Jack Johnson,
Senior Technician, Founder
- Jack has been tuning pianos for over 37 years. Returning home “for good” from the road as a singer/guitarist/keyboardist with his bands Earth Cry and Time Peace, he ‘set up shop’ in what was known as the “old carriage house” on the banks of the Shiawassee river in Owosso Michigan. He began rebuilding Pianos and perfecting the art of tuning, voicing and regulating for concert stage and studio to the old family upright pianos.
Jason Johnson
Senior Technician
- The eldest of five children, Jason has followed in his father’s footsteps with a love of the piano, skilled piano player/singer and an excellence in piano technician skills. While a child and young man, he ‘assisted’ his father at the shop and learned from an early age the art of aural tuning and began honing his skills. Jason started his career as a piano technician while attending Michigan State University. After college, he apprenticed with his father and began his solo tunings shortly thereafter. Jason’s skills go beyond piano tuning with a deep knowledge and history of rebuilding pianos. Quality service is a family tradition and Jason is the epitome of that tradition.
Graham Johnson
Apprentice
- The youngest of five children, Graham also has been involved in the business for many years assisting in rebuilding and moving. He also began his apprenticeship in aural tuning while attending Michigan State University. Graham’s skills were apparent from the beginning, as a piano player, guitarist, singer/songwriter with a second CD of songs in the making, a piano technician was a natural progression. Graham has limited availability and service area at this time.
