Home sweet home. I am just back !
FOUR LONG YEARS have past since my last trip to Europe. Yet after all the events, catching up with relatives, i had the opportunity to dust away my German language skill to meet my friendly colleagues of the BDK in the annual meeting in Rostock this year.
Coming through Saxony, I had the compliment to visit the piano firm August Förster in Löbau. #augustförster in the center of that lovely city, the family business piano maker has kept the historical building where piano has been produced since the 19th century.
Long tradition piano maker, I could witness the dedicated craftmanshift making pianos by hand, and by so the instrument being made in Germany in the pur tradition of heritage piano manufacturer.
Until you travel to witness Saxony beauty, you can find August Förster pianos displayed in House of Pianos in South Melbourne. If you have any questions about them, I am happy to testify myself as piano technician and factory worker of their quality and of their German thruthfullness.

I have an old Förster that I would like to learn more about. Do you think you could help me?

Top quality product, broadly used in homes, schools and concert halls.

After more than 20 years as a piano technician, I am glad today to distribute adsilent’s latest retrofitted systems, in my opinion the best in the market. User friendly, and efficient for enjoyable daily usage!
Play whenever you like, day or night for yourself or for your audience without worrying about the noise.
You own an upright or a grand piano? Wish to play outside convenient hours? Difficulties to play anytime of the day are multiple. Neighbourhood? Infant sleeping? This is no longer an issue with adsilent which mutes your lovely piano on demand and instead plays through a headphone, at the flick of a switch 24/7!
Its intuitive display and classic design is compatible with 99% of acoustic pianos in the market. Resilience and quality made in Germany. The system is also used in new reputable European made pianos.
The adsilent sound samples are the best in the market, as good as on stage. And it is so easy to use!
The adsilent is Bluetooth enabled. Simply connect your phone using the free app, and in a slide select the instrument you want to play… piano, vibraphone or even church organ! You can practice with the metronome by choosing the rhythm on the screen, transpose and also record tunes to share with your music enthusiast friends! It comes with 2 headphone jack entries, so educators can also teach in silence!
Seniors living in retirement villages love the adsilent; it is so easy to use! Just flick the lever and switch on, the piano is ready to be played, even in the quiet hours!
The professional pianists are also equipped with adsilent their grand pianos. Unlike its competitors, the exclusive set of bars allows the silencer system to operate, without compromising the quality of the touch.

Welcome to my website, my name is Vincent Tarin, and I am a French/Australian piano tuner in Melbourne. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I started as an apprentice in 3 different stores in France over 4 years, and graduated from The Itemm Academy, Le Mans as a fully certified piano tuner. I then immigrated to Ireland where I was a full time technician for 5 years. Then I move to Germany and worked for a piano factory, as a certified concert piano technician.
My journey lead me interestingly back to my old school, as a teacher this time, and to Germany to see growth of the industry. In a nutshell, I am experienced in workshop, clientel service, concert and factory work.
I have developed over the years contacts with piano part suppliers, manufacturers and piano technicians in Europe and throughout the world. I am currently a member of the BDK, which is the German Piano technician guild. I chose the German guild because their members are, in my opinion, the most representative of the piano industries, which are in good number based in Germany.
Beside my native tongue French, I can of course speak English, German, and have some understanding of Spanish and Russian. My travels have allowed me to bring techniques, products and ideas to the benefit of the Australian public, which I am pleased to serve.

“Thankful for such painstaking attention to detail from Vincent, I have been pleased to recommend him to many of my students, colleagues and friends, all of whom have been satisfied thoroughly with his service.“
Just as one needs to maintain a car or a place of residence, one should take at least the same care to maintain a musical instrument. As a professional performer and piano teacher whose piano receives a lot of use, it’s essential that my instrument is kept in the best possible condition, so I make sure that I engage a prestige technician.
For some years now, Vincent Tarin (www.pianofellow.com) has provided me with excellent tuning, maintenance and repair/restoration service. Trained in Europe, Vincent is a member of the Piano Technicians’ Association of Germany (BDK) and is passionate about continuing his ongoing professional development both in Australia and in Europe, thus he’s fully aware of latest developments and approaches, as well as of the time-honoured traditions.
If and when major work is required on my piano, Vincent confers with me in detail, ensuring that I’m aware of the pros and cons of various courses of action.
Thankful for such painstaking attention to detail from Vincent, I have been pleased to recommend him to many of my students, colleagues and friends, all of whom have been satisfied thoroughly with his service. Equally, I and my partners in the Team of Pianists (www.teamofpianists.com.au) appreciate Vincent’s top-class service, by way of his preparation and maintenance of the instruments used in our public recitals and educational events.
