Dear Customer: My name is Jamie Galbraith and I am a graduate of University of Western Ontario’s - Piano Technology Program. When I made application to this limited enrollment program it was with the expectation that I would return home and pursue my career as a qualified piano technician in Southwestern New Brunswick. Qualified piano technicians fulfill a vital role in any musical community. The program at Western is an arduous nine-month course, whose reputation draws students from Scotland, Ireland, Mexico, Cuba, Asia, Australia, and North America. Being attached to one of Canada’s best music facilities is advantageous – there are lots of pianos to work on. The program is endorsed by many leading musicians, piano manufactures and music faculties, who have not only provided written endorsement but hired graduates as well. This endorsement allows students to extensively tour the manufacturing facilities of Steinway, Mason and Hamlin and Yamaha.
I tune pianos by ear. I was trained by one of the best technicians in the business who is at the University of Western Ontario. When a piano is tuned each note should sound clean and clear without any noticeable twang. The twang is produces when two or three strings are out of tune with each other from the same note. I would be pleased to talk with you to further discuss my abilities. My rates are competitive for this area. I charge $110 taxes included for a basic tuning within the Saint John Areas. And my Fredericton rate is $140 taxes included for a basic tuning. I will also go as far as St. Andrews, St. Stephen and Sussex. My Fredericton rate applies to these places as well. New recently is a new charge applied to tunings done in either the evenings starting week days after 6pm. Or weekends. The fee within the Saint John area goes up to $125 taxes included. Sincerely, |
