1935 Steinway Model L
for Sale

   

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 and a lifetime of piano experience.

   
The photos on this site show just a few of the marvelous instruments Dr. Jane has found or sold for PianoSearch clients.
             
                   
                   

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 this is crucial its 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.
