Piano sales manager and store co-owner Keith Heckman will end his nearly four-decade tenure, retiring June 6, 2015 at Dietze Music in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The retail veteran started out repairing orchestral instruments at the store in the ‘70s while in college and later joined partner Robert Fenton who incorporated the company in the ‘50s after the founder August Dietze established the full-line music store in 1927 in the capital city. The company increased from a single storefront in the ‘90s to four locations in eastern Nebraska. Keith looks forward to spending more time with his grandchildren.

The store chain is currently owned by Tim Pratt (president), and Ted Eschliman.
