About the Author:
Kim Rawlings has been tuning, repairing, rebuilding, refinishing, and selling pianos for over twenty-five years. He started his career in the early 1970's at one of the West's largest piano retailers. Kim was involved in all aspects of technical servicing of pianos as well as the sales of pianos. He started his own piano retail store in 1980 and soon developed three additional piano retail outlets. From 1988 to 1998 Kim was the Head Piano Technician for one of the largest piano retailers in America. He now owns and operates his own piano retail store in Washington State selling his dream piano. He has also maintained his own piano servicing business. Kim's piano servicing abilities have made it possible for him to tune for some of the greatest pianists and musicians in the world. From the early 1970's until the present he has tuned for over fifty performers as they performed in concert in his area.
