About Supreme Pianos of New York
Dutchess County, NY Piano Craftsman
Westchester County, NY
Supreme Pianos of NY; with over 25 years of experience in high level piano tuning, restoration and service. I began my career as a piano tuner/ technician when I was hired by the Manhattan School of Music, in 1984 to service their pianos. At that time MSM had 120 Steinway Grand Pianos so this was an incredible opportunity to learn about the intricacies and subtleties of these remarkable instruments. The school would regularly bring in some of the best Steinway technicians in the world to work on their pianos; Franz Moore, concert grand tuning, Ralph Buscelli, grand action regulation, and Angelo Andino, soundboards, pin-blocks and stringing. These legends of the piano industry became my friends and mentors early on in of my career. MSM also hired a very fine piano rebuilder and restorer, John Hartman, to restore some of their older Steinway Grand Pianos.
In 1986 I began serving as an apprentice with John at his restoration shop in Beacon, NY to gain hands-on experience in the fine craft of piano restoration. Through my work with John I developed a clientele in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley, while maintaining my relationship to MSM and my clients in NY City. This established a pattern that I have maintained throughout my career of servicing pianos both in NY City and in the Hudson Valley.
In the mid 1990’s, Ralph Buscelli, the great Steinway action restorer and regulator, retired from the piano business and invited me to take his place as the Piano Action Technician for the New York Piano Center. At the New York Piano Center my job was exclusively high level action regulation and restoration of Steinway Grand Pianos.
In 2003, an explosion in a paint store on the first floor of the building forced the piano shop to close for a few months and then move to New Jersey. I guess you could say that I took this as a sign that it was time for me to move on and realize my dream of starting my own piano restoration shop. So Supreme Pianos of NY came into being. Since I had developed a solid base of clients in the Hudson Valley (many who have become my good friends), the Hudson Valley seemed a natural choice for a location for my business.
The relatively low overhead gives me the opportunity to provide the highest level of piano restoration at prices that are very affordable. The knowledge and expertise acquired from working with some of the finest Steinway technicians in the world as well as many years of personal experience allows me to provide the highest quality of craftsmanship available. Welcome to Supreme Pianos of NY! With many thanks for the wonderful friendships that I have developed through the years, with colleagues and client alike, Sincerely, Jeremy Duckles Pres., Supreme Pianos of NY
