Beni Sigrist

I learned the profession of piano maker at the Jecklin music store in Zurich. During my apprenticeship, I also took further training at the Burger & Jacobi piano factory in Biel. After successful completion, I attended several courses at Steinway & Sons in Hamburg. In the following years I worked as a concert tuner in the Tonhalle, in the opera house and in the field service at the music store Jecklin. During this time I was able to gain a lot of experience as a concert technician as well as a trouble-shooter.

After commercial and management school, I switched to sales at Musikhaus Jecklin.

Since 1997 I have been successfully self-employed and today I work in concert halls and for various renowned pianists. For 25 years I led the tuning courses for apprentices in piano making as an instructor. Today I am still heavily involved in the training of apprentices in musical instrument making. I held a leading position at the Swiss Association of Piano Makers and Tuners SVKS until 2020.

Thus, I distinguish myself through my more than 37 years of professional experience and the will to get the best out of every instrument.
