“Piano rebuilding is a perfect fit for me,” says Duane McGuire, owner of McGuire Piano in Clinton, Utah.
“Like many piano technicians, piano work is not my first career,” McGuire notes, having worked in the field now for a decade. “I’ve had varied careers in engineering, software, sales, and even pipe organ building! Over the years – in parallel with those career pursuits – I developed high-end woodworking skills, modest ability as a pianist, with a passion for technologies.
“The piano exists as a complex historical technology,” he observes. “Piano technology allows me to apply my technical knowledge and craft skills to preserve and enhance these instruments. Along the way, my work brings joy to those who make music.”
McGuire says his personal satisfaction is centered on continuous learning and development. He completed WNG training as well as the Piano Technicians Guild Grand Regulation in 37 Steps program. In addition to national and regional conference training sessions, he has completed advanced training with the Renner Academy.
McGuire Piano offers a wide range of services, including tuning, repair, regulation, and full restoration involving key recovering, key bushings, action reconditioning, restoration and parts replacement, as well as restringing, bridge work, soundboard repair and/or replacement, and pinblock repair and/or replacement.
