“I started training as a piano technician at Kawai France during a financial crisis. This means our workload was dramatically reduced, so I was lucky to spend a lot of time studying in the showroom, working on the very fine quality hand-built Shigeru concert pianos. I'll always be grateful for this opportunity and privilege, which allowed me to benefit from an extraordinary initial training. I'm passionate about anything to do with pianos, classical music, gardening, and… humidity!"

Tony became an Australian citizen in June 2021.
