FAMILY OWNED FOR OVER 46 YEARS
This is how we started...
The Piano Man was established in Brevard County Florida in 1976. The Piano Man by Billy Joel came out in 1976. Lawrence changed the name of the business to honor one of his favorite artists. He also named his son Joel Klar. Lawrence had a music store and rebuilding shop open to the public in Cocoa Village Florida. Later, he built a rebuilding shop behind his home and continued to provide service to Brevard County for many years.
Lawrence & Joel Klar
The original father and son duo for The Piano Man LLC
Five back surgeries and several health problems later, Lawrence slowed down and allowed his son, Joel Klar, to expand and renew the business in Brevard County.
With two generations of knowledge and passion for pianos we provide all services from basic tunings all the way to full scale re-designed restorations, allowing much clearer and smoother transitions with a much larger sound out of earlier pianos.
Joel started The Piano Man, LLC in Millbrook AL after building a rebuild shop of his own. Joel became deeply involved with the Piano Technician’s Guild and involve himself in a deep study of the soundboard re-design components.
Today, The Piano Man services the entire state of Florida. Our end goal is to provide a reliable company that will continue to grow and expand throughout the Southeast, ensuring that the pianos are not just tuned, but also maintained. We want to encourage all pianists to continue to practice.
We can achieve this by doing our part to make pianos operate and sound like they are designed. This gives the pianist the ultimate experience in touch, tone, and quality craftsmanship. Our heart in providing these skills is to produce results that will help share artists’ emotions through sound.
