My Situation: After a move, my Roland keyboard began having issues with the sound output being…read moremuffled and fuzzy. My Experience: I found DC&D through Roland's website as a certified repair shop, and I called them to see if I needed an appointment. The receptionist was very friendly and told me to bring in the keyboard whenever I was in the neighborhood. I dropped off the keyboard and described the problem to the receptionist, and she took down notes and told me she would call once the technician diagnosed the problem. Within a couple days, I received a phone call from her asking me to come in. When I returned to the store, the technician met with me and informed me of the embarrassing reason for the sound issues. Apparently through my move, the Roland power supply had been swapped with another power supply that uses the same plug but has a different voltage output. I was using the wrong power supply without my knowledge. He said that he checked things out and that no damage had been done to the circuit board. When I went to pay the receptionist, she and the technician refused my money. I explained that I felt responsible to pay them for their time diagnosing the issue, but they wouldn't accept my money. I left happy to know that honest merchants are still around, although I still wish they let me pay. Concluding Opinion: If you require the service of a piano shop, I highly recommend giving DC&D your business. We need businesses like this around, and if they were so generous and understanding with me, I can only imagine that they treat paying customers the same way. I only wish I knew more people with pianos so that I could personally help them get more business.

They convinced me to rent for a year and get that money back towards the purchase of a cello once I had a better idea of what type of sound I preferred. Even though I'm always making a fairly serious investment (a hard case, and then a cello a year later); Mark, his wife, and daughter walk me through the process and help me make the right decision. Choosing an instrument I plan to have the rest of my life is scary, but I totally trust the judgment of the Monaco family. I was never pressured to buy the more expensive model, only the one I enjoyed the sound of most. I can always count on their honest and knowledgeable advice, and anything I buy at this store is a good choice because Mark doesn't stock any poor quality products to begin with. The Monaco family has a great reputation with music teachers and musicians for a reason. I highly suggest supporting this local business.

It was badly out of tune because of a major issue with the straps that control all the hammers for the 88 keys had rotted and fallen off! There was also a crack 8n 5he sound board. The major components of the player part were in really good condition. We decided that the piano held many cherished family memories and proceeded with the repairs. It took several long 8 hour sessions along with our assistance for the job to be completed. The entire piano was taken apart to access the hammers and sound board. We left plenty of time between sessions for us to refinish all the wood while it was apart. We could not be happier with the finished results! It sounds awesome thanks to Carl and looks good too after all our hard work refinishing along with tips from Carl. He has been back twice to tune and we will hav3 him back yearly to keep the piano in shape. I highly recommend Carl for tuning, repairs and he also gives music lessons. Not only does he provide awesome service but he is a very remarkable person!
