Meet Barry…
Barry Caradine learned much of his craft at the Bösendorfer factory in Vienna. He has served the world’s greatest concert pianists whilst working as Bösendorfer’s Concert Technician.
Barry set up Caradine Piano Restoration with Roberta in 1996 where they work together on restoration projects. Barry’s expertise in all areas of piano work is unique and he continues to travel extensively servicing pianos throughout the UK and beyond.
Barry is the longest serving Examiner in the Pianoforte Tuners’ Association and has taught extensively on piano related subjects. He was made Honorary Life Member in 2013 and was President from 2017 to 2026.
Meet Roberta…
Like Barry, Roberta Caradine trained at the London College of Furniture, and much of her formative experience was gained working for Essex’s largest piano and music shop. She combines strong customer service qualities with technical acumen.
Roberta provides a specialised tuning service within Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. When she is not tuning she can be found working in all areas of the workshop assisting Barry up to first regulation. She was President of the Pianoforte Tuners’ Association from 1999 to 2004 and was made Honorary Life member in 2013.
