Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Person Sharpens Another.

Complacency in the world of piano technology is a real and consistent problem.  It is easy to become the sole benchmark of one’s own work.  You tune, the client pays, and you leave, and unless something drastically goes wrong, you rarely receive feedback.

In a multi-technician company our work is constantly being seen and evaluated by our peers.  Standards are discussed debated, and elevated.  That healthy intellectual friction means continual skill growth.  Without it, even well intentioned solo technicians often plateau.

As this industry evolves the gap between “good enough” and truly high level piano service work is growing not shrinking.

A larger company takes nothing away from the personal relationships our clients often build with their preferred technician.  It simply elevates the quality of service you can expect. 

At Vanguard we are deeply invested in continuing education both internally and through industry conventions and manufacturer training programs.

In a world where it is becoming more and more common for amateurs to spend a few months or years apprenticing and then leave the education behind when they feel they have learned enough to cash the check, Vanguard remains committed to becoming even better, year after year.
