How to Buy a Piano

 

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and have remained in Atlanta for most of my life. My wife Deborah and I were married in 1967 and have two children and two grandchildren.

I served in the United States Navy from 1970- 1974 aboard the USS Simon Lake (AS-33), a Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine Tender, working directly for the Captain and Executive Officer. I spent my last two years of service living in Rota, Spain.

I started my music industry career working for my father-in-law, Jim Scott. Jim Scott had been the piano and organ buyer for Rich's Department stores and musician for several Atlanta based television shows. Jim bought the Hammond Organ Studios in 1966 and changed the name to Jim Scott Organ and Piano Studios soon after. During the 28 years with Jim Scott, I served as delivery coordinator, organ and piano service manager, store manager, and general manager. I gladly began employment with  England Piano in 2000.

During my many years in the piano industry, I have represented most brands and I am knowledgeable of all pianos.

I provide my clients with a top quality product knowing they will ALWAYS be satisfied. It makes my job fun and enjoyable.

Bill Jacobs

Piano Technician


I came here from Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1988 where I owned a piano store for fifteen years. I started learning piano in college and have done nothing else since 1973. I've tuned for many large concerts and several movies, one of which, was an academy award winner. The piano business is wonderful and I wouldn't trade jobs with anyone (hardly). I have been a part of the England Piano technical team since 1992.

I have two daughters, eight grandchildren and a five pound Pomeranian named "Muffin". So, I have many bosses. My children, grandchildren, dog, and piano are my passions and hobbies all rolled together.
