Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 https://jazztimes.com/features/columns/piano-tuning/ BTW - if you are on Facebook and follow Jim, you'll see that he not only tunes pianos, he restores keyboards of all kinds. I've been fascinated by some of his work, especially when he modifies an older piano's innards based on years of history with all varieties of mods. Recently he changed the "strike line" on a Wurlitzer 120. I never even heard of a strike line, so what he did was very interesting to this engineer. Quote
JSngry Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 Outstanding! And hopefully a reliable source of income! There was/is this organist here who also works as a piano teach, cat named Eric Scortia. Quote
HutchFan Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 Hooray for JA! Very interesting story. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 Yes, Piano Tuners are not given the recognition they deserve. Good article. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Those who follow Jim on facebook know that he started tuning and repairing all kinds of acoustic and electric pianos as well as other keyboards and even guitar amps to support his income, and he obviously does a great job. Saving all kinds of Wurlitzers from being dumped. Edited January 25, 2022 by mikeweil Quote
