About Pianoverse Studio


Welcome to Pianoverse Studio, where we craft treasures for the piano lover. Our creations resonate with those who find solace, inspiration, and beauty in the timeless instrument. Whether you play, admire, or simply savor the piano's aesthetic, our piano-inspired jewelry and artwork harmonizes with your fashion style or your home / office decor.

Amidst a sea of oftentimes cheesy mass-produced piano jewelry and art, we understand the desire for designs that gracefully echo the essence of piano. With unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and quality, we promise a blend of elegance and sophistication. Welcome to a world where your love for the piano finds its perfect reflection.

Please note that Pianoverse Studio has transitioned into a private artist studio. You can enjoy our collections from the comfort of your own home as we've shifted exclusively to online viewing and don't accommodate walk-in visits.

ABOUT THE FAMILY

In the bustling heart of Jackson Heights, where the symphony of diverse cultures intertwine, there lies a family tale of resilience and reinvention. Before we became Pianoverse Studio, many may remember us as “PianoVerse, a place to play, learn, and love piano.” Since 2010, PianoVerse has been a sanctuary for musical exploration, private piano lessons, and free piano recitals for our community.

But then, in February 2020, our world in New York shifted. The pandemic swept across the globe, forcing us into lockdown and shattering our familiar rhythm. Uncertainty hung heavy in the air, touching the lives of many, including our own.

Yet, amidst that uncertainty, our family's legacy gave us strength because our story has been woven with the threads of art, music, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship.

1970s

Our family’s legacy began with our maternal grandparents, who brought their piano studio from Hong Kong to Jackson Heights, Queens in the 1970s. Our grandfather, Kwok Nam Law, crafted pianos and other instruments with dedicated passion. Alongside him, our grandmother, Un Oi Law, embodied an entrepreneurial spirit that relentlessly charged through any adversity and hardship.

1980s & 1990s

In the 1980s, our uncle Horatio Law continued to evolve that legacy, exploring new avenues to engage with the Jackson Heights community through piano and art. And when the tide of change swept through again, our mother, Michelle Ng, embraced her entrepreneurial spirit, transforming the piano studio into a company offering mortgage services in the 1990s.

2000s & 2010s

Yet, as fate would have it, change was on the horizon again. In 2009, our grandmother's illness cast a shadow over our family. In her honor, our mother made a promise—a promise to carry on the legacy of piano, artistry, and entrepreneurship. And so, in 2010, we, her daughters—Cynthia, Melissa, Fiona—answered the call, creating PianoVerse as a testament to our family's enduring spirit and our shared love for inspiring others through art and music.

2020s

But as 2020 dawned, a new chapter beckoned. We closed our doors during the pandemic lockdowns, pausing to reflect on our journey and the path ahead. It was time to evolve, to merge our individual artistic practices with our family's rich heritage. Inspired by our family’s history in our formative years, we brought up our own artistic visions and values in the hopes of continuing to weave new stories into the family’s story. 

Thus, Pianoverse Studio emerged—where treasures for the piano lover are crafted. Though our name and services may have changed, our essence remains the same. We welcome you in this journey filled with love for piano, music, art, and creativity.
