PATRICK DRAINE

I have been tuning and repairing pianos in the Boston area since 1979. My goal is to make you love your piano again. You may own a new Steinway, Yamaha, or Kawa i grand piano; or a Baldwin spinet you were given by friends, or you found it on CraigsList. It's most gratifying to bring out the best in a concert level instrument, and also very satisfying to bring a much neglected console or studio upright back into "musical condition" for a new generation of piano students... After completing a program in piano technology and grand rebuilding (Robert Perkins School of Piano Technology, Cleveland, Ohio, 1977) I joined the Boston Chapter of the Piano Technicians Guild and then passed the exams to be a Registered Piano Technician (1979). Since then I have been very active in our Guild's local, regional, and national leadership. We continually upgrade our skills through regular technical training programs.
