Matt Guggenheim

After almost thirty years of working on pianos, there is one grounding fact I've learned and live by: Every piano has its own potential to be realized. I analyze each piano I encounter with the tools of my trade – tuning, repairing, and regulating (optimizing a piano's mechanical ability) – in order to establish the piano’s full personality, so that it becomes inviting and creates a concrete platform for learning or performing. Since a young boy I have been riveted by the piano’s miraculous and complex anatomy and lured into its world of sound. These drives ultimately led me to become a professional concert piano technician, where each piano I work on helps me realize my own potential in the rewarding career I have chosen.
