Jerry Binder Obituary, Beloved Founder PianoPiano Has Died

Jerry Binder was more than just a piano enthusiast; he was a bona fide piano expert whose journey in the piano business began at a young age. His passion for pianos and organs was nurtured in his father’s shop in New Jersey, where he assisted in selling these musical treasures. This early exposure laid the foundation for a lifelong dedication to the world of music.

In 1952, Jerry’s life took a new turn when he was drafted into the Army. However, his entrepreneurial spirit could not be dampened, and upon his return, he established his own store in New Jersey. His dedication and expertise quickly propelled him to the top, making his store the #1 Hammond Organ dealer in the United States.

Throughout the years, Jerry Binder achieved remarkable success in the piano industry, becoming the top dealer for nearly every piano brand. In 1975, he made a significant mark by establishing PianoPiano in Manhattan, where his passion for pianos and his commitment to excellence continued to shine.

As we reflect on Jerry’s life and the indelible mark he left on the piano world, we also offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and his daughter, Sarah. Their loss is immeasurable, and our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.

Jerry Binder’s life was guided by a profound philosophy that he often shared with those around him: “Make hay while the sun shines.” This saying encapsulates his approach to life, reflecting his resilience and his determination to seize every opportunity.

While Jerry may no longer be with us in person, his legacy lives on in the beautiful music created on the pianos he loved so dearly. His passion, expertise, and dedication to the world of pianos will continue to inspire and resonate with generations to come.

In remembrance of Jerry Binder, we express our gratitude for the profound impact he had on the piano industry, and we are privileged to have shared in his love for music. May he rest in eternal peace, and may his family find solace in the beautiful memories they shared with him.
