Experience and Qualifications
I trained at the London College of
furniture and qualified in 1985 with a BTEC National Diploma in Musical
Instrument Technology, specialising in pianos. I gained invaluable experience
whilst working for five years with various piano companies in the UK, New
Zealand and Luxenburg before returing to launch "Dowdeswell Pianos" in
1990.
My work as a technician
My work as a tuner involves tuning pianos in private homes, schools & colleges, recording studios, yachts and cruise ships.
As a technician my work involves all aspects of piano restoration, from minor repair to a full piano rebuild which can take between four to eight weeks to complete.
We also offer a french polishing service which will transform any piano to its former glory.
Some of my clients and venues I have worked at include:
London University, Southampton University, Yacht moored at Venice, Various Cruise Ships, Winchester Piano Studios, Mylyn Classe (Hear Say), Anthony Minghella (Film Director), Elton John, Cobham International School, Woking Theatre, Leatherhead Theatre, Various Recording Studios, Gary Brooker (Procal Harum), Wisley Music Festival, Cris Cozens (Musical Film Director).
