Chris Venables

Chris Venables began his career as a tuner-technician over 30 years ago. Within the first year he opened his first piano showroom and soon became well-known for his progressive approach to piano retailing.

1984 saw the launch of the Chris Venables range of hand-finished pianos, followed shortly by John Broadwood and Sons awarding Venables the first licence in the UK to hand-finish their upright range to clients' specification.

In 1988, Classical Music Magazine wrote: "Chris Venables is an ambassador for new instruments and goes to great lengths to promote them. He summons up a truly missionary zeal to convince people they will get better value buying new... His success is due to the combination of an incurable passion for pianos with an entrepreneurial flair which is quick to see opportunities and act on them.". This statement applies as much today as it did then.

Having received technical training from both Steinway & Sons and Yamaha, Chris has prepared Concert Grand Pianos for EMI Classical Music, BBC Radio, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Peter Donohoe, John Lill, Peter Katin & Jose Carreras.

Will Venables

With 15 years technical experience, Will is meticulous in his preparation of new pianos, specialising in voicing (hammer intonation) matching the piano's tonal qualities to the player and optimising the piano's expressive voice.
