Louis Shriver

Louis, our head rebuilder, joins us from Premier Piano, a certified Steinway Restoration facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. At just 26 years old, he has crafted and installed over 250 soundboards, bridges, and pinblocks.

Louis grew up in Eagle Grove, Iowa and showed an interest in music at a very early age, beginning violin at 3, piano at 6, and trumpet at 8. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music - Organ Performance and Business Management from Iowa State. Shortly thereafter, he began as an apprentice at Premier Piano, eventually becoming their lead bellyman - rebuilding soundboards, bridges, and pinblocks. His expertise will help us to improve efficiency in our rebuilding and restoration facility, all while maintaining our standard of production.
