About
Grant Larcom came to tuning the way most technicians do, by needing a better instrument than the one in the room. Years later the three parts of the work are inseparable: the ear that finds a beat in a unison is the same ear that shapes a pad under a vocal, and the same impatience that fixes an action ends up writing the software.
He plays keys on stage and on sessions, regulates actions and voices hammers as a technician, and builds: piano.wiki began as the answers he kept repeating, Savvy Pianist grew out of teaching adults told they'd started too late, MidiRoll came from wanting to see a performance rather than describe it, and Vivace is where the rest of the software goes. ResonatePiano.org is the part that isn't a business.
Available for session and touring keys, in-region tunings, and a small number of consults and build collaborations each month.
