About Klavierhaus Mohr
Klavierhaus Mohr is a piano-making workshop (sole proprietorship) in Bremerhaven run by Frank Mohr. The range of services includes piano and grand piano tuning, work on the action and keyboard, tonal adjustments (voicing) as well as purchase advice and on-site appraisal of instruments at the customer's premises. In the company's own specialized workshop at Zollinlandstraße 42 in Bremerhaven-Lehe, complete overhauls of historical instruments, repairs to the acoustic assembly, action and keyboard, restringing and soundboard restoration are carried out; in addition, the business offers veneer work, lacquering and polishing. Alongside its services, new and fully overhauled pianos and grand pianos are sold, with viewing and trial-playing appointments arranged by telephone. Frank Mohr completed his training as a piano maker at Steinway & Sons in Hamburg and subsequently worked, among other things, as a piano and concert tuner at Yamaha. All work is carried out personally by the owner in the company's own specialized workshop.
