Piano Service Experience

I have over 45 years of experience (16 years in the Philippines and 30 years in Canada) tuning and repairing all major brands of pianos. I began my career in Canada tuning, re-pairing and action overhauling at the local piano store in Vancouver B.C. and in the University of British Columbia under the supervision of Johann Krebs, RPT. I also worked for his company, B.C. Pianocraft focusing on action regulation and re-pinning. I also did full time contract work for the University of Lethbridge, and CASA Conservatory of Music, in Alberta for almost 5 years servicing a total of 80 pianos including general overhauling and replacement of sets of hammers in each of the two Steinway Model D grand pianos they use for concerts.

Formal Training

I was originally trained in the Philippines. When my family moved to Vancouver, I upgraded my skills in tuning under the tutelage of Paul Brown, RPT. Later, under his guidance, I attained the classification of Registered Piano Technician with the Piano Technicians Guild (an International Non-Profit Organization of Registered Piano Technicians).

As a result of this comprehensive training, I am able to find the most efficient and cost-effective way to bring out the best performance in your instrument.
