경양식집에서｜Travels of old-school Western cuisine by a mixologist

Piano tuning for 28 years, old-school Western food tour for 28 years. A piano tuner travels all over the country, just to find Western food treasures hidden in the streets and alleys.

The piano tuner, 조영권, has been tuning pianos for over 28 years. He travels all over Korea whenever he receives a request to tune a piano. The pianos he works on will have a clear and gentle sound after they originally sounded harsh.

Tuning a piano is a job that combines technique, feeling and experience. 조영권 uses his hands to repair instruments and invisible sounds. After each tuning job, he takes out a small notebook. The notebook is densely filled with notes: some are place names like "Montmartre" and "Marronnier", and some are even singer names like "Sting", which looks like a treasure map.

Following his notebook, he will embark on the next journey of the day to fill his stomach. Yes, he is an incurable lover of "old-school Western food (경양식)". Even if it is a small country town that cannot be found on the Internet, he will make a special trip to visit it. After tuning the piano, he always has to eat at a local Western restaurant. This habit has been maintained for 28 years.
