Behind Duane Funderburk and his wife’s Altadena house, past the french doors and through the trees, stood a studio they had built themselves. It was a haven where Funderburk often played his grand piano, a Yamaha he bought in 1982.
“It had the most incredibly strong lower end – the bass notes of that piano were phenomenal,” said Funderburk, an artist-in-residence at Lake Avenue church in Pasadena.
