Piano Broker
As a Piano Broker I have been educating and saving clients money on pianos for over 40 years now. Combining the knowledge of a musician, tuner/technician, and former piano salesman and Piano Retail Store Manager, I feel I am uniquely qualified to help you find your dream piano. I work for you, not the dealer, not the manufacturer, not the salesman. When bargaining for a piano you’re playing the dealer’s game on the dealer’s court. Your only defense: prepare yourself. Decide in advance which piano, which model, which options. Go into the dealership armed with knowledge. Learn what the piano costs. In a phrase, it’s what I call the data edge. Information gives you a massive competitive edge.
Selling your Piano
Need to sell your piano? I will help you list your piano to ensure you get top dollar. I can assist you in either negotiating a consignment agreement with a local piano dealer or in actually selling the instrument myself.
Education is the most important factor in making an intelligent Piano purchase. I educate you in 6 different aspects of the piano: Tone, Touch or action, Tuning stability, Life – Warranty, dealer service, Beauty – Wood grain vs. high-polished, carved leg vs. traditional and Value – Steinways and other quality pianos appreciate between 5-9% per year.
Consultation
After arming you with information you will feel confident to do battle in the Piano World. Go out and see, feel, and touch, and play the pianos. Then call me and together we will evaluate the pros and cons of what you saw and heard in order to determine the best piano for your individual needs.
Negotiation
Once we’ve narrowed down your choices to 2 or 3 brands we then search for the best price. Knowing the cost of each piano, I guarantee I will save you money! I am also willing to accompany you to the piano store to assist as the point of sale if you would like me to.
Because I want to be your one stop source for pianos I have listed all the manufacturers and their respective models for your perusal. (If you don’t see a brand in this list, ask me!) Among the piano brands we’ll save you money on are:
BOSTON, CHICKERING, ESSEX, KAWAI, MASON & HAMLIN, PEARL RIVER, SAMICK, STEINWAY, YAMAHA, YOUNG CHANG, Other brands – Contact us!
