kudos and accolades
 

“I highly recommend Don Faulkner as one of the finest piano technicians I have ever worked with, including those in San Francisco, New York City, and Europe.”

June de Toth

Concert pianist and Eroica recording artist


“I am in love with my Steinway B since Don has been working on it, and it keeps getting better.  Don brings the best out of my piano so that my piano brings the best out of me.  With his technical expertise, sensitive soul and discerning ear, he can radically change the sound of a piano.  He listens to what the pianist wants and willingly pursues an elusive tonal goal with patience, knowing that each of us hears with different ears.”

Susan Blevins

Student of June de Toth


"Don brought my piano back to life!  It's a joy to play it again.  He improved the quality of tone, the action of the keys and the clarity of pitch.  It has never sounded so good!"

Dr. Paulette Marin, D.O.M


"Don's fine ear, patient and detailed work, and pleasant personality make him a first-rate piano technician."

Sergio Rodriguez

Instructor of Music, Santa Fe Community College


“Don takes pride in his work.  He is  dependable and prompt and pays great attention to detail.  He is personally invested in getting the best possible sound out of our piano.”

Suzanne Maynard

General Manager of the former Santa Fe Stages


"Don Faulkner has provided excellent, reliable and reasonably-priced service for my baby grand piano as well as for the two pianos at Temple Beth Shalom where I serve as music director.  Don takes pride in providing a thorough diagnostic and is willing to explain in detail the conditions he observes in older and damaged pianos, the options he considers in finding a remedy, and reliable advice on upkeep and maintenance."

Aaron Wolf

Music Director, Temple Beth Shalom 


"Don takes amazing care of us and of our piano, which gets hours of brutal play each night here at La Cantina.  With the crazy schedule that I have, it is wonderful to have someone I trust in charge of the care of the instrument that is so vital to each and every one of our performances.  Thanks, Don!" 

Juli King Royea, Asst. General Manager

La Casa Sena Cantina Cabaret

“Don regularly tunes and voices our Yamaha grand at La Casa Sena, which is in use for 40+ hours a week.  I love the way it sounds and feels, and I appreciate Don's customer service ethic!”

Bob Fox

La Casa Sena Cantina Cabaret


“Don Faulkner has given my 96-year-old Knabe grand piano a whole new lease on life.  I called Don to analyze and recommend solutions for the many technical problems that had developed in my piano over the years.  Don had the talent and determination to work through and remedy problems that resulted from a faulty rebuild in Los Angeles.  I love my piano and can't conceive of trading it in on a newer instrument.  Now I love to sit down at the keyboard and play for hours.  It is a joy to have this beautiful instrument restored to its former grandeur.  Thank you, Don Faulkner, for your tireless work on my piano.  We can now use our piano with pride for Santa Fe Symphony musicals held in private homes throughout the year.”
