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.

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!!!

We contacted Steve to move a baby grand piano we purchased in Port Tabacco for our daughter. To our…read moresurprise Steve and his helper were able to move the piano the next day. They were extremely careful and took their time not damage it! This piano was 100 yrs old so they understood the fragility that it could have. When they brought the piano in they were careful not to damage our new hardwood floors, gently laid the piano down and assembled in the room we requested and placed it exactly where we asked! Two weeks later we called Steve to come and tune it after the piano had a chance to settle in. Steve not only tuned the piano but also helped free up a few of the keys that were "sticking" I've been around pianos for over 65yrs and our 11 y old daughter has been playing for 6 yrs. This is our 3rd piano since transferring to southern Maryland. We are thrilled with Steve and will ONLY let Steve touch our piano for now on! Thanks "Piano Man"!

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.

They had to send the instrument out and we got it back around Thanksgiving. It played great the first time. The price was a little higher than quoted, but well worth it. In all honestly you usually pay more for the repairs/maintenance and other stuff for students instruments then the entire cost for the instrument. The only negative is the store opens at 11:00. The other neg is the other staff other than Pete, don't really know what they are doing or have any knowledge of the business.
