From this passion, Southern Pneumatic Restorations was born. His other passions are playing many musical insturments such as banjo, fiddle, guitar, and dulcimer.

Jeremy Buckles has been working with Phillip since the spring of 2006 and is constantly growing in the knowledge of player pianos.  He and Phillip play in a band called String Theory in which Jeremy plays piano and backup instrumentation.
