Dr. Roy E. Howard is a Steinway-trained piano technician with over 50 years of experience in piano technology. He retired as the on-staff tuner/technician at Wichita State University and served as president of the Wichita Chapter Piano Technicians Guild from 2018–2019.

Ron Hill, proprietor, has over 18 years of experience in piano tuning, action regulation, and field repairs. I’m passionate about this work because every piano I touch has a story behind it—family memories, church services, kids learning music—and I get to bring that story back to life. There’s something incredibly satisfying about taking an instrument that doesn’t sound right and turning it into something beautiful again, all while using a skill that’s both mechanical and musical. On top of that, this is my business—my name, my reputation—so every piano reflects the pride I take in what I do. I get to solve problems, work with my hands, connect with people, and leave every place a little better than I found it, and that’s what makes this work so meaningful to me. I currently serve as treasurer to the Wichita Chapter Piano Technicians Guild.

Marc Sulprizio, originally from Boston, has been involved in music his entire life. After graduating high school, he traveled the country with his guitar, sharing his love of music on the streets of major U.S. cities while working along the way in a variety of unique jobs, including exotic animal caretaker and tour guide. Marc settled in Wichita in 2018, where he began focusing on the piano and its inner workings. He studied piano tuning, repair, and regulation under Dr. Roy E. Howard at Wichita State University, gaining hands-on experience while helping maintain the university’s fleet of more than 125 grand and upright pianos.

All technicians are trusted piano tuners serving Sedgwick County and the surrounding communities.
