Josias Sigrist

I learned the profession of piano maker over 10 years ago in Italian-speaking Switzerland. After completing my 4-year apprenticeship (2010), I completed my compulsory military service with the rescue forces and then worked for a year in military disaster relief.

However, I felt the desire to return to my learned profession and so I accepted a position in Montreal, Canada with the Steinway&Sons representative there. My activities there included looking after the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and the Studio Piccolo.

After two years (2015), I returned to Switzerland to join the Jecklin/Musik Hug company after a temporary employment with my father and an internship at Faust&Harrison Pianos in New York.

There I was able to develop and refine my skills in the workshop, but also remained active in customer service and concert service.

In 2017, I decided to join my parents in the business and was able to grow and expand the company as the General Manager.

I place particular emphasis on quality, accuracy and honesty in my work. My strengths include experience at the highest concert level, successful collaboration with renowned pianists (including Hélène Grimaud, Jan Lisiecki and Yuja Wang) and my experience in the restoration of grand and upright pianos.

I look forward to advising and assisting you at your home, at concerts, on the phone or in our workshop.
