Barnaby Carter

Qualified piano technician for Bristol, the South West and London.

Traditional apprenticeship

I completed a five year apprenticeship in a traditional workshop setting in Bristol, establishing a valuable and broad footing within a highly specialised trade.

Newark piano school

Trained in the traditional aural method of tuning at the well respected piano school in Newark.
