About Dave Kaye
My work
From an early age I have always loved music. I was born and bred in Perth and studied music at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. I spent thirteen years in Italy, where I became apprentice to Giovanni Pasini, a renown piano technician in Ferrara in Italy’s north-east. Giovanni passed down all his knowledge and expertise to me, just as his master had done to him. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the chance to work in an environment with a true technician and craftsman who is as devoted to and passionate about his work as I am. Giovanni is a complete purist and still tunes pianos completely by ear! However I have welcomed the benefits of new technology and use it together with traditional aural techniques when tuning. After finishing as an apprentice to Giovanni Pasini I tuned and serviced pianos in and around Ravenna, Italy. I moved back to Perth with my wife and two children in 2014 and have been working in and around the Metropolitan Area since then. I am a fully qualified tuner and am a member of the Australasian Piano Tuners and Technicians Association (APTTA).
In more recent years I successfully completed a Yamaha Grand Piano Regulation course in Melbourne, under the tutelage of Yamaha Grand Piano Master Technicians Brent Ottley and Julian Morgan – Smith. I am qualified to work on the finest quality grand pianos.
I endeavour to keep active and up to date with the industry and have completed workshops with Perth based master technician Paul Tunzi and Bechstein master technician Torben Garlin from Germany.
