Ferdinand Phinizy Pointer

Years ago, when I was launching my career in earnest as a Piano technician, I learned many things about the vertical piano action from working with Ferdinand in his shop. This experience came as a result of one of my own clients, whose childhood piano, a Kimball Artist Series Console, had been purposefully ruined/vandalized in a tumultuous domestic conflict. The action had broken, missing and otherwise damaged parts. At this time, the amount and scope of work was out of my range of knowledge...

Just hearing about this now. Ferdinand was a great man and an asset to the local arts. My mom, Elena Richter, loved "Ferdy", and used and recommended him exclusively for piano work throughout the area. He and his decades of experience will be sorely missed
