ABOUT US

In 2008 Sarah C. and Andrew C. trained at UWO’s piano technology program & extended rebuilding semester.
Sarah then interned for the Royal Conservatory of Music’s tuning department and Andrew began a junior position tuning pianos with Robert Lowry’s piano experts, Toronto’s last large-scale piano restoration space.
From 2009 to 2014, Steve Jackson Pianos afforded them the unique opportunity to conduct comprehensive piano restoration and repair work on rare, historical instruments. They completed several piano rebuilding projects and, on their own, rebuilt a lovely Mason and Hamlin model A for their own private use.

In 2017, they trained in voicing and regulation at the Bechstein Academy in Germany. Andrew honed his piano voicing capabilities while Sarah trained in the factory's action department.By 2022, Andrew left his senior technician position at Merriam Music in order to focus entirely on building the Middle C. Pianos name into an agile and professional piano tuning and repair company able to serve Toronto and the GTA quickly and reliably. Sarah has gone on to run an ice-cream chop called [moonmilk] (https://moonmilktoronto.com), but Andrew still borrows her tuning tools from time to time.In 2024 Andrew attended the Complete Concert Grand Preparation Certificate provided by Yamaha's PTA (Piano Technician Academy) led by master Technician Terri Niimi, furthering Andrew's development as a masterful voicing technician and comprehensive concert technician.
