Ierna Piano Tuning is a family owned business since 1952. The Ierna’s are 3 generations of piano tuning excellence. Although Wild Bill has passed and Joe Ierna has retired, we carry on training the next generation 11 year old Dominic Ierna. There are currently 2 generations of piano technicians actively tuning providing uncompromising piano services in Pinellas and Hillsborough.
In 1952 "Wild Bill" Ierna began apprenticing in New York to become a Piano Technician. After about 8 years of mastering his technique he and his family moved to Florida and he began servicing pianos in the Tampa Bay area. He was a founding member of the Tampa Bay area Piano Technicians Guild and helped to lay the foundation for many future Piano Tuners. Not long after his brother, Joe Ierna, saw how successful Bill had become and began apprenticing as well. Being raised around piano work Bill's son, Frank Ierna, began apprenticing in the 1970's and since has become one of the most successful piano technicians in the area doing a great deal of rebuilding and restoring. It was only natural that in 2000 Frank's son, Frank Ierna or Junior, began his apprenticeship and is now servicing pianos in three counties with the Ierna standard of quality.
All of the Ierna's are musicians of numerous different instruments between them. Having toured and performed at venues in different bands of different genres in their past. But there are two things that always brings them together, their careers as Piano Technicians and above all else family.
