Keith Albright is 86 years old. He has been tuning pianos since 1949. At an age when most people are slowing down, he is gaining speed and momentum to continue to support his family. The 86 year-old World War II veteran has completed well over 25 triathlons and 45 marathons to help keep him in shape enough to be able to tune 18 pianos a day! He is literally the hardest working person in America!

As a fellow piano tech, I've known Keith for many years. He is in fact nothing short of amazing and NEVER looks or seems his age.

Keith is an old friend of mine. I loved seeing this video. I think Keith should be held in highest esteem for both his example to us of personal physical fortitude, & even more as a most unique 'master of his craft.. his understanding of how and why some pianos "sing"
I've 30 yrs. in Hollywood studios doing session work, and in all my session dates I could tell in 30 seconds of playing whether or not Keith had been the tuner.
You're still the best, Keith,

Wow, Kieth Albright you are amazing! You put me to shame, I'm 36, I have been a Piano Tech for 12 years and the most pianos I ever tuned in a day was 10 and I couldn't do that again, I have a bad rotator cuff from it...also i've only run one marathon;-) Keep it up, you're so inspiring!

Kieth Albright is THE MAN when it came to piano tuning! He tuned our Studio's piano for 29 years ( Music Grinder Studios). Energetic as can be and did many Triathlon's. Always rode the bike. Keep it up Kieth! The entire World has benefitted from your piano expertise and we hear your work in music played everywhere daily!

Keith tuned the pianos at my studio and my home for over fifteen years and he would always take the time to ask about my work and my family and tell me about his as well. What an amazing guy..... Dave Pearlman "Rotund Rascal Recording"

This is incredible. I'm 40 years old and the most I can tune is two pianos in a day. This guy is awesome! I hope that when I'm 86 I'm still tuning pianos.
