Atlanta Piano Tuning by Ear - Ask for Manny

My father EMANUEL LOIACONO SR knew and worked with Franz Mohr. My father was trained at the Steinway piano factory in Astoria NY. That secret sauce for how to tune a piano by ear was handed down to me, by my dad. My father tuned for Arthur Rubenstein, who would only play on a Steinway tuned by my father I feel a kinship to Mr. Mohr, even though I never met him. We are a small group of elite piano tuners and techicians, and the art is being passed on less and less because there are fewer and fewer factories where tuners can be trained. I am honored to be a part of this community.

How is a piano like a car???? To maintain your car, the oil should be changed periodically. If not, your car will stop running, or run poorly. To maintain your piano, the piano should be tuned either once or twice a year. If not, the piano will play poorly...unisons will not match. The piano has wooden parts which expand and contract with changes in temperature. This expansion and contraction effects the strings and pin block, the sound board and the bridge. As your piano tuner, I not only TUNE your piano but check all of its parts to prevent a major problem from occurring. How is your piano like a car? Your car needs a good, reliable, experienced, honest mechanic. So does your piano:)
