Notes from the Founder

Four decades
on the bench.

Vince founded SF Piano Works. Here's the story, and where to find him for master-level work.

The founder
“Two identical pianos can leave the factory and, ten years later, sound like different instruments. My job is to find the one that's already in the room.”
Vince · Founder, SF Piano Works

More than forty years of tuning, voicing, regulating and rebuilding pianos for homes, teachers, venues and studios across the Bay Area.

Vince is a Yamaha Artist Services technician, factory-trained by Yamaha and Kawai, and a longtime member of the Piano Technicians Guild. He founded SF Piano Works on a simple observation: great technicians are independent, and that independence is exactly what makes them hard to find.

The collective gives you one front door. Behind it, independent piano craftspeople who each know their region of the Bay, backed by a real team that answers the phone, tracks your instrument's history, and sends the right person every time.
