My work as Technician
My work as a technician includes all aspects of piano servicing, from a tune and check-over, to servicing on site, which can be between one and five days, and full restoration at the workshop, which is around four to six weeks work.

I am resident technician at London’s Henry Wood Hall where I look after the Steinway concert grand pianos which are used by top pianists and all the major orchestras on a daily basis for recording and rehearsals. The newest Steinway D here No 501630 circa 1986 is being brought up to top condition in May’09 with a new Steinway Hamburg action. I also do regular work at London’s Southbank centre on their fleet of seven Steinway concert grand’s.

My own particular passion is for Steinway grand pianos, the depth of tone and responsive touch and feel all make for me the ultimate piano.

Please contact me if you have a Steinway grand piano for sale, I always have many customers waiting for good Steinways to restore and service.

Re-polishing can also be arranged by my colleagues, P&T French Polishing, who provide a first class service, some examples of which can be seen on this site.

Testimonials

Testimonial from pianist Martin Jones

Iain Gordon has just completed work on my Steinway Model C. For a very reasonable price he replaced the action, upper strings and regulated, toned and overhauled the entire piano. I am so pleased with the result I now think that the piano had never been set up properly!!! Thanks to his meticulously careful work, I now have what feels and sounds like a brand new Steinway. I shall have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. Many thanks

Concert Pianist


Fine grand pianos and Steinway grand pianos in particular are the stuff of dreams. I recently had an ex-student of the Royal College of Music wanting to buy a Steinway grand piano and asked if he could see an example of my work. I put him in touch with the person who wrote me this email and now they have spoken again. Please see the Testimonials page for more.

Dear Iain

Grahame called last night and was on the phone for about half an hour--waxing strong in delirious delight over the you, the Steinway and what you've done with it. A man in a trance which is how it should be.
     Still he was talking to someone who's been through it so to speak and I sat and smiled while I recognised all the same emotions. He was too excited to remember to talk about piano stools but if he calls again I'll let him know of course. In the meantime I'm still absolutely entranced with mine and working hard for Claire's lesson once a fortnight. Feel I've seriously made progress and that's been inspired of course by the piano. It seems to be able to accommodate the range from Bach to Bartok. It's been almost 3 months since the last tuning and it's holding extraordinarily well.

See you soon

Clive
