KEITH IS A PROFESSIONAL LONDON
MUSICIAN WHO TURNED TO PIANO
RESTORATION 20 YEARS AGO.
He writes:
"I WAS TRAINED OVER A 6-YEAR PERIOD, BY A SENIOR
TECHNICIAN FOR BLUTHNERS - LESLIE CORNISH -
HIMSELF A
LEGEND IN HIS OWN LIFETIME, IN THE PIANO BUSINESS.
HIS PIANO TOOLS WERE PASSED DOWN TO ME - AND MANY GO BACK TO HIS FATHER [MANAGER TO AEOLIAN, WHO MADE
STECK AND WEBER PIANOS], AND TO HIS GRANDFATHER
[WHO WORKED FOR PAYNES OF LONDON]."
