Precision Piano Craftsmanship for Birmingham

O

perating through RMT Originals and Musicrafts, Robert M. Turner brings five decades of hands-on musical craftsmanship and a careful, analytical approach to every piano he services across the Birmingham area.

Musical Foundation & Ear Training

Classical Training as an Oboist

Robert began his musical education at the LSU School of Music studying oboe under Earnest Harrison, followed by a Bachelor of Music Education (BME) degree from Henderson State University in 1975. Performing as Principal Oboe with the South Arkansas Symphony from 1973 to 1978 developed an acute acoustic ear for pitch harmony, interval purity, and concert-level expressive balance.

Factory Benchwork & Rebuilding

25 Steinways & Concert Fieldwork

Starting in 1979 with on-site Pianocorder retrofit installations, Robert traveled across 38 US states, Sweden, England, Puerto Rico, and Mexico preparing instruments to concert regulation standards. Over a decade at Forbes Piano, he rebuilt 25 Steinway grand and upright pianos and attended Steinway training for a whole week to study how they put pianos together using jigs, fixtures, and templates.

Word-of-Mouth Reputation

Robert's client base is built almost entirely on personal recommendations rather than commercial advertising. Working directly with serious musicians, teaching studios, and dedicated owners, he maintains direct personal accountability for every instrument serviced.
