Introduction

I am an expert piano tuner and technician. I love harmony and balance, and I enjoy communicating with my customers. Most important, I tune by ear, not electronically. This is a dying art, I am afraid. And It is the only proper way to tune a piano. The feeling of accomplishment when a piano is brought back to life is amazingly rewarding. By making adjustments in the tuning to room size, carpet or hardwood, and the particular customer's likes and dislikes, the soul of the piano can express itself . Aural (ear) tuning allows me to do the very best job possible, and that makes me happy. I am proud to follow in the footsteps of my father Manny Sr who was a master piano tuner and my mentor. He passed away in January 2020 and will be missed by many of the customers he had for 20-40 years. I have been a piano tuner and technician for 17 years now. I assure you that I continue to take very good care of our family run business...50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE since 1974, serving Atlanta and surrounding areas.

Manny did a wonderful job! We play our piano daily and it was in desperate need of tuning. Manny was punctual, very professional and thorough. The piano sounds once again amazing. We now have our piano tuner in Atlanta and we will not replace him.

I highly recommend Atlanta Piano Tuning. First of all, Manny was punctual for the appointment. I made the appointment with him to tune a 1917 Bachmann piano at the assisted living facility where our mom lives. He was very polite and professional to the residents and staff while working on the piano. Manny is skilled and competent tuning a piano by ear. After he completed the job, the piano sounds like new. We will definitely be calling on Manny again!

Manny is very knowledgeable and skilled in this work. Not only did he tune my piano, he took the time to explain the process. He even pointed out a couple of very cool history details with my antique piano that I would have never discovered on my own!

Manny was the perfect person for the job for our 1930's baby grand Steinway we recently inherited. It had not been taken care of in recent years and he did a proper tune up. He also had multiple high quality referrals for a deeper repair required. Thank you Manny! We'll see him every year for as long as he's in business :)

Details: Baby grand • Last piano tuning more than 2 years ago • Piano played a few times a year • More than 10 years old • Regulation • Fix sticky keys • Repair broken strings

I read up on new technologies...but honestly, tuners who tune by ear share a secret with JS Bach...If you can master that secret, then you have a successful trade for life.
