I started playing the piano at age 5. At nine I joined a boys band and learned to play the saxophone. At 13, the band needed an oboe player. I was chosen. At 19 I started attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and after a couple years of serving a church mission during my university years, I received a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education with oboe as my major instrument.
In that program, I learned to basically play all of the instruments of the orchestra and became a high school band and orchestra teacher. However, after a couple of years of teaching I decided that teaching was not my forte.
Paul's Piano Service is owned and operated by Paul Plumb, B.Mus.Ed., Piano Technician
I decided I should do what I loved best in high school - music and shop. What better than being a Piano Technician? With instruction from a mail order course from the Randy Potter School of Piano Technology in 1989 I then apprenticed for a year with Roland Gritanni. I owe Roland a lot for his willingness to apprentice me when no one else would. With Roland's help I started servicing pianos that same year.
After operating Plumb Pianos and Academic Music School for many years in London, Ontario, I retired in 2016 - but after a couple of years of being bored, decided it was time to be semi-retired and do what I thoroughly enjoyed - hence Paul's Piano Service, serving the piano community with tuning and minor repairs.
This small business helps single moms in Africa. Most of what you spend here will go to help them. They get nothing from their countries to be able to survive. If you're not interested in a piano, I would gladly receive whatever you can give to help them.
Below is a picture of my last shop where we reconditioned used pianos and provided great deals for people looking for a piano at a great price.
