Piano Service Experience
I have over twenty years experience tuning and repairing all major brands of pianos. I began my career tuning, repairing, and rebuilding pianos at the local Steinway franchise. I worked on all models of Steinways, and on numerous other brands of pianos. Later in my career, I worked for both Yamaha and Kawai dealerships, tuning new pianos in private homes.
Formal Training
I was trained at the premier piano tuning school in the nation, North Bennet School of Boston. My instruction included piano tuning, repair, action regulation, and rebuilding. As a result of this comprehensive training, I am usually able to find the most efficient and cost-effective way to bring out the best performance in your instrument.
Certification
I hold the title of Registered Piano Technician (RPT) from the Piano Technicians Guild. This title can only be earned by passing a series of rigorous examinations on the maintenance, repair, and tuning of pianos. Because the field of piano technology is not government regulated, the Piano Technicians Guild has established these examinations and this certification in order to insure quality service to the public. Fewer than 2,500 piano technicians in the world have earned this title.
