I`ve got considerable knowledge in Classical Piano Compositions...I`ve been a performer for most of my life...Althought I`m only 27 years old (when i wrote this!)...I`ve got gr8 and a performer`s certificate in solo piano...so for any technical questions about piano technique or music theory and composers, I`m your guy. Have been with All Experts since 2001. | |

I am a piano technician formerly with Steinway and Sons and now the staff technician at the City College of New York. I am also self-employed in New York. I apprenticed (Manhattan School of Music)in 1982 and was factory (Steinway) trained in 1983. I have experience tuning, repairing, reconditioning, and appraisals. Please note that appraising an instrument involves a visual inspection. I am not an expert in player mechanisms, refinishing, electronic keyboards, nor midi. I love the work of making an instrument sound concert quality. | |

Thank you! Please, NO QUESTIONS REGARDING: serial numbers, appraisals, pricing, value, restorations, or when an instrument or device was made. Thank you!
