Piano Matchmaker LLC is the premier resource for matching the perfect piano to a client's passion, personality and lifestyle.

Erica vanderLinde Feidner has become widely known as "The Piano Matchmaker™" - and for good reason.  Over and over again she has shown a remarkable gift for bringing together a client and the piano he or she is meant to own. Erica has sold about $46 million worth of pianos, and has successfully matched more than 1,000 pianos with clients - one client at a time.

“It is not unusual for Feidner’s customers to describe her as a force of nature.”

~ James B. Stewart, The New Yorker

	Are all pianos the same, if the make and size are the same?
	The fascinating truth is that each piano has a unique soul, just like the person who sits down to play it. Characteristics can range from shy and subtle to fiery and aggressive. Even when the Make, Size, Style, Finish, Age, Design, Construction, Parts, Craftspeople, Suppliers, Manufacturing Process, and Price are identical, each piano will still sound and feel distinct.

“Pianos are made primarily of organic materials which dictate each piano’s DNA,” says Erica.

	How can one possibly navigate through this complicated maze and choose the perfect piano?
	With the assistance of The Piano Matchmaker™, this seemingly daunting process is magically transformed into an educational and joyful adventure.

Erica’s gift – the ability to find the piano that is the perfect match to a person’s passion, personality and lifestyle - has generated unprecedented press, and her entrepreneurial spirit has led to many outstanding achievements.
