Piano Matchmaking
Erica’s Gift
Is it magic? How does Erica understand and translate the rhythm of her clients’ lives so quickly and so clearly, and find the piano that is the musical equivalent of their soul mate?
The powerful connection that Erica forges between a person and their piano has an element of genius. Having grown up in a home with 26 pianos, Erica always understood that every piano, like every person, possesses different traits. Trained as both a pianist and a teacher, Erica is able to speak the language of a master musician and also understand the needs of someone who wants to fulfill a desire to play. The key is for Erica to find the right match between player and piano.
For Erica, having the customer understand this new world of personality differences between pianos, a world that she can successfully describe and demonstrate to any client, is one of the most gratifying and fulfilling aspects of her life.
Every piano has a unique soul, just like the person who sits down to play it. While the mechanics and structure of a certain piano make, size, style, age, and price may be the same, there is an endless number of variables that account for how each piano will sound and feel. For that reason, Erica never pre-judges a piano until she sits down and plays a specific piano. Until then, is personality remains an unknown.
Uncompromising Standards
Driven by uncompromising standards, it is not unusual for Erica to send a customer home without having purchased a piano because she knows that in some cases the piano that a client is meant to own has not yet been born. Each piano that Erica meets that measures up to her standards goes into her mental memory bank, ready to be paired with a client whose needs are perfectly matched to the traits of the piano she knows will fit.
When Erica finds the piano for the client who has been waiting for her to complete the search on their behalf, she enthusiastically contacts them. When the client concurs that the fit is just right, then, and only then, is a true match made.

The piano business is not a regulated business. With 30 years of experience, Erica knows the ins and out of the piano business and her impeccable standards do not allow for compromise of any sort during the selection process.
When walking into a showroom filled with top-tier pianos, it seems easy to fall in love many time overs. Yet it is easy to select a piano that is not your match. Erica will assist you in assuring the piano you choose will meet your need on every level at that moment in time and, equally important, for decades to come.
Erica’s uncanny talent for “meeting” a piano and knowing “who it is” instantly, in tandem with her sixth sense when meeting people, pairs the two together and gives each of her client the confidence they need.
How Soon Will Erica Find My Piano?
Sometimes, the Piano Matchmaker can find your piano the first day out. As she travels and visits showrooms housing the finest pianos in the world, Erica gets to know the personality of literally hundreds of pianos of all top tier makes, thereby building her mental inventory of superb pianos, and their whereabouts.
It may also be possible that the piano you are meant to own is not yet born. In this case, the search will continue as Erica meets new pianos just coming on the market.
Given the uncompromising philosophy that drives Erica, the process is about finding your match in whatever timeframe it may take.
