Michael Morvan: the Key Expert
Mike Morvan has produced solutions to such challenges as unusable balance holes, over-sanded keys, and keys ravaged by amateur repairs. To the expected list of key services he adds such specialty extras as leather key bushings and custom buttons. He is a master of the Bridgeport milling machine and inventor of a host of key-related jigs that produce best results. He also is heir to Frank Stopa's Pratt-Read jigs, fixtures, and mentoring and now has added a CNC router to the company tool kit.
After a series of piano-related apprenticeships, including several years working in Chris Brown's shop, Mike decided he wanted to apply his skills to key covering. Establishing Blackstone Valley Piano allowed Mike to concentrate on everything to do with keys. This involved acquiring tooling and machinery, researching best methods and materials, round on round of jig-making, and long hours and years of accumulating the skills and the clientelle to make Blackstone Valley Piano successful.
Blackstone Valley Piano is located in Uxbridge, MA.
