I haven't told you anything about myself yet.  I suppose it was the last thing on my mind. 
I have played piano for oh, say 20 plus years and I wish I made more time to do it now.  If I could only play Bach and Rachmaninoff with some rags for spice the rest of my days that would be just fine.  I have been a technician for about 5 years now and really love what I get to do.  This kind of work is definitely not for everybody but pianos are fine companions through a work day.  I am a proud Registered Piano Technician with the Piano Technicians Guild.  I have learned a great deal with my local and national technician friends and enjoy a great inter-dependence while generally working alone. 
That lady in the picture is my look-a-like wife and she's better on a swingset than I am.  I am a hobby woodworker trying to build as much of the furniture in our house as I can, and is allowed.  The opportunities to see the construction materials and methods of many many pianos has shown me many things that do and do not work over time.  I'm trying to exercise some of that in my own work, and at the same time further my abilities of repair and maintenance of your piano.  

I am Chuck Beck, and I hope to be the technician knocking at your door.
