Alex Merlo - Manager

Hi, my name is Alex Merlo and I’m the Regional/ Institutional sales manager for the Atlanta area. I have been in sales all my adult life ranging from health and fitness to real estate and now currently the piano business. I started selling pianos for a local Steinway dealer in 2014 but have definitely found my home here at Piano Distributors. I love helping people find the right piano for their situations and goals. Whether you’re an accomplished player, aspiring artist, educator or a beginner, I honestly believe that we have the right piano to make you happy and fit your budget. My goal is to treat each customer as if you were my mom or dad. I promise to help you, educate you, guide you, inspire you and hopefully make you laugh en route to a stress free purchase. Music is by far my biggest passion and I would like to share that passion with you. I also am a singer/ songwriter and have had multiple songs placed in different independent film projects here in Atlanta. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to start your journey into finding your next piano! Sincerely yours, Alex.

I love the music world, the world of Pianos, of music Stores, and the new internet world of music, but most of all, I love music people. The musician, the teacher, the salesperson, the company owner, and music companies like Yamaha that keep this incredible world that I love alive. I want more than anything else to help the next generation of music people discover this wonderful world of music.
