Thus, the technicians will sometimes send large piano restoration projects to piano repair shops such as Sweeney Piano. Often, even if a college or university employs its own piano technician, at times there are jobs too big or space too little for the resident technician to tackle. A piano coming from Austin, Texas or Dallas, Texas, for example and arriving to our shop in need of repair will take about a week from pickup of your piano in Texas to delivery to our piano restoration shop in West Chester, PA, and back to Texas with your beautiful piano completely restored. Sometimes contractors will send pianos to our shop for repair. When the pianos are rented, repair and refinishing is usually a responsibility of the contractor. Often, universities and colleges will own their own pianos rather than rent them from local or national piano company contractors. Performance pianos are especially cared for at the academic level since the school's reputation somewhat depends upon the old tradition of academic exhibition where faculty and students perform for those invested in the cultural caliber and future of the artistic community. As you can imagine, the job not only entails skilled handling of the pianos themselves, but also a constant interchange with faculty and students about pianos, piano music and the relationship between performer and instrument. At schools with large inventories, such as the University of Texas at Austin, piano technicians will be in care of hundreds of pianos - class room and performance pianos - at one time. Often the number of pianos at a single college or university will be large enough that an entire department will be dedicated to piano maintenance, repair, rebuilding, refinishing and restoration. Very often universities and colleges in Texas, both public and private, have what is called a "resident piano technician." A resident piano technician is either contracted or employed by the particular school to repair pianos owned by the school. The city of Austin alone has over 1700 bands and performers registered with the office. The Texas Music OfficeĪs part of the Office of the Governor, the Texas Music Office maintains a Texas Talent Register which has a branch dedicated just to music and musicians from Texas.
