I was looking for a baby grand piano to replace my digital piano. After doing some research online and went to a few big piano stores, i found my love - a Yamaha C1 in great condition in Pianotek. Dennis, the owner, was very helpful and knowledgeable. He has a great selection of pianos in his store and the price is very reasonable compared to other big piano stores in the area. Dennis said I can even use the price i paid for my Yamaha to upgrade to a Steinway as a credit within 10 years! After sale service is great too. I got my C1 6 months ago and Dennis is the one who maintains and tunes it. I will highly recommend Pianotek to anyone who is in the market of buying a quality piano. read more

What more can I say than has already been said? I'll give a personal experience. My pianos have never sounded better. Dennis reinforced that the work that has been done was up to standard. My pianos have never sounded better. He gave me a welcomed and thorougd history of both of my Steinways. Having gone through multiple tuners, it is of no doubt that he is the one. His wisdom of the mechanics and the intricacies of the instrument is evident. I have had the same tuner for several generations and he is the first one that has respected the instrument and the work that has been done. Every tuner has their own phrases that they test during tuning. Dennis is a genius. Plain and simple. His tests are the equivalent of a Carnegie Hall performance. An absolute brilliant mind. Most tuners are a chore to get through and with him, it is a performance. He taught me many things I would have never known. He is as good as it gets. There aren't enough food words. An incredibly kind and knowledgeable gentleman and a master in his craft I reinforce the other voices on Yelp and would wholeheartedly recommend Pianotek and their services. It doesn't get any better. . read more

I called Pianotek to get a tuning and Dennis was at my house the very next day! He cares greatly about his craft and he certainly knows his way around a piano. Lot's of people can do a decent job tuning a piano but few truly understand it's intricacies. If you call pianotek, you are Aside from tuning, pianotek restores and sells literally the best pianos money can buy. I surely plan on buying my next piano from them! read more

I've known Dennis Pereca for over 30 years. He has serviced every piano I have owned. When the time finally came to upgrade to my dream "Golden Age" Steinway M Queen Anne piano, I knew there was no one else I could trust to deliver what I was looking for. The entire team at Pianotek, Luis and Eddie, and all the others are truly craftsmen who take pride in pouring all of their excellence into every detail. I am so pleased and beyond grateful for this exquisite piano that will no doubt be an heirloom for my children's children. read more

I bought a Steinway &Sons 1098 upright piano from Dennis. I used eBay because I needed some seance of security considering I am in California is and the piano was in New York. I called and spoke with Dennis and learned Amit about pianos just speaking with him. I have wanted a Steinway ever since I was in college many years ago. The piano arrived about six weeks later in excellent condition. I had a qualified piano technician come and tune it. He told me the pins and strings were new. He tuned my piano and played it had and showed me how my piano was built and strong as a work horse. He said because of the new strings I would need to tune my piano another two or three times within the next year because the strings are settling. But he told me I paid a good price and got an excellent piano. I am very happy with my purchase. Dennis even reimbursed me for the first tuning. Thank you Dennis. read more

Pianotek - Steinway 1098 upright piano - Piano Stores Near Me - Huntington Station, New York

We have known Dennis for over 25 years and Pianotek is a company with great pianos. I can truly say we have never met a more knowledgeable and honest person. He truly cares what best for the customer and will tell you the truth about each piano and if it is a good fit for the person playing it. He has been servicing our first piano for all these years even though we didn't buy it from him. We are truly ecstatic to say that we have upgraded our first piano to a Yamaha baby grand piano. Steve & Marcia NY read more

Very knowledgeable with piano and kind. Detailed explanation before starting work and let me know how to properly maintain the piano

Dennis is a marvel. I am not only a lifelong musician, I have perfect relative pitch so if anything is out it just about makes my skin crawl. I have the responsibility of keeping 3 really old - and originally badly kept pianos in good shape and in tune. Dennis was my third tuner. My piano is the one I play constantly and I had to avoid hitting certain keys because they were so bad they jarred me before he came. Now, all three pianos are perfect. Mine happens to be the best quality and also the most played - constantly. But the other two are open to many people who play at will with varying levels of skill. I'd never use anyone else! read more

Dennis came to tune my 40 year old Wurlitzer piano, which has gotten quite a work-out, this past year. Although it has a nice sound, its age and life with many kids and a dog, make it look pretty beat up. He really took his time assessing what it needs, giving it an expert tuning, and repairing some of its issues. He even offered suggestions on how to restore its appearance. I learned so much about my piano, I'm actually looking forward to getting it tuned again in a year, so it can be brought back up to its best! I know I shouldn't say this, but for such all around care and expertise, his services are practically a steal. Thank you! read more

Lack of respect for local musicians. Pianotek employees spam local online marketplaces with hundreds of their ads. It's not a good business model to treat your prospective customers poorly and subject them to dozens of duplicate ads for each piano you are trying to sell. Next time I am in the market for a piano I will certainly look elsewhere. read more

