Company History
Paul Barnes has been a piano enthusiast for his entire life. After working for many years as an engineer, he decided to pursue a career working with pianos. Paul studied at Leeds College Of Music to achieve the necessary qualifications, including “BTEC National Diploma in Piano Tuning, Maintenance & Repair” and “City & Guilds Musical Instrument Technology specialising in Piano”.
Training
