This episode is the first part of a series of episodes we’ll be doing on the unsung heroes of the piano world: piano technicians. William “Boomer” Harold is the piano technician at Yale School of Music, and we have a enlightening conversation how piano tuning works, what drew him into the field, the complex and exhaustive activity that goes behind making those pianos you perform on sound good, and so much more. I know I definitely will be going around with more awareness after having had this conversation!
