Our piano tuning business started in May of 1974. Dean Kramer, the owner, apprenticed for one and a half years at the Ostrander Piano Shop in Dillsburg, PA. By the fall of 1974, we were advertising and building up a clientele base for piano tuning. In March of 1977, the business was expanded to become a retail store for used pianos. Our first two stores were in Union Bridge, MD, in buildings which were rented. In November of 1978 our current building was purchased in New Midway, MD. In 1985, we started selling new pianos along with the used pianos. In 1984, we expanded our store to include piano lessons. Then in 1990 we expanded Kramer?s Piano Shop to include music book inventory. We currently stock 8,500 piano and guitar books. 2007 marked the start of our ?Music Gift Boutique.? We are a family-owned and operated business. Dean started the business as a seventeen year old piano tuner. Lois Kramer, Dean?s wife, has worked alongside him for thirty-five years.
