Louis Del Bene, RPT works on keyboard instruments for a living and enjoys sharing what he does and learning from others. He likes to cut things apart, and glue things together. He likes to turn screws, and go outside. He’s pretty weird and that doesn’t seem to be changing any time soon. Hillary thinks he’s a big nerd, and she’s not wrong.

He also works on early keyboard instruments and makes tools and supplies for harpsichord voicing, regulation, & repair.

Hillary York, RPT has worked in both production focused and boutique piano rebuilding shops, as well as piano factories.  She has the unique ability to repeat the same task many times in windowless rooms, although she prefers to collaborate and work with others.  “Less talky-talky, more worky-worky.”
