![]() I last saw Frank in 2008, he told me "Music has given me a wonderful life". Having lived a full life he had many amazing stories to tell including those of his time in the army during WWII. Frank was an exceptional pianist and organist and was a real character, well known throughout the region. Frank is sadly no longer with us having passed away in July 2010. When at Middletons Organs I also received advice and tuition from Frank Burrows, one of the areas leading piano tuners'. Beware the technician who thinks he knows it all, I will never stop learning throughout my career. With the advent of information technology and social media there are now national and international forums where new ideas and materials are shared unselfishly, giving the lie to the myth that this kind of technology occupies an evolutionary cul-de-sac. The PTA helps customers find local tuner/technicians, provides tuning/service reminders for customers and provides classes, newsletters, and regular conventions for it’s members, where the focus is on continual professional development. I provide tuning services, action restoration, re-stringing etc and if you are looking to purchase accessories then I can offer a whole range of items to suit your needs.Īdditionally I am a member of the Federation of Small Businesses and a member of the Pianoforte Tuners Association (PTA) having passed my entrance examination in summer 2010. My clients range from private owners to schools and colleges and include examining boards and local theatres. The course was the finest choice providing an insight into not only the history and art of piano making and restoration but also practical hands on experience for all the students. I received an education at Newark Technical College on the piano tuning, maintenance & repair course where I gained City and Guilds qualifications in tuning, toning, repair and reconditioning in 1988. I have over 30 years of experience tuning and servicing pianos having started my career as a 17 year old at Middletons Organs where I learned basic maintenance and repair under owner Roy Havercroft. He can also advise you on transporting your piano, piano hire, buying a piano and can check out any piano you are interested in buying/acquiring. ![]() He was also sent to Bahrain where he worked to support the Young Musician of the Gulf Competition.Īlthough Shaun has looked after some high quality and even prestigious pianos in his time, he isn't exclusive and is willing to look after your old, battered and beloved upright as long as it's serviceable. Shaun’s experience doesn’t end there, his work has taken him to the south of Ireland & the United Arab Emirates, where he worked as a tuner in Al Ain, Dubai & Abu Dhabi. As a result of many years of hard working experience, Shaun has earned a reputation as one of North Lincolnshire's leading piano tuners' who understands the local music community. ![]() His clients include schools, theatres, professional musicians and of course private owners. North Lincolnshire's Shaun McLoughlin is a professionally qualified piano tuner/technician, who has served North and North East Lincolnshire and their surrounding areas for over 17 years, providing an expert piano tuning, maintenance and repair service. ![]()
