Mr. N. Troth was born in Luanshya, Northern Rhodesia ( Zambia ), in 1953 I went to school in South Africa until 1969, when I came to Britain with my parents who both came originally from Birmingham.

In 1976, I started training as a piano tuner/technician at the Royal National College for the Blind in Hereford. Whilst attending the College, I came third in a national piano tuning competition with the result that when I qualified with Honours in June of 1980, I was offered a contract with Sandwell Education to service the pianos in 90 of their schools.

I now do a mixture of domestic, school and concert work. The National Exhibition Centre gives me a steady amount of work tuning the grand pianos for the big concerts such as Elton John, Shirley Bassey and Michael Crawford which I find very interesting.
