FAQ

I operate my own piano service business in Saskatoon, specializing in tuning, voicing, regulation, repair, and appraisals. With over 30 years of experience, I’ve pursued advanced training in concert-level tuning and voicing under Roger Jolly—an internationally recognized piano technician and former Director of Product Development and Vice President of Samick Music Corporation. Mr. Jolly has lectured globally at numerous Piano Technicians Guild conventions and was honored with the Guild’s prestigious Jack W. Greenfield Award for his exceptional contributions to the industry.

​Prior to my work as a piano technician, I spent six years as a band director. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Music Education and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Saskatchewan, along with an A.R.C.T. (Associateship of the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto). A lifelong learner, I am committed to ongoing professional development and continually strive to refine my skills and deepen my understanding of piano technology. I am a member of the Piano Technicians Guild, regularly attending conventions, online seminars and workshops to stay current with best practices. I have also contributed to the field by teaching piano technology to others.
