He has been a member of the Guild for the past 28 years, serving as a past president of the Santa Barbara chapter as well as being an officer in various other capacities over the years. Raised to a great extent in a mom and pop piano shop in Kansas City Missouri, he had an early indoctrination to the inner workings of the piano, doing his homework in the back while mom and dad attended to the business.
Tuning is generally needed annually and takes around an hour. Severely out-of-tune pianos may require a pitch raise, which takes longer. Voicing alters the tone to suit the pianist's tastes, such as brighter or mellower, and evens out the tone across the keyboard. Many repairs can be done on-site, and some require bringing part or all of the piano to our shop.
A piano is one of the largest consumer purchases most people will ever make. Finally, here is a book to guide you through the process with practical information on every aspect of buying and owning a new or used piano. You can talk intelligently about what type of piano you have or are interested in by reviewing the terms used to describe pianos of different heights (uprights) or lengths (grands).
