The J-B Staff

Glenn Woodruff

I am Glenn Woodruff, the second owner since our founding in 1954. My background is that of a tuner who began an apprenticeship tuning pianos during high school, but it was when I began working with Jared & Binion that my horizons as a piano technician, rebuilder and enthusiast really expanded.

Our clients are some of the most accomplished, discerning and world famous pianists, and the instruments which have come through our workshop are some of the finest pianos ever built. We have successfully restored and serviced many wonderful (and sometimes very challenging) historical pianos for individual artists, colleges and studios.

Cameron Woodruff

Growing up surrounded by pianos, Cameron’s interest in their inner workings was sparked at an early age. After apprenticing with master piano technicians and fine woodworkers, and now with 20+ years in the business, Cameron is a highly skilled, expert piano technician performing at concert-level tech standards and is a seasoned rebuilder. He’s the shop foreman, running our day-to-day operations, rebuilding pianos, and going on tuning calls for concerts and recording sessions. Beyond pianos, Cameron’s musical pursuits are many—he’s a classical guitarist, talented songwriter, and an accomplished recording artist alongside his band.

Mark Robertson

Mark Robertson has been with The J-B Piano Company since 1990 and he is a concert pianist, producer, studio musician, composer and piano consultant/technician. He is the CFO of our company, but his knowledge and experience with piano regulation and restoration keeps him involved in the shop as well as day to day customer relations and logistics.

Ramon Garza

Ramon Garza has been the Master Refinisher since 1992. Along with his wife Clara Garza, they are a vital part of our team at The J-B Piano Company. Ramon’s work is unsurpassed, owing to his perfectionism, artistry and his sheer amount of experience. The finished products coming from Ramon’s department are consistent and done with great dedication and passion. In the case of his refinishing work, seeing is believing and every piano turns out beautiful and remains that way for years.

Clara Garza

Clara Garza is an absolute inspiration in her work ethic, attention to detail and in the consistency of her work in the refinishing department. She has been with us almost as long as Ramon, to whom she is married. Together they have been an intergral part of The JB Piano Company’s restoration and refinishing operation.

Apprenticeships

Seth Asarnow

Seth’s enthusiasm about piano technology and restoration and his determination to become an expert piano technician has rapidly expedited his journey in the piano technician trade and in his skill progression. Seth is also an excellent pianist and gigs regularly.

Christine Hosfeldt

Christine demonstrates a high attention to detail, as well as genuine pride in the work she has been tasked with here (various tasks pertaining to action regulation, key re-bushing and easing, under key felt replacement, damper replacement and regulation, among others) and she has been in constant pursuit of perfection. She will soon be attending the North Bennet Street School in New York for Piano Technology to attain certification.
