About
Russell G. Gallman is a CERTIFIED PIANO TECHNICIAN in Atlanta and graduate of the Piano Technology Program of the University of Western Ontario located in London, Ontario, Canada. He is a native of the Atlanta area and a resident of Duluth in Gwinnett County since 1972.
He began tuning as a hobbyist in 1999 when he returned to his first love – the piano. His passion for the instrument began at the age of fifteen. In 2006 he decided to take his technical skill sets and knowledge base to a professional level when he was accepted as 1 of 14 candidates to train in the highly intensive and internationally respected Piano Technology Program at UWO – www.pianotech.uwo.ca.
Russell enjoys artistic endeavors and especially enjoys sitting down at the piano in the evenings to decompress and compose. Monthly interactions and fellowship with local piano technicians as sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of the Piano Technician’s Guild are particularly gratifying as well. However, utilizing his gifts and talents to enable artists, students and keyboard enthusiasts to explore their hearts through sound will always be his focus and passion.
