Autobiography 自传

My music teacher mother sent me to a Chinese piano factory as an apprentice when I was 17. 我的音乐老师母亲在我17岁时把我送到一家中国钢琴厂当学徒。

I studied under Jin Xianbin, a master of piano tuning in China, and Liu Shikun, a famous pianist. After coming to the United States, I received training from the Steinway & Sons factory in New York and related institutions, and mastered the standards of a piano technician. 我师从中国钢琴调律大师金先彬老师和著名钢琴家刘诗昆先生，来到美国先后接受纽约施坦威工厂及其相关培训，掌握了钢琴技师的标准。

I was deeply influenced by Ron Conners, the chief concert technician at the Steinway piano factory in New York, who was known for his expertise in handling the “mechanical structure” of pianos and his extremely meticulous “tone adjustment.”我深受纽约施坦威钢琴厂首席音乐会技师罗恩·康纳斯的影响，他以精湛的钢琴“机械结构”处理技术和极其细致的“音色调整”而闻名。

Having studied under several senior Steinway technicians in the United States, and possessing a set of highly skilled techniques for assembling piano actions and keyboards developed through years of practice, he can handle various piano conditions and tuning tasks with ease and proficiency…在美国拜师多位施坦威高级技师，加上早年双手练就的一套机芯键盘装配技术硬功夫，处理各种情况下的钢琴状况及调音一气呵成、游刃有余……

Tuning for concerts in China often involves time constraints and strict audio quality requirements. The most important aspect is achieving perfect quality and verifying the performance results in the shortest possible time.其中国内各场音乐会调音，常常是有时间限制和绝对的标准音频要求的，最重要的是要在最短的时间内达到完美的质量要求和演出效果的验证。

As an experienced piano teacher who has tutored many students preparing for the Shanghai music examinations, I understand complex musical harmony and intonation theories. I am deeply familiar with the frustrations that piano teachers and students face regarding inaccurate intonation and unpleasant tone quality, and I have spent many years working on techniques for adjusting and improving tone quality…我也是多年的钢琴教师辅导过许多上海考级的学生，懂得复杂的音乐和声及律学理论，深黯钢琴老师及琴童对于音律不准及音色不悦的烦扰，其中演绎音色的调整多年……

Retired and now living in Long Beach, Long Island, I’m still passionate about piano tuning and would like to offer my services to more piano enthusiasts. (New York Piano Tuner Yinan)退休移居纽约长岛Long Beach海滩，闲暇技痒愿为更多琴友提供优质服务。纽约调音师yinan