We are in possession of a 94 year old Kanabe baby grand. Even though the sound is great the wood is drying out obviously. Dennis has restored the keyboard and keep the piano going. He realistically let us know that pins need to be replaced but doesn't pressure us to invest more money into it. He makes it sound like a Steinway once it is tuned. Eventually, we will have him do more extensive work on the piano but for now we are more than satisfied. This was his third tune up on this piano; his price is reasonable, he is honest, and he works wonders on this old baby grand!!! read more

Piano tuned beautifully. Dennis arrived on time and was very personable. He is a pianist, so he knows what a well tuned piano should sound like! We will use Dennis for our piano tuning in the future and will recommend him to our other piano playing friends! read more

After 8 months of extensive search in the NY area for a Yamaha grand C2 or C3, as soon as I walked in and met Dennis I knew I'm in great hands. Great selection of only high end quality pianos (mostly Steinways, Yamaha, Kawai) and very reasonable prices as well. Bought the amazing Yamaha C2 right there on the spot. The crew is extremely professional and each piano leaves the store in perfect condition. Also can't beat the 10 year warranty. Highly recommended! read more

Dennis arrived on time, extremely friendly, did a great job tuning my very very out of tune piano which had been moved and neglected for a few years. Was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Will definitely continue using him every year to take care of my piano! read more

Dennis came to my home today to tune my Charles Walters piano which had not been tuned in a very long time. He arrived at the time we had scheduled, which is extremely rare these days! He was professional and extremely knowledgeable about pianos. I felt he was reasonably priced and honest. I would definitely use Dennis to tune my piano again, which he told me should be done once a year to keep it in good shape. Thanks so much, Dennis! It was a pleasure meeting you and listening to your stories!! read more

I'm a pianist and was trying to choose an ideal piano for my needs. I took the train out from Manhattan to Pianotek. Boy, am I glad I did. Dennis, first and foremost, is such a fine musician. He brings that background to the restorations of all his pianos. My trip there was well worth it. It's inspiring to meet someone with such integrity in his work. Who wouldn't want to buy from that guy? I highly recommend anyone taking a trip out there to meet Dennis and experience the level of his work through his rebuilt pianos. I promise it will help you realize what you want in a piano. read more

Love Pianotek! They are amazingly affordable! We adore our new piano! Service was great and flexible. Would recommend them in a heartbeat! read more

I can highly recommend Dennis Pereca and Pianotek! I really wanted to get my childhood piano in tune and moved back to my home in Westchester from a relative's home in Long Island. Dennis went out to see if it was worth saving (It is 60 years old and hasn't been tuned in 10 years) -- and after a careful inspection, I am getting my piano back home!! Dennis was understanding, reasonable, and gave me the name of a mover who was $200 less expensive than the others. I am so grateful I called and spoke with Dennis. I just wish he lived closer to Westchester so he could service my piano! read more

How can one truly rate a piano and service until they have owned it for some time? I bought my white Yamaha G1 used on 2/5/2018 from Dennis. Before I received the piano, I had Dennis oversee the installation of the PianoDisc Player system. The installation was perfectly completed and the piano is equally as spectacular today as it was 2+ years ago! Though I had an initial issue with delivery, Dennis was extremely involved in helping get the delivery safely accomplished. I love my G1 and would recommend Pianotek to all those looking for a very reputable and honest dealer and a Grade A quality used piano. Linda A. read more

We checked out a couple other Long Island piano dealers but this was the best. Dennis is really knowledgeable and down-to-earth. The other dealers were sometimes too formal or didn't know how to treat us like people! The Yamaha U1 I got sounds like a dream and the people at Pianotek were incredibly helpful with sales, moving logistics and he personally voiced the piano to my preference. I trusted this technician from our first words in the space and I highly recommend you go visit! read more

Dennis and his team at Pianotek are remarkable and incredibly talented and refurbished the Steinway of our dreams ! They are incredible to work with and passionate about what they do and would highly recommend them if you are a piano lover . read more

Dennis is simply awesome not only is he the greatest when it comes to walking someone like myself who knows absolutely nothing about buying a piano through the process. The follow up is incredible. Not only will he sell you a piano he will also become a friend. I purchased a Steinway for my wife and if you ever want to see tears of joy do just that. I without 100% hesitation recommend Pianotek and my new friend Dennis. read more

I recently purchased a Yamaha piano from Pianotek and couldn't have been happier with the experience. I dealt directly with Dennis P, the owner, who is an awesome guy with incredible knowledge about Piano's from both a technician and a musician's perspective. He gave me a great deal on the piano and then came to he house to tune it after the move. I was in the market for a new piano but after visiting Pianotek I realized I could get something as good as new for almost half the price. His used piano's are in perfect condition and you would never be able to tell the difference between a 15 year old piano from Pianotek and a brand new one from somewhere else. I really can't say enough about Dennis and his company. If you are in the market for a piano you would be crazy not to use them. read more

