I started playing the piano at age 5.  At nine I joined the London Police Boys band and learned to play the soprano saxophone.  At 13, the band needed an oboe player.  I was chosen.  In 1958 I had the privilege of attending the Interlochen National Music Camp.  In 1960 the very first Canadian National Youth Orchestra was started and I had the privilege of being in it. 

At 19 I started attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and received a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education with oboe as my major instrument in 1971. 

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 is owned and operated by Paul Plumb, B.Mus.Ed., Piano Technician

So - what to do?  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 and an apprenticeship for about a year with Roland Gritanni I became a piano technician.  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 semi-retired and do what I thoroughly enjoy - hence Paul's Piano, serving the piano community with good quality used pianos, tuning and minor repairs.

This small business helps single moms in Africa.  Most of our profits 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 the shop where we reconditioned inexpensive used pianos to provide good beginner pianos.  We no longer do this.  If you are looking for an inexpensive piano, let me help you find one from the many free ones available.  Free isn't free if it comes with problems.  Otherwise, take a look at the high quality master craftsmen reconditioned used pianos we have available.
