Happy Birthday, Piano Forte Tuning Service!

Wow – time flies!  It was exactly 25 years ago that I started my business, Piano Forte Service, here in Nanaimo on central Vancouver Island.  A few years before that I had finished a 3-1/2 year piano apprenticeship under a Master Craftsman Piano Maker in Germany.  Once moving to beautiful British Columbia, I started my business right in the old city quarter of Nanaimo, offering piano rebuilding and repairs from my Piano Forte shop on Fitzwilliam street. Of course, I also offered piano servicing and tuning in clients homes, as I still do today.  I have fond memories of my first client who walked into the shop, wanting work on a very rare and unusal German vintage baby grand piano. I have tuned that wonderful piano for him for the last 1/4 century!

I would like to thank all of my clients whom I have so enjoyed working with over the last 25 years, I have the intention to continue my wonderful craft for many more years, and I hope I can be of service to you.
