Here
are comments from a few of our customers and even another tech.
Greg Soldano —
Peter-I just wanted
to say thanks for the excellent work done on my Wurly; it plays
beautifully,
sounds incredible,
and is as quiet
as the proverbial church mouse. Quite honestly I don't know how
you do it-but please keep it up. You'll be seeing my Rhodes soon;
I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thanks again for all your effort
and communication.

Peter is the ultimate when it
comes to making the old new. He completed an awesome "interior" restoration of my 73 Fender Rhodes
that I couldn't be more pleased with. The growling lows and bell
like highs couldn't be sweeter. He was especially patient as my
Rhodes had to have an extended stay with him. No other tech will
ever touch this instrument. Trust this man - you will not be disappointed,
neither will your piano. Blessings.

“It would never occur to me to have anyone but Peter Hayes work on my instruments.
He did a beautiful job on my Stage 88. I had the pleasure of visiting
his shop and I was impressed with the work he’s done for others. Rhodes,
Wurlies, Clavinets and more — all looking good, sounding great
and smooth as butter. He’s fast, reasonably priced and friendly.
He answers questions and provides good information on follow up care
and maintenance.
I have two more Rhodes, Stage 73s, and he’ll be the only guy
who touches them. Check him out. —Louis”

Hi Peter, As far as I'm
concerned, say whatever you like about these. I think the gearheads
among our fans will be thrilled to learn about it
all. You did a great job!
Thanks again,

“...thanks very much for stepping up to the plate on this “weird,
difficult, bizarre” request - you really came through
for us and helped to finally complete an incredibly important
visual
aspect
of the Keane stage.”
Cheers, Geoff Kakoschke. (Programming / Keys / IT – Keane)

“I bought a Rhodes stage 73 from Peter Hayes — the “Rat Fur” custom
featured on the website. It looks cool, doesn’t it? And
it sounds and
plays as nice as it looks. The Rhodes piano is a great instrument,
expressive and soulful, and it’s a shame they aren’t
made any more. Getting a rebuilt Rhodes from Peter is the closest
thing you’ll
get to buying a new one off the showroom floor. By the way, I
had mine shipped across the country and it arrived in perfect
shape — Peter
takes good care of his instruments and his customers.”
Nick Rolfe —
“Peter Hayes at Electronic Edge can work wonders with a rhodes inside and
out! If you’re a pro and on a deadline, every effort is
made to accommodate your schedule with NO effect on quality of
work. If you want
a truly unique
rhodes, visually and audibly, check for the cats at Electronic Edge.”

“Peter Hayes’s work, service and attention to detail is second
to none. He recently completed a red stage MK II for me, almost similar
to what’s in his website but with added pre amp and some killer knobs,
--packed, shipped and received immaculately. Please note that I only know
Peter via
emails. Worldwide service? You bet! I’m all the way from MALAYSIA. Peter
is a class act!”

On his Stage 73... “Man, it’s like a brand-new instrument! Thanks again
for doing such a great job.”

Roger W Etheredge — Northport, AL
“Peter Hayes of Electronic Edge is a Master Fender Rhodes/Hohner Clavinet
guru/surgeon. Peter is THE MAN when it comes to Vintage Keyboards.
I
am a shameless music snob. I contend that the keyboards produced in
the 60s & 70s are
the best sounding rigs built to date. When it comes to restoring these
fine instruments, Peter Hayes is without peer.
The man is a surgeon! Peter has restored for me: (2) 73 key suitcases,
an 88 key suitcase, a 73 key stage, a sweet '67 Piano Bass, 2 pairs of
Fender Rhodes Satellites, and 3 Hohner D6 Clavinets!!! Send your ailing
Fender Rhodes to Peter and receive a work of art, a Beautiful tone machine
in return. Peter will insure the survival and prosperity of these precious
instruments.” Roger W Etheredge, Ph.D.
Alan B. Winter —
“Peter is the guru of the Rhodes techs...he is extremely knowledgeable
of any aspect of Rhodes repair, be it voicing, regulation, or even recovering
in any color of Tolex. He is extremely passionate about the instrument,
and will take any time necessary to discuss what the customer wants of his Rhodes.
My
Mk2 Suitcase 73 is now a mint jewel, thanks to Peter. Highly recommended
!!”
Jeff Peiffer —
“Peter is a very straightforward and down-to-earth guy. Dealing with him
was a good experience, and what he did to my Rhodes was amazing. He’s really
got the expertise and the experience too. I definitely recommend anyone that
can to have him work on your Rhodes.”
Michele Montecucco —
“I live in Italy and I know Peter only by email!! I bought via internet
a refurbished 1974 73 Stage Piano that Peter made sound and look great. During
his work Peter sent me pictures showing what he was doing to the piano so I could
follow the work in progress. Shipping was ok, with no problems and no “surprises”.
What about the cost? I think I paid for it the right price: now I own a “brand
new” Rhodes. Great job, Peter!” Mark Ross —
“I’m a technician in Los Angeles. A Rhodes recently arrived in my
shop that had been restored by Peter. His cosmetic work was impeccable. He does
top notch retolexing and hardware replacement.”

Blasius —
“Peter did wonders for my stage 73, It has never sounded better. It took me
about 3 hours to drive to his place but it was well worth it and i will do
it again
if need be. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my rhodes.”
Emilio RL —
“Peter has the rare combination of kindness, knowledge
and mechanical expertise, unparalleled in the world of vintage keyboard
repair. Not
only would I recommend him. I would recommend him over anyone else.”
