Consumer Advocate for Piano Buyers and Sellers Our
mission is to find your dream piano: |

|
Pianos are almost as unique as people. Piano shopping is not like buying a TV or digital camera, where one can search for the very lowest price in a certain model or size.
Choose your piano with the help of an expert, Jane Brockman, who holds a doctorate in music from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a lifetime of piano experience. |

The ca. 12,000 parts in a piano result in instruments which vary tremendously--even mass produced pianos will vary in sound quality. Rebuilding a piano requires old-country craftsmanship which is rarely found today. Yet this workmanship determines the response and pleasure a piano will deliver. And it is crucial to investment value. If you've been to the piano stores or seen technicians' rebuilds, you know how hard it is. And
beyond a certain level of basic knowledge (see article:
"How to Buy a Piano"), most people simply can't become an expert
on the most complex machine in existence still made largely by hand.
