I have a passionate love of the arts and am involved in
several arts organizations including a community band, an arts council and a community theater. I am an amature photographer
and love playing the trombone. As a former high school
band director I still relish conducting opportunities at First Baptist Church, the Community Band, The Willmar
Area Symphonic Orchestra and musicals at out local community
theatre.
Piano
Service
I've been in the piano
service business since 1966 when I finished technical and tuning
training under instructor Cliff
Johnson at the McPhail School of Music in Minneapolis. My
current responsibilities include maintainance of many pianos
in schools, churches and concert halls in the Willmar area. Willmar
is located in south central Minnesota about 100 miles west
of Minneapolis on highway 12.
In the fall of 1997 I received training to install Piano Disc systems. I
find it very rewarding and really enjoy watching customer's faces when "their" piano
is transformed into a high tech player piano with digital piano capabilities.
I also offer keytop replacement, Dampp Chaser installation, and most rebuilding
projects.
