PIANO KRAFT SELLS MORE THAN PIANOS. WE SELL KNOWLEDGE, SERVICE, AND SATISFACTION.

Jim McGehee began in the piano business in Aarhus, Denmark in 1978 as a concert tuner and technician. He moved to Copenhagen in 1980 as the concert technician for the Royal Danish Opera, the Royal Danish Orchestra as well as the Royal Danish Music Conservatory. During this time, he received training at the Steinway & Sons London workshop at Park Royal under the tutelage of Mr. Peter Salisbury. During his time in Denmark, he owned one of the most productive rebuilding shops in Scandinavia, rebuilding old Steinways for major institutions as well as for private customers. In 1999, he returned to his home town of Little Rock to open Piano Kraft, a piano store dedicated to offering the finest quality pianos with unsurpassed after sales service.

Richard Deutsch comes to us from Dallas where he has 20 years experience in retail sales and piano service consulting. Richard has over 10 years of wholesale buying experience for one of the largest dealers in the U.S. which helps us bring the lowest possible prices to the market. He has also spent years working with higher education and music learning facilities to help promote the musical arts. Richard's extensive knowledge in manufacturing and design of pianos brings to Piano Kraft a welcome wealth of expertise.

Stephen Wirges joined Piano Kraft in the fall of 2001 and has developed into a professional piano tuner, technician and re-builder this company can be proud of. His ability to regulate older pianos, grands and uprights, and bring them back to factory specifications is giving new life to older instruments. He has also trained as a re-builder of older instruments and divides his time between servicing our customers and re-building in our work shop. He will soon be visiting the Bechstein factory in Germany for further training.

Matthew Billingsley is our newest technician and has come to learn the degree of skill expected from our customers. With his ability to tune and repair pianos, he has become a great benefit to our service department.
