This is the place to go in the DMV if you're looking for a new Yamaha piano…read more We were first-time piano buyers looking for a new U1. From what I read online, most piano dealers will quote an MSRP or "SMP (suggested maximum price)" with the expectation that you will haggle down the price. We went to our local Yamaha dealer [not Downtown Piano Works] and met with a sales associate recommended by our piano teacher. His first offer was already less than MSRP: I'm terrible at haggling, but I figured I'd try anyway and ask for a better price. A day later, he came back with another $500 off the price. I was feeling pretty good about myself and was getting ready to go to the store before his "offer expired." On a whim, minutes before I left, I thought I'd try the next closest Yamaha dealer, which happened to be Downtown Piano Works. I typed a chat message into their website, expecting a canned AI answer. Instead, Dan, the owner, responded right away. He told me to call him on his cell phone, and without hearing the other store's "lowest" price, he quoted a price that was $1500 less. There was no haggling, no wondering if I was getting a worse deal than everyone else on the internet. We drove with the kids an hour to Frederick just to make sure this wasn't too good to be true, and it wasn't. Dan and Theresa opened their store on a Saturday night, three hours after I'd first messaged their website. By the time we left, we were the owners of a new Yamaha U1. If you're in the market for a new Yamaha acoustic piano, within driving distance of Frederick, and want to avoid the usual stress of new piano shopping, I'd definitely try clicking chat on their website.

William was scheduled to tune the piano. He told me it was not yet ready for a tuning and…read morerescheduled that piece for October. Believe the care given and attention to climate control throughout the year in this house kept the piano in tune. William and I spoke of the concerns and issues with an 84 year old instrument and asked a variety of questions as to touch, key response, etc. After further discussion we decided to use this time to address those issues. His attention to detail, willingness to answer all questions, and good work made a noticeable improvement in key response/touch. I couldn't be happier with this young man's good work.

I had an amazing experience with Johnson's piano moving. I played for 18 years and gave it up after…read morecollege and have been wanting to get back into playing for years now. Johnson's has a warehouse with a few used pianos in varying conditions at an extremely affordable price with moving fees included! They allowed me to come and play the pianos and pick one to purchase and it was delivered 5 days later. The move was seamless, the crew called to give me a 30 min heads up and they were on time, professional, friendly, and got the piano up 2 flights of stairs in perfect condition in less than an hour. It has brought me so much joy to reclaim a childhood hobby at a truly affordable price and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity. Thank you Johnson!!!
