Peter Tryon's 'The Steinway that Wouldn't Budge' was reviewed by International Piano Magazine
International Piano Magazine published a great review for Peter Tryon's cheerful autobiography of his life as a piano tuner.
"It is pleasant to have these good-humoured thoughts delivered in a friendy style"
Peter Tryon's Confessions of a Piano Tuner is a charming, autobiographical tale of life spent travelling around rural East Anglia tuning pianos. But this is also a personal account from boyhood of how music and more specifically the mechanics of that wonderful instrument, fired early imagination and gave rise to a lifelong fascination and involvement with the piano.
As much a social commentary on people, the anecdotes about different characters are filled with humour and the text is light and easy to read. The unspoiled beauty and charm of East Anglia provides a perfect backdrop to Peter Tryon's account, all combining together to make this a book that you won't want to put down.
