What They're Saying About Lyle
"He Tunes By Ear"
"I have known Lyle Malcom since he moved to the area around 2004. He was hired as manager and piano technician at the Federal Way location of Helmer's music where I had been working for eight years. In that time I found him to be a wonderful person and a fabulous piano technician. I have played piano for roughly fifty years as a hobby and his tunings inspire me. He tunes by ear which I have always believed to be the best way. It leaves the human hearing factor in the piano as it should be.
At Helmer's Music, he currently tunes sold pianos and does technical work to ready them for delivery. Lyle also has a good customer base as well at providing warranty tuning and service for Helmer's Music. I am more than satisfied with his work and request him anytime we have pianos in need of service."

"His Concert Tuning is Worthy of the Most Discriminating Artist"
I am a piano technician and have a specialty rebuilding shop in south Florida. I worked with Lyle Malcolm for three years. Lyle is, to me one of the most competent and expert technicians I have ever had the privilege of working with. What impressed me was his attention to detail and dedication to total client satisfaction. His experience and expertise is unparalleled. His concert tuning is worthy of the most discriminating artist. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any project of any scope. I sorely miss him.
