The result is a comfortable and classic Manhattan location where the world's best pianos are on display. It's a place where you will feel comfortable comparing traditionally handcrafted American pianos with the highly technically advanced Yamaha pianos, in a range of sizes to meet every need. The staff at 57th Street includes, among others, highly sought-after Russian piano technician Alex Appel, who meticulously prepares pianos on the sales floor. The store manager is Diane Villaflor, a former professional pianist with a master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music, who uses her technical expertise to help guide customers in selecting the perfect instrument for their needs. Now headquartered in Melville, L.I., the company offers fine acoustic and electronic instruments at each of its nine metropolitan area locations.
