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.

I had Manny come to tune our roughly 31-year-old piano which probably hadn't been tuned in 18 years. He was communicative about his arrival time and FAST! He did a 1.5 tune in about an hour, maybe less (tuned once and then did a second tuning on the base half of the piano). We will call on him again to tune each year. Great service and pricing.

Manny was awesome. He communicated in advance to let me know exactly when he would arrive. He was very pleasant and did a great job. He happily answered any questions I had about pianos and how he tunes. He gave me confidence he knew what he was doing. I highly recommend Manny.

The Atlanta Piano Tuning tech was very professional and did a GREAT job! He took the time to explain not only what he was doing, but also why. I also thought that the price was very reasonable, and made our piano sound better that it has - ever! I highly recommend this service and I intend to have him come back every six months to keep the piano in tune.

It took me a long time to really call someone to tune my piano, because it's old, rusty and beaten up by my now all grown up nephew and nieces, and the more I see the beautiful pianos on display in the ads the more I'm embarrassed to call someone who can tune it. But finally, the desire to have fun in playing the piano and to avoid bothersome out of tune sounds gave way so I called. And to my surprise! It still sounds good. Manny the piano tuner, and their staff who I spoke with on the phone are very nice! Manny didn't just patiently and gently tune the piano(I can imagine it's so old and rusty strings will brake when he begins to turn the tuning pins) , he did extra work on it like fixed the broken string, adjusted the hammers and some keys that seems to stick down, but the 'cherry on the top', is when he finally test it by playing a chord, what a beautiful sound! I was so impressed! I would definitely keep their number for myself but also will recommend them to others.

Manny was great! His talent to tune our piano by ear is truly amazing! We so appreciated his playing some classical music after the tuning to put that “wow” smile on your our faces!
