Words of the Piano Tuner
Hi, I am William Trotman, a musician, and owner of Pianofix.net. I am a registered member of the Piano Technicians Guild. Being a musician and always fixing things, I decided to learn and develop practical skills in the music business.
Thirty years ago, I served a two-year apprenticeship with a piano tuner/technician, Jim Coleman, who was working for Penn State University at the time. Jim and I did extraordinary things regarding the repair of the 50 plus, mainly Steinway Piano inventory. He even showed me how three skinny men could move a 7ft piano up three flights of steps, which I still debate over how valuable this particular skill is.
After graduating from college, I owned a music store in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York. Here, I serviced pianos for many years. Currently, I run my business out of Berlin, Connecticut, serving Central Connecticut and Central, Metro-West, and Boston, Massachusetts.
Some Interesting Facts About Me
I have been into music for a longer period. My travels gave me exposure as a performer, soundman, piano technician, and business person. Earlier and now, I continue to wear many hats with all the musical crowds from educators and performers in classical, jazz, country, and rock and roll.
Learn About Climate-Control Piano Stability
When you need piano repair, we can help you. Otherwise, most piano owners do miss something very simple. If you air-condition your piano in the summer months and run a humidifier in the winter months, you will be amazed by piano stability. It is called climate control-used by all major museums.
This small detail helps keeps your piano more in tune, protects the soundboard and moving parts and makes owning a piano more enjoyable. In addition, we install piano life saver systems made by Damp Chaser. These systems are $525 for uprights and $825 for grands with undercover installed.
