"Thank you ...for providing sincere service to us that was truly customer oriented. You not only aided us every step of the way in choosing a cello and shipping it to Japan, you also answered all of our many questions and have given us great piece of mind that we're in good hands with an instrument from Paul Perley, and always will be." D.T., Georgia and Japan

"...to share some good news, I just won the principal position with (the) Memphis Symphony. Thanks for getting me the cello for it." M.Y., Florida

"The difference (in my bass) is truly amazing, especially in the low end; phenominal, in fact. Last night in a small semi-acoustic blues gig, the band was blown away, almost literally. I think it could actually cut it quite well as an orchestral instrument at this point; the low end under the bow is monstrous, even though Obligatos aren't famous for their E-string." T.B., Vermont

"I could not be happier with the quality of the work and the service that PPC has provided me. I absolutely love the bass you recommended for me and all of your advice has been incredibly helpful. I never hesitate to sing your praises whenever I can. Thanks!" S.G., Essex, Vermont

"I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my new (Barbara Theobald) cello. It is everything I wanted and everything you said it would be. Both you and Melissa did a great job matching me up with it. I appreciated the fact you kept me posted and you worked very hard to get it to me promptly. Because of your honesty and integrity I would gladly recommend you to anyone wanting to buy a cello. Three weeks ago I played it in my first recital with my new cello. I played a solo and I also was invited to play with the youth orchestra at Georgia Southern University. I got many complements about my cello’s beauty and warm rich sound. My teacher also loves my cello which pleases me because I value his opinion greatly. My skills have greatly improved in the seven months I have had it. It could be because I look forward to playing it so I tend to practice a bit more. I enjoy not having to fight and wrestle my cello to get a great sound. Thanks to you both and especially Barbra for producing such a lovely instrument. It is obvious it was made by loving hands. Have a wonderful summer. All the best." K.B. Georgia

"I bought several wonderful cellos from Paul during the 1990's. He was very gracious to deal with and found lovely instruments for me in whatever price range I was looking. I introduced him to my teacher and he found a superb instrument for him as well. What is unique about dealing with Paul is it feels like your dealing with a close, longtime friend, yet I have never met him in person. He holds a special place in the heart's of the musicians across the country with whom he deals. Thank you, Paul, for your warmth, expertise and integrity." G.S., night time cellist, Jackson, MS

"Thank you so much for recommending the Juzek cello to me. It's absolutely fabulous! The sound is so rich!" C.M. Vermont

"I still think this is the best bass I have ever heard or played." L.B. New Jersey

"Thank you so much for the beautiful cello and your excellent service" S.W., Massachusetts

"Thank you for the loving care and repair of my cello" F.E. , Connecticut

"I want to thank you for all the effort and sacrifice you have made to help my little girl get a cello worth playing." M.D., South Dakota

"You came highly recommended and I can certainly see why." M.S., New York

"Thanks so much for the unique violin. I can't believe the compliments on my playing since I got it." S.A., Missouri

"Your restoration work on my viola has convinced at least half my colleagues that I got a new one." M.P., New York

"I love my cello and treasure it mellow tone, more than I can say. Thank you, thank you, thank you." L.N., Maine.

"The work you did to bring my bass's true voice out was amazing- It's over a year later and I still am experiencing the sound as if you had just completed the work: happy happy happy!. I'm so glad to have found you- you're truly a rare bird!" E.P.
