Both Chris and Karen Robinson have been sought-after instructors in piano rebuilding
seminars nationwide. Chris, considered a preeminent leader in the piano restoration craft, was
instrumental in developing new action parts for vintage pianos, following original
specifications and dimensions. These parts are now being manufactured by the
famous Renner factory in Stuttgart, Germany. (To find out

Chris is consulted regularly by piano industry professionals from tuners to
manufacturers to solve problems connected with piano service procedures, action
performance and soundboard behavior.
Two of our staff are members of the Piano Technician's Guild. (To find out more
