[pianotech] Russell Grethe

[CHARLES BECKER]

I would travel up to  Wells to bring keyboards to the Grethes.  They did fine work and I could always go away with a coffee can or two of misc ivory heads and tails.    Those days are gone.

  The Grethes have been doing keyboard work for ages. I expect that Russell is "getting up there" in age, but I thought his son was in business with him. Sorry, I don't have any contact information.

    Thanks Gordon,  I got the same info.  I also found that he is a Rotary Club member listing his profession as 'Antiques'.  However, I don't know what he may be using as a business name and listings for antiques at anywho haven't yielded any definitive answers. It has been claimed that he had done ivory keyboard restoration for Vladamir Horowitz and for Henry Kissinger.
