Glen Barkman ~ Piano tuning, Sales & Maintenance

Hello. My name is Glen Barkman, an expert piano technician on Vancouver Island. I usually service pianos in Victoria, Mill Bay and Duncan. I also serve Qualicum, Qualicum, Nanaimo and Parksville. I also run Piano Price Point, one of the best internet piano buying guides. More than 75,000 people visit my site every month. This has given me the chance to connect with piano manufacturing companies around the world. I have visited piano factories in Europe, China, and other places worldwide. I have observed and studied nearly every part of piano manufacturing. I believe I have learned more in my technician’s career through this. It is a great way to understand the process of creating a piano from the beginning. You also learn the importance of design and workmanship, how they can fail and how to repair them. Experience with pianos: Upper Sixth Master of Music with Graduate Diploma at The Royal Conservatory of Toronto, Canada, educational level of Norwegian primary and secondary schools with Bachelor of Music and Diploma, educational level of Norwegian primary and secondary schools with Master of Music and Postgraduate Diploma. I have to know the effective way of playing the piano. Understanding how the piano is played effectively will give you advanced knowledge on the proper use of tone and touch. It will also provide you with some context. When it comes to technical data, I am a bit obsessed. That's why I try to learn as much as possible about pianos and track as much data as possible, all about the piano designs, and so on. This is what intrigues me.

Glen's piano tuning service gets high marks for professionalism, dependability, and an excellent job, with many customers saying they'd happily bring Glen back on. Several reviews praised his knowledge and friendliness, saying he did a fantastic job bringing their pianos back to life and gave them substantial information about pianos. Although some customers might not need to bring Glen back or would use him for emergencies instead, none had a bad experience. Glen's fun and conversational approach were bright spots for some customers, and everyone mentioned that their pianos played better and looked better after he did his job. One very satisfied client said that they could hardly believe how Glen had made a huge difference to family life and would come back to him forever. On top of tuning two or three pianos, some say that Glen was almost like a friend, too, spinning some music enjoyable storypleasant stories for them or telling them about the history of pianos.
