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 more about Renner, click here)
