About James

James Romig has been involved in instrument repair since 2014. He began with string orchestra instruments, and added piano tuning, repair, and maintenance in 2019. Romig received his certification in Piano Technology from the University of Houston. He also serves as a concert technician at the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts, and will be serving at the Aspen Music Festival this summer. Romig is the instructor of piano technology at Marshall High School in Fort Bend Independent School District. This program teaches high school students the art of piano tuning, repair, maintenance, entrepeneurship, and is the first of its kind in the world. Romig maintains over 300 pianos in Fort Bend ISD, the instruments for Garza Studios, his loyal customers, and his home piano of course. Romig is a member in good standing with the local PTG (Piano Technicians Guild) chapter.

I believe that the key to producing accomplished piano technicians is equipping them to be creative problem solvers. Out in the field of piano repair, there are multiple issues that may arise, and the ability to think for oneself and problem solve is paramount above all else. I empower my students to discover the piano in all facets, and provide guidance in bringing out its full potential.
