Rebuilding

Whether we are rebuilding a piano which you already own, or looking to source a piano for you to buy, we aim to set up your piano to suit your taste.

Piano servicing

Pianos, particularly those at the top end of the concert market, need to be maintained to the highest standard on a regular basis.

Double actions

Making one piano into two has become a specialist area for GPS. Having two actions gives venues and pianists options for different repertoire and styles.

Dear Peter [Salisbury] During my career as a concert pianist, I must have given over 3000 concerts. Yet I cannot recall any instrument as magnificent and as superbly prepared as the one you prepared for me yesterday for my recital at London’s Royal Festival Hall. It was as near perfection as can be imagined in all parameters – the huge dynamic range, evenness of voicing, astonishingly sensitive response and it’s seemingly effortless ability to cope under stress. Indeed, after the lengthy recital, concluding with Liszt’s B minor Sonata, the tuning was as rock solid as two hours earlier. All I can say is a huge ‘thank you’ for your outstanding and expert work. You remain unsurpassed as top technician, and I hope I shall have the good fortune to work with you again on many future occasions as I have in the past.

I have worked with Peter Salisbury for years and never cease to admire his professional qualities and to enjoy the company of this extremely pleasant gentleman.I highly recommend him to everybody who wants his (or her) grand piano taken good care of.

Everything about Global Piano Services is out of the top drawer. If you are looking to buy a piano or if you want the one you have to be maintained in best possible condition then you’ve come to the right place.

I have known Glenn Easley for 30 years and his work is recognized by myself and my colleagues as being of the very highest quality. It is hardly surprising that someone as enterprising as Glenn as well as his colleagues have assembled to form such a formidable team for this venture, Global Piano Services. Their vision should, I feel, be supported by all musicians and musical promoters, worldwide.

It is of utmost importance that high quality concert pianos are being looked after meticulously and kept at the top level – both in tuning and regulation. I experienced many times the highest level of professional piano servicing from Glenn Easley and Peter Salisbury, and they belong to the very top of piano technicians of the world. My only regret is I cannot take them with me to every concert on my global touring!

I consider myself to be very fortunate in knowing that my own personal piano is under the watchful and talented hands of George Kolasis. His dedication and concern is displayed in the incredible sound that my instrument has in his care. I can only stress here that his talent for bringing out the individual characteristics of an instrument is absolutely amazing. Apart from my being a friend of George Kolasis, I consider him a genius with pianos.

As General Manager of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in the 1980’s, I appointed Glenn Easley to the position of our piano technician. After many years of problems with our pianos, the situation was immediately corrected. The instruments were revamped and once again played as well as the day they were purchased, the orchestra and venue gaining a reputation as having top class instruments. I was again able to book the world’s greatest pianists without any concern that the pianos would be problematical.