I recently purchased a 1983 Yamaha U3A from Pianotek and am thrilled with the piano. I knew I wanted a U3, and I had shopped around for a while looking at different pianos from other dealers. For the most part, I was underwhelmed, and couldn't find pianos that lived up to the U3 reputation. Then I visited Dennis at his showroom. He had at least six instruments for me to choose from, each from the sweet-spot years of U3 production, and Dennis let me spend the better part of a rainy afternoon, playing them all, and deciding which one I preferred. Dennis' selection far surpassed any of the other U3s I had auditioned previously. His pianos sing and they hit you in your gut -- exactly what I was hoping for, and now that the one I chose is sitting in my living room, it sounds even better. It's a gorgeous instrument, in pristine reconditioned condition, and I'm looking forward to enjoying it for many years. read more

Over the last couple of days I had the pleasure of working with Dennis at Pianotek. My interactions with Dennis were fantastic. If you are in the market for a piano, definitely contact Dennis. I am sure the service he gives you will be at least as great as the service he provided to me. read more

Great experience with Dennis today as he tuned my piano. I am new to the piano and don't have much experience. I was given a piano and someone recommended Dennis to come look it over and tune it. From the minute I met him he seemed genuine and passionate about pianos. He also did not try to sell me stuff I didn't need. He tuned it and WOW what a difference. Haven't stopped playing it since. I see no reason to look any further for any of my piano needs. Thanks Dennis! read more

My piano was damaged during the move from Canada to the U.S., and they did a wonderful job repairing and refinishing my Kawai. It looks fantastic and beautiful. Thank you! read more

I cannot say enough good things about my purchase and the experience I had with Pianotek. Owner Dennis, extended to me his complete and undivided attention throughout the entire process of selecting a piano, customizing/upgrading it and finally down to the flawless, white glove delivery. I needed up purchasing a beautiful Steinway & Sons model S (year 1947) from them. Dennis and his expert technicians fully restored the piano back to its former glory. It came out spectacular and I couldn't be more pleased. A true gem of a piano. I found Pianotek's customer service to be exception and it's quite evident that they care deeply for their customers as well as the pianos they offer. If I ever decide to trade up, I certainly won't hesitate to give them a call. A+ read more

I needed to sell my cousin's beloved Steinway after she passed on. Dennis was helpful and explained in detail how taking piano on consignment would work. He kept his promise and received the price agreed on I highly recommend doing bussiness with him. read more

Great pianos, great service, very knowledge. Bought a Yamaha U3 from them and it's incredible!!! Highly recommended.

Nightmare. I sent him the address. Then he contacted me AGAIN to find out the address. I told him address. Then day of appointment he was late and still needed address again. He spent most of the time on the phone and refused to do simple fixes to the piano. Was not polite or pleasant. Will NEVER use again. Found someone else on recommendation named Dan who came next day ON TIME no problems. Very polite and fixed the 2 minor problems the 1st guy could've/shouldve fixed in 2 minutes flat but simply couldnt be bothered to do. Dan also retuned the piano who he said was very special after this guy basically said it was a waste of an instrument. Very insulting. And if piano had to be retuned after he left, obviously doesnt even know what he's doing or at least couldnt be bothered the day he came to our home. Wouldn't wish him on yours. I recommend www.bnaturalmusicrepair.com who is AMAZING read more

Just bought a 1922 Steinway O from Dennis and company at Pianotek. I knew when I walked in that this was the right shop. The level of care and attention to detail are obvious in the instruments they restore. Real craftsman who love what they do. Great selection of pianos, professional service, and great followup. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Do not hesitate to use these guys for anything you need re: a piano. We bought a Yamaha, and Dennis (owner) and Luis (technician) both really went out of their way to educate, support, and advice us on our purchase, tuning, and transportation. Plus really good prices on the pianos, which is always a plus! I just joined yelp, because I wanted to publicly give these two guys a thumbs up! Keep it up guys and thanks again for everything. read more

I have finally found the piano of my dreams: a 1922-23 Steinway, model O, in flame mahogany. Pianotek is a unique store with many incredibly wonderful pianos. All the work done on my Steinway is mechanically perfect and the voicing is superb. All this, along with the Steinway's aesthetic beauty, is everything I had hoped for. If Dennis had the time, I would hire him to maintain all the pianos at J.A.M Studios. read more

Best store and workshop we've seen for beautifully and perfectly restored fine pianos. We purchased an impeccably restored 1927 Mason & Hamlin, after trying the many pianos in Denis Pereca's gallery. Dennis is a true craftsman and musician, and it was a breath of fresh air to be shown fine instruments by a real technician rather than a piano salesman. Pianotek easily had the largest selection of fine grands on Long Island. The big piano stores had more instruments, but most of the stock was of poor quality or over-priced. If you are looking for a piano, you must spend a couple of hours with Dennis and his instruments in his shop. He also has a useful website, through which he has provided pianos worldwide. read more

Dennis came to our home today to tune our old hand me down piano!! He was extremely helpful. He took his time explaining things to me he was very knowledgeable !!
