We haven't bought yet, I will update when we do. But we definitely will be buying from here…read more Jeff truly has a piano wonderland, and was communicative as we made an appointment with him (covid19 precautions, hooray!), and as we came to visit. He also just got his second covid19 vaccine, just before we visited, so that's another reason to shop at this piano wonderland. I know I keep saying piano wonderland, but that's really what this place is. Jeff understands the joy of playing piano, being a long time pianist himself. While my husband spent LITERALLY HOURS, trying out every single upright in the wonderland, Jeff was so patient with me (a non pianist). I learned so much from him about pianos, and also about the beautiful field of miners lettuce in his backyard. And he listened, politely, to me telling him my life story too, and I know I have a tendency to do, especially when I haven't talked to a stranger in months They've got a great rent to own program, and he's got a favored piano mover that has very reasonable rates (if you go through Jeff). My piano snob husband surprised all of us, including himself, when after trying every piano, we ended up deciding on a HUGE turn of the century (1906) Irving upright. We are concerned it might have too much sound for our small home, so we're renting it to start with. But when we do finally buy a piano, we're fairly determined that it will be from him. He sells new pianos, but he also rebuilds pianos, focusing on the health and sound of the piano. And it shows. EVERY SINGLE PIANO in that place sounds amazing. AMAZING. If you love pianos, and love the real acoustic resonant warm sound of unique pianos, come here. You also get a great piano mover without having to search for one, and a man who KNOWS his pianos. And tunes them like a dream. (He also has a 35 year old apprentice, but he wasn't there when I was).

We recently moved from Santa Cruz and are really going to miss Paul at SCRS. We have made some…read moreamazing memories there. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. Their storage locker rates and rental equipment are affordable. We have left mics and cables behind on accident a few times, and they were always set aside for us. The location is sketch, as there are a lot of homeless loiterers, but that's the county's fault. Be sure to lock your cars. We only had a couple of people ask us for money over a 5-year period, so it's not that bad. As a woman, I felt safe sitting outside alone. The rooms are sound-proof enough and the bathroom is clean. It's a great little spot to rehearse or jam. Check it out!

John showed up at my house exactly on time, picked up my box of 10 - 25 year old family taped, transferred each tape as a high quality MP4 file, put them on a high quality thumb drive, dropped off my original tapes and new thumb drive at my house, helped me upload the MP4's from the thumb drive to my laptop, and reviewed them on my laptop to show me the results. He saved each tape as a an individual MP4 file for me and named them to match each of my tape labels. They turned out better than I expected, absolutely perfect video quality! I copied all of the movies from my laptop to a shared OneDrive folder in the cloud so my family can view them from anywhere whenever they want. I can even view them on my iPhone via OneDrive.

Very excellent business to order reconditioned pianos from! We are extremely pleased and glad we…read moredidn't chose from a random single individual. The piano we ordered was shipped with care inside our house by the owners themselves, and they had the further courtesy to even test and install it while also explaining the specifics of our model and how to utilize everything (such as plugging in and explaining the temperature humidity control system, the petals and how to utilize them such as pushing one of them down then left to make it quieter, opening lid etc). We are ABSOLUTE beginners so we appreciated every single information they gave us even if others may find it obvious or common sense. To future pianists (or if you already are one) looking for a good pre-owned piano in Cali, they definitely get a 5 stars from me. The owners, Andrew & Bryan, without a doubt have a deep respect for the art of pianos shown by their skill (they played inside our house during the testing), care/reconditioning (the pre-owned pianos go through a thorough check by them which includes tuning and cleaning so you don't have to go through the hassle. There's other things they do as well in part for the reconditioning but I know most people look at tuning first when it comes to maintenance, just visit their website for more information), and their excellent customer service. Very pleasant and genuine people to purchase from, please support local businesses that genuinely love their work and their customers!
