About Anthony

Anthony Willey began tuning pianos in 2001 with a tuning lever and fork, some mutes, a book, and a lesson from Don Findlay, the family piano tuner. Beginning in 2006 he underwent 4 years of training at the Brigham Young University piano shop under Keith Kopp and James Busby. Anthony went on to pass the Piano Technicians Guild tuning and technical certification examinations himself, becoming a Registered Piano Technician with the Piano Technicians Guild. Although Anthony began—and passed the PTG tuning exam—as an aural tuner, he now tunes using a combination of professional piano tuning software and aural checks.

Anthony earned a Masters degree in physics from Brigham Young University, and has 25 years of experience as a classical musician, playing and teaching multiple instruments including the string bass, violin and piano. He also designed and built a fully functional harpsichord.

In 2013 Anthony and his wife moved to Seattle; they currently live in Renton with their two children.

Anthony is a physics geek and part-time inventor whose most recent project was to develop a piano tuning app for Android called PianoMeter that can be used by professionals and hobbyists to tune pianos to a professional standard.
