It was clear he knew a ton about pianos and went out of his way to not just sell a piano but to make sure the piano I was looking at was a great fit for my needs. Any purchase I make I do a ton of research and Eli was great at patiently answering all of my questions. They even went out of their way to open their store on an off day to accommodate my schedule. Without exception, everyone I dealt with (Eli, Rob, Robbie and the moving crew) were fantastic. Piano Mill has my highest recommendation.
