The
“modern” piano, the term I use for most pianos built after 1900, is
considered by many to be the noblest of instruments. More music has
been written for it than for any other instrument; it has a broader
tonal and dynamic range by far than any other instrument; and a piano
played well can indeed “sooth the savage beast.”
I have been around
pianos my entire life, and
have been tuning, repairing, rebuilding and refinishing them since
about 1973. Since piano technicians often encounter questions that are
difficult to answer in the limited time span of a service call, I have
written a number of articles in response
to many of the
questions you may have always wanted to ask about pianos, but didn't
know who to ask or how to ask.
I hope you will find
this web site informative
and fun. If you don't know where to start, click the link below and

information on this site, please
keep us in mind for all of
your piano needs.
