Return to overview

Since 2017, Joe Plakinger has been the manager of the Steinway & Sons Munich location, overseeing both the showroom at Maximiliansplatz and the workshop in Munich-Laim.

A Multifaceted Role

His days span selling grand pianos, planning events, and cultivating relationships with artists. One day each week he visits the workshop — where three apprentices are currently training — to keep expanding his knowledge of piano craftsmanship.

Extremely likeable and passionate about the instrument, Plakinger has not regretted his decision to take the job for a single second.
