Unfortunately, keyboards and “digital pianos” (aka synthesizers) are not designed to be serviceable over the long-term. Manufacturers simply do not produce enough stock of spare parts, nor do they provide access to service manuals.
Instead, we recommend the addition of a digital (optical) system by PianoDisc or QRS Music to an acoustic piano. This will provide you with the weighted touch response needed to progress in your piano technique, while adding 88 built-in instruments (PianoDisc only), the ability to practice silently using headphones, record and share your playing. Add reverb, chorus, delay, transpose (PianoDisc only) and play live!
Both systems (PianoDisc & QRS) have been in production for over 25 years and are fully serviceable by Edmonton piano works workshop and field service technicians. The video below provides a brief introduction. For more information please contact us. •

Thousands of Satisfied Clients
Formally educated through the University of Western Ontario’s Piano Technology Program, Michael Ruttle is a master-level piano technician experienced in every facet of piano tuning, maintenance and repair. His work can be heard in major venues across Alberta as well as in schools, churches, community centres, restaurants, lounges, on Disney+, and in thousands of private homes — on pianos ranging from the simplest of spinets for first-time students, to the most elaborate concert grands for seasoned performers.
My experience as a technician has taught me to appreciate the subtle complexities of this unique instrument, and to understand the needs of pianists and piano owners. I respect and value an honourable reputation by holding myself and my team to a quality work standard. We look forward to providing you with prompt and professional piano tuning, maintenance, repair, restoration, moving and storage services.
