I am primarily a piano tuner-technician which means most of my work is done in the shop or "in the field" consisting of service calls to homes, studios, venues, institutions, etc.  Work done in the field involves tuning, regulation, voicing, and minor repairs.

      Work done in the shop includes ivory repair, keytop replacement, major regulation, parts replacement, repinning, hammer filing, hammer and string replacement.  Started training (apprenticeship is a better word) in San Francisco in 1971 and was full time self employed from1976 to 1988 then I moved to South Dakota. 

      My specialties include player piano restoration, piano refinishing in hand rubbed oil,  and preparation for performance.
