2007 Finalized Development of Advanced theory for Regulation to be designed exclusively for concert highly skilled level pianists, focusing on a lighter touch with much greater speed and dynamic control and much faster repetition. This new theory has become the trademark of who Todd is as a technician and allows the pianist to be able to play much softer and even louder than previous theories permitted with a comfort level never before attained.

2013 Studied Soundboard Theory and piano design with leading World piano designer and engineer, Delwin Fandrich, RPT

2014 Developed chemical voicing techniques that finally allows the hammers to bounce away from the strings at the correct density and speed. This new art in engineering allows the strings to respond with the correct amount of partials present not previously possible through deep needling even though it's been attempted many times. The result is perfectly rounded tone that is almost never present in modern day pianos due to acid washed hammers. This technique resembles lanolin filled hammers not found since 1964.
