili was very detailed in his assessment (checking the strings, keys, hammers, tuning pin, etc) and asked the owner many questions to get a better idea of the history of the piano. For a very reasonable fee, it made our buying process a lot smoother and confidence in our piano investment. Thanks Vasili!
