Manuel Kiefer entered the prestigious three and a half year apprentice program at the Bösendorfer manufacture in Wr. Neustadt at 15, where he developed into a craftsman in the art & science of piano building. He proudly completed his apprenticeship with a diploma in March 2006, finishing best in class, which facilitated a post graduate at Bösendorfer New York to perfect his skills as piano & concert technician in the field, under supervision and guidance of Gerhard Feldmann.

Mr. Kiefer, who has played the piano since age 6, considers working with pianos his greatest passion from the day he first embarked on mastering this craftsmanship.
