Billy Alcordo: A piano consultant’s history
Billy Alcordo is a 3rd generation piano tuner and also a piano technician. Back in the Philippines, in the city of Davao, the Alcordo family owned and operated a piano rebuilding business. His grandfather, Rogaciano Alcordo Sr., worked at Robinson’s Piano factory in Manila after the Second World War. It was there that he learned the piano servicing trade. After he gained all the knowledge he needed to open a shop of his own, he then migrated to Davao City, where he founded and also operated the family business, Alcordo & Sons.
He also teaches piano tuning lessons to anybody who is interested in becoming a piano tuner. He taught his sons, which also includes Aristides Alcordo, all his knowledge about the piano servicing business. Aristedes Alcordo was the father of Billy Alcordo.
Billy Alcordo started to learn the trade by helping out in their shop during school breaks, and also on holidays while he was still in high school. Through the mentorship and guidance of his father and grandfather, Billy certainly gained knowledge on how to tune and repair pianos.
Billy Alcordo founded Pro Piano Tuner back in 2015. And have been operating the piano service in Bangkok ever since. You can visit Pro Piano Tuner’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pianotunerbkk.
