"Spencer Williams has done an excellent job in tuning my pianos. He is a skilled piano technician who's 'Old School Craftsmanship' is methodically and lovingly given to every detail of the instrument.   Spencer is one of those very special tuners who can make a piano sound and play as beautifully as possible."   

-Dennis Edwards, International Steinway Artist

Spencer began his career as a long term apprentice to Steve Brady in Seattle, WA. Steve's writing and teaching inspired him to pursue challenging and inspiring work in the field of Piano Technology. In under two years he earned the distinction of Registered Piano Technician (RPT) by passing a series of rigorous examinations with the Piano Technicians Guild. In 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 he attended the C.F. Theodore Steinway Academy conducted at the Steinway & Sons Factory, Long Island City, New York. In 2017, he completed the Grand Piano Action Master Course conducted at the world-renowned Renner Academy, a division of the Louis Renner Company in Germany and Renner USA, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. Spencer continued his pursuit of high-level concert work as a Concert Piano Technician at the elite Aspen Music Festival And School, where he had the opportunity to work with some of the world’s greatest performers and most promising young musicians from 2009-2019. He has spent the last decade caring for the pianos at the wonderful Sitka Music Festival, and in 2o22 became part of the team at the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson Hole, WY, which was named one of the top 10 summer music festivals in the U.S. by the New York Times that year.
