Wayne Robbins, our principal technician, first worked for Cumberland Pianoworks as a high school student in the early '90's. Wayne was a quick learner and excelled at the detail work on actions in the shop. Returning to Tennessee from Texas, Wayne began his student role with us in January 2005. For a season Wayne studied with Eliot in the field three days a week, learning tuning, diagnostics and on-site repairs and regulation. He also has quickly recovered his piano action refurbishing skills and is currently taking on most of these shop jobs. Wayne has proven to be a conscientious technician and is devoted to excellence in his work. Wayne is a professional trumpet player. He earned a Bachelors degree from Tennessee Tech in Music Education, and earned both a Masters and a Doctorate in Trumpet Performance from the University of Texas at Austin. Playing the trumpet is Wayne's professional passion but he finds that part time piano work fits well with his performance responsibilities.  We look forward to Wayne's contributions to our service capabilities for years to come as  he  continues to be associated with us.

Eliot and Emily Roberts have serviced fine pianos together in the Upper Cumberlands since 1983.  Eliot began his career in piano technology as a student in Emily's shop in 1979. Emily started working on pianos in Texas in 1969. Associate Wayne Robbins served for two years in the shop in the '90's and returned in 2005 and is now a proven member of this quality team.
