Hello!

My love of music started at Christmas, when older family members would get out their guitars and spend time between meals playing together. I then took up classical guitar aged 7 and never really stopped!

 

My appreciation of the piano started at age 13, when a friend lent my family a keyboard and I taught myself how to play. It was a lovely instrument, however the low notes on it were never quite as pleasant as the middle and trebles and thus began my obsession with tone.

 

By the time I was in the third year of my Music degree at Falmouth University, I had spoken to many luthiers around the world about the construction of guitars and used my dissertation as an excuse to take a deep dive into why and how instruments sound the way they do.

 

After six years of teaching guitar, performing and enjoying the many different types of pianos in the places I got to work, I decided I was still not done with my exploration of tone and instrument construction and enrolled at The Piano Tuner Academy, where I was taught by master tuner Robert King.

 

At present day, I am fascinated by the unique builds, systems and aesthetics of each piano I get to work with, as well as the items I French polish, all of which come with their own stories.
