One word - exquisite…read more I've been playing my whole life and I'm an actively gigging musician. I grew up with a baby grand in my home and planned to purchase my own instrument when I grew up. That day finally came a few years ago at Stilwell Pianos. Acoustic pianos are incredibly complex analog instruments that are sensitive to changes in temperature, moisture, and numerous other factors. Because of this, it's impossible to pick a piano just by brand and model if you're specific about the action (touch) and intonation (sound). For experienced players, you have to play it to know if it's the one. I went to several stores in town. Most were staffed with pushy sales guys trying to land a Steinway sale using every trick in the book to create urgency and assume the sale. This bullshit doesn't fly with me and ruins the journey. I first visited Stilwell at their old location. Michael introduced himself, inquired what I was looking for, and let me explore on my own. No tactics, no pressure selling, etc. It took probably 4 trips over 6ish months before he had the right inventory for what I wanted. The buying process was straightforward from there and they used Max Piano Moving (best guys in town) for transport. Whether you're a seasoned professional or looking for your child's first piano, can't recommend these guys enough.

As a classical pianist and an amateur piano technician I have to say that Stilwell pianos is one of…read morethe most honest Piano Stores I've ever worked with. Like any used piano, there are always things that are great about the piano and some things that need to be fixed or worked on. Amongst their fantastic selection of serious pianos I have found that they have been very straightforward with the quality of the instruments and what has been done to rebuild/restore on them and at the same time they are honest with you when there are things that need to be fixed or replaced on an instrument before you buy. It's not a common thing to see in this industry and I was very happy to see that kind of honesty. A close friend of mine was looking to purchase a grand piano with Stillwell and I helped her pick one iut, and in doing so I had a hard time picking one specific instrument out of the many great options they had available. Push forward to about six months and I decided to upgrade to a newer Steinway model B and I can honestly say with my knowledge of these instruments that I received a fantastic deal for an instrument that will satisfy my needs for many many years to come. Take your time in looking at any piano you buy and ask any questions you may have and they will answer them and make sure you make a well informed decision on your purchase.

All are polished and ready to fill your hearts and home with beautiful music. I recently had the opportunity to speak and work with Drake Brown whose knowledge of pianos is exceptional. He shared with me that they have the largest collection of Steinways in the US. Not only do they offer brand new pianos but also pre-owned. I was moving out of state and needed to put my piano on consignment which I did with The Piano Store. Unbelievable experience. Drake was extremely easy to work with in assisting me with this pain free process. I can't say enough about this piano showroom and Drake Brown. If you're in the market for a new or pre owned piano go directly to The Piano Store. I guarantee you there is no other store that has the selection and additional services in all of Arizona!! Please ask to speak to Drake Brown and enjoy the experience.

As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

It has been…read morealmost a month and I can't say how happy I am with the piano, price and experience from Linton-Milano Music. They are a 5 star outfit! I felt no pressure from the second I walked in there. Chuck answered all my questions, let me play on the piano and stay as long as liked. The piano was in great shape and after playing it for almost a month it actually sounds better than I thought. The price was 11k for a fully installed QRS player which I found out costs 8k alone to install in a piano. So the price was unbelievable for the piano taking this into account. I really could. not. be. happier. I really mean that! I can honestly say my experience from this place was terrific. I highly recommend them!

As such, I'm no longer confident about my playing skills. Combined with my severe carpal tunnel, I just don't get to play much in general even more, even though I own a piano. But Bob, the manager on duty, was SO NICE! He wasn't pushy and was super accommodating. To me, while sound is important, the most important thing was making sure I could find a piano that was easier on my hands and fingers to make sure I could keep playing despite the ever-present hand and wrist pain I have. He helped me find the exact acoustic piano I needed for my lifestyle and budget and even taught me about things that had changed since the last time I went shopping for pianos years ago! I am confident that I'll be back to purchase the piano I found today. When asked upfront, I even clearly stated I wasn't going to purchase for a few months. And it didn't matter! He took the time to show me around the store and the pianos specifically that would help me keep playing and teach my son. Thanks, Bob and Southwest Pianos!!! You made my day! I'll never recommend anyone else!
