We then worked out a convenient delivery date and the removal of my old acoustic upright. The delivery guys were great, clean and efficient. Post-sale, I had a mishap with the headphones provided and Michael replaced immediately without question. If you're in the market for a piano, I'd recommend M. Steinert and Sons and grabbing Michael for assistance.

And I received a few bonus gifts as well! I don't think you could find better service anywhere! Annie J. ( My daughters purchased pianos on Amazon.

I eventually landed on the CLP725, and on the same day I purchased the digital piano, he assembled my digital piano in my apartment at no extra cost. I am pleased with my purchase and its very competitive price, and I recommend anyone in search of a Yamaha piano to this piano shop.

I brought my own strings and the guy had no clue how to fix the instrument and wasted my time trying to. He then suggested I should learn guitar and wanted me to sign up for guitar lessons. No thanks, I'm good. He then rips out his guitar and starts playing "guess what song I'm playing" and when he forgets the lyrics, I supply them. What the fuck am I doing here? Did I sign up for an open mic show? Is this guy tripping? As an added bonus, they ask all kinds of personal questions as you try to figure out your easiest escape. There is a guy out front that keeps on walking back and forth in front of the store. This is creepy. They push the guitar lessons again and find a way to insult me, maybe because I don't want to take his guitar lessons? Then he gives me his number so I can be sure to call to sign up for the lessons. With you? Are you out of your mind? Yes, you are out of your mind. And I know the safest thing for me to do with someone like that, is not to get angry, just humor him and GTF outta there asap.

I have known Yury for years as a valued member of the Newton-Watertown community. He had been…read moretuning my old piano for a long time and when it came time to graduate to a better instrument, I visited his store in Newton. I had a low price range in mind but wanted a decent, real instrument that would hold its tune well in an apartment that's not heat- or humidity-controlled. Other piano shops laughed at my price range and said I'd never find a decent upright piano for less than $5,000. They were completely wrong. Yury is an expert in his craft and I completely trust his advice when it comes to pianos. He tunes them with an old-European-style precision and care that, quite frankly, is very difficult to find from other piano professionals. I purchased a refurbished Yamaha U3 from his shop for a wonderful price and couldn't be happier - true to his word, the piano was perfectly in tune when it arrived and hadn't required any tuning for over two months. When it does, I will be sure to call him - his prices are very reasonable and his work and years of experience, both in Europe and the United States, speaks for itself. I most certainly can vouch that his work is excellent and that the care and depth he brought to the job really made my old instrument a joy to play (and my new one even better!). This shop is a real gem because it's truly a one-man show and a real local business that does it all (there aren't many of those anymore!): he tunes, restores, repairs and sells pianos of all types and sizes. There are used Baldwins, perfect for a beginner student or kid starting out; there are also grand Steinways for the local jazz players and professional performers. In fact, a good friend of mine, a world-class jazz pianist, purchases his instruments at Yury's vs. any of the local chain stores. You will be supporting a LOCAL shop and will know that if you make a purchase, it will be an instrument that had been individually cared for. It will also be a fair price without the huge markup seen at the other places. Buying an instrument, especially a piano, is always intimidating, but I highly recommend this little shop and place complete trust in Yury's services.

When he plays, he expresses it so vividly that I can see, feel, and hear exactly what he means. Those moments stay with me, and I'm able to draw on them during my practice, which makes his lessons especially impactful. His teaching will stay with me for the rest of my life. I also want to mention Dina, who helps organize the schedule at Newton Violin Studio. She is wonderful--always responsive and helpful when changes come up.
