Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2002, Big Wrench Piano Care is a small, craft-oriented piano sales, tuning and repair service catering to the needs of piano owners and musicians on every scale. At its core is Brian Whiton, Registered Piano Technician (RPT). Beginning in the Twin Cities of Minnesota at Steinway & Sons retail giant Schmitt Music and moving to Brooklyn in 2001, Brian has worked with several of the finest piano rebuilders and tuners in New York City.

Early influences include established tuner/technicians Steve Drasche and the late Gene Manfrini; experience in the local Piano Technician's Guild has led to association with esteemed technicians Daniel Levitan RPT, and Mike Miccio RPT, and soundboard guru and old world master craftsman, Marco DeLellis.

Acoustic Piano Tuning and Other Services

Report

Big Wrench Piano Care began as a tuning and repair service dedicated to custom professional acoustic piano service and we still honor our commitment to the thousands of pianos in New York homes, music schools, churches, concert halls, recording studios, parks, and any other place where a piano might be ready to make music.

Acoustic Piano Sales

Report

We maintain a unique and diverse selection of mostly American upright and grand pianos, with special attention given to prewar New York City produced Steinway pianos. We also have an affinity for many other classic American makes--pianos made with pride and built to last. Mason & Hamlin, Knabe, Chickering, Baldwin, Hardman, and Sohmer are just a few examples of American makes that featured quality craftsmanship.

Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer Services

Report

From Ray Charles and Donny Hathaway to Supertramp and Beck, the Wurlitzer Electric Piano has defined many musical styles, from the 1950's through to today. There are at least eight different models of Wurlitzer electric pianos that we proudly service. If you find one, or happen to have one that isn't so hot, we can fix it and make it sound and play even better than the day it was made.

Vintage Electric Piano Sales

Report

We specialize in both sales and rentals of vintage electric pianos. The two most iconic makes are Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer, and Hohner, Baldwin and Yamaha also made some unique electric pianos. The types of electric pianos that we sell and service have mechanical actions--usually felt or rubber tipped hammers that strike reeds or tines to produce tones that are amplified electronically.
