Arthur Munter, already in his late seventies when I first met him was a fine piano technician from Mamaroneck, NY who was totally blind. I owe it to him for giving me a good start in the field of piano service. He lost his sight in a fireworks accident at the age of six and later learned the piano trade and practiced Morse Code as a radio operator, both of which he did over sixty years. I asked him to fix the upright piano pictured below and we became friends. Years later I would receive excellent ratings from Steinway & Sons for my piano work. "Gary's pianos fly out the door!"- Dan Miceli, manager- Steinway Hall. Simply put: Best service at reasonable prices.

A quote from Margrit Zimmermann:
"As a working classical pianist with a busy schedule my piano has suffered much wear and tear, but I couldn't simply stop using it for my private lessons, plus the work done to my Hamburg Steinway 'B' grand had to be first rate. One of my students shared his contact, a piano technician who I could trust with the needed work. Gary Bauchman quickly and expertly assessed what work it needed, did a fine job tuning it and replaced some damaged parts in the piano's action. For this reason I am very happy to recommend him because of his expert skills and overall outstanding service.
Sincerely,
Margrit Zimmermann"
