Bought a 1970s Yamaha U3 and everything about the experience was great. Pooya was easy to work with and the movers were able to safely deliver the piano to my 2nd floor. Highly recommend. read more

We were thrilled with our experience buying a Yamaha grand from Pooya. He and his team did a beautiful job with the refurbishment and Pooya was very responsive and friendly in answering all our questions. I also really appreciate the year of free tuning and service and the future trade in program. It gives me confidence that we are buying an instrument we know will be maintained over time. As first-time piano buyers we will definitely go back to LA piano for our next instrument! read more

Found Pooyah on Facebook Marketplace. Was skeptical at first because of the price of the used pianos that were listed. After reading a lot of the reviews on yelp, I contacted Pooyah and am glad I did. He's very knowledgeable about pianos and didn't try to upsell us. We bought a used one for a reasonable price since my daughter is just learning to play the piano and we didn't want to invest in a brand new Yamaha piano. It also included tuning and delivery. Everything was great from beginning to in. Pooyah was flexible with our schedule to meet up at his showroom and the delivery time. Would definitely recommend him. read more

Great experience! The piano looks and sounds amazing, and my instructor loved it. Honest seller, fair pricing, professional delivery and tuning, and excellent after-sale service. I also appreciate the upgrade program, which lets me trade in my piano later without the hassle of finding a buyer. Highly recommend! read more

LA Pianos is a special, trustworthy, caring, professional company. I have bought two pianos there and have made several piano moves to various parts of California through them.

Pooya helped us with buying our piano and moving as well as tuning. He is very helpful with any questions that I have.

I had a fantastic experience purchasing our piano here. The owner was incredibly kind and flexible, he even allowed us to upgrade to a Yamaha, which made a huge difference for our family. My child absolutely loves the piano and plays it every day. What really stood out was his honesty and genuine desire to make sure we were completely happy with our choice. That level of care is rare. I can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

Just bought my Yamaha upright M Series from Rooya at LA PIanos and had a very smooth experience from visiting the showroom to arranging delivery. Pooya is the best, making sure I was satisfied.

I can't recommend enough! read more

I would highly recommend LA Pianos. We went in with our piano teacher to test out the piano first. My son and his teacher were able to play on the different pianos to test them out first, and see how they liked the sound and feel. Pooya was very knowledgeable was able to answer all our questions about the sound and quality and other things that don't understand but my piano teacher was asking him. When we decided to move forward, he was able to set up delivery for the very next day. The delivery men were quick and set up the piano exactly where I wanted it. Hopefully I won't ever need a piano again, but I will definitely refer any friends and family to come here if they are looking for a piano. read more

I bought a Yamaha U1 from Pooya and the whole experience was amazing. It was my first time buying a real piano, and I had a million questions. It was a gift for my husband, so I really wanted everything to be perfect. Pooya invited us to his shop, let us try a bunch of different pianos, and was incredibly patient while my husband took his time deciding. We eventually found the perfect one, and Pooya made the rest so easy. He handled the delivery, the tuning, and even included a piano bench. He actually offered to deliver it that same day, but we had other plans, so it arrived a couple of days later exactly as scheduled. The piano is perfect and so is the service. If you're looking for a piano and want someone who's knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely helpful, go to Pooya. I couldn't recommend him more. read more

Bought a piano from Pooya years ago. Great piano, great experience, and glad to know him.

Pooya and his movers and cleaners were awesome. Very communicative, helpful and nice and did a great job. 5/5 for sure.

I'll start off by saying I am not a piano player but was shopping for a piano for my kids back in April. We found Pooya through Facebook Marketplace. He was very responsive through our messaging and I was able to make it to his studio to look at his pianos. We provided a budget and he gave his recommendations. His service includes tuning, a 1 year warranty, delivery, and the ability to trade up if we wanted to in the future. Sounds great - seems much better than buying a piano of unknown quality from a private party. We picked a piano and in about 24 hours, it was delivered to our home. Well, it arrived an hour late, and I wasn't informed of the delay until I texted Pooya at the end of the delivery window. Good thing we didn't have plans on a Friday night. After delivery, we immediately noticed that the piano was leaning forward, something we didn't notice in the studio. I immediately texted Pooya and he suggested maybe our ground is not level (not the issue) and offered to bring caster cups. On the day he arrived, we had a few more issues to point out, including sticking keys and keys that were a little difficult to press. He explained that humidity could be an issue. When one key did stick while he was there, he simply solved it by brushing his hand over the hammers. As for the other sticky keys, he said he could not do anything about them since they were not occurring and compared the piano to a car, stating that it is so intricate that if there is nothing wrong, it shouldn't be touched. I mentioned the heaviness of some keys and he said that it is due to the quality of the piano. He then proceeded to play the piano and tell me that it plays well and it is in perfect tune. After he left, I found I was not convinced with his explanation and took some videos and explained that there seemed to be a lot of friction with those keys. My kids also faced the same issue where sometimes the key would not make a sound. He returned and explained to me that I was not pressing the key correctly. And that kids tend to not press a key hard enough so it does not make a sound. He then proceeds to play some music and tells me again how nice the piano plays and sounds. He leaves again and I continued to do my investigation because those heavy keys really bothered me. I peered into the piano and noticed the tri dampers were causing a lot of friction and that the issue with the heavy keys did not happen when the damper pedal was pressed. Once again Pooya returned. He again told me that this is how it is and that I could upgrade to a nicer piano if I wanted to. After leaving again, I noticed another issue where a key would not return upright if pressed in sequence and with the damper pedal down; so it would essentially stop making noise. I sent a video over to Pooya, who suggested that maybe the note was not released before it was pressed again, but said he could come by and check it when he is back from his trip. I never followed up afterward since I expected the result would end up being the same - where he would play the piano and say it sounds and plays well; where it would be suggested that I'm not using it correctly; where I would be given the option to spend more money and upgrade or replace it entirely. There were no solutions given for the piano I had in front of me. We opted to find a piano technician for a second opinion. He showed us that the hammers were not evenly distributed, causing them to rub against each other at times (but also attributing that this could be due to humidity). He showed us that some hammers were sitting forward too much when in resting position, which made it less forgiving when a key needed to be played repeatedly. As for the heavy keys I had an issue with, he explained to me that there was a lot of friction and he reduced it, but said if it came back, WE HAVE THE OPTION TO REPLACE THE HAMMERS. Our technician reshaped the hammers, performed tuning [it was supposedly in tune before, but according to my iPhone app, it's even more in tune now], voicing and regulation over the course of two days. Our kids have not made any complaints since of stuck keys or keys not making sounds. And we overheard our piano teacher telling our kids that the piano sounds better now. I also no longer have a problem with the heavy keys. read more

Pooya Barkhordar is the best of the best - a true craftsman who knows pianos and takes pride in restoring pianos to reveal their true grace, tone, and beauty. I also love to hear him play the piano. I bought a gorgeous Yamaha in 2019 that I was truly in love with and he tuned it every year for me. Sadly, I lost it in the Eaton Fire in Altadena, but when I was ready I asked Pooya to keep his eyes open for one to replace mine. And he found the perfect one! Another honey-colored Yamaha very similar to mine which he restored to excellent condition. I am so happy with my new piano, and so grateful to work with a true artist like Pooya. His studio is in a super cool 120yo building, too! read more
