Buying a Piano

Looking for a Used Piano?

Condition is the Key to Value

Hundreds of manufacturers produced thousands of models and styles of pianos over the last 100 years. With countless used pianos to choose from, how can you find the instrument that meets your needs and expectations?

 


Peace of Mind for Only $75

Call me to discuss your needs or fill in the form on my "Contact Us" page. If you have looked at a specific piano, schedule us for a $75.00 evaluation. I'll conduct a thorough assessment of the piano's structural and mechanical health and provide you with a 20-point written summary that covers:


  • the piano's age
  • current condition
  • estimated value "as is"
  • repairs needed for the piano to meet your expectations
  • anticipated future maintenance costs
  • estimated value after making necessary repairs

 

This small investment can help you avoid throwing away hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a piano that is being advertised as "only needs tuning".

 

The following are real-life examples of what we have discovered in the areas of pianos that most people never check before making their decision to buy.

We discovered this massive mouse nest while performing the first tuning after the buyer had moved the piano into his home.
