Cool Stuff

Just so happens, 2008 was the
80th year our family has been
in the piano business. My
Grand Dad Wallace started
in 1928.
Tuning, rebuilding, maintenance,
re-stringing, refurbishing,
complete Investment restoration.
All that stuff.
The joy of it is two-fold:
the Art and the History.
In terms of the art, there is a
high level of skill that has been
passed on to me throughout my life. 
There are but a few who can do a 
great tuning job and be able to repair 
and adjust the mechanics of the instrument. 
This is what I grew up watching my Dad do.
The History is amazing and this is what
raises the level of respect for the instrument.
If you're not familiar with how the "piano"
was developed, it came from the 
Harpsichord, which came from the Harp.

More next time.
