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.

They allowed me to make an offer; worked with me on my price range; and the delivery was pretty good too (they contract deliveries with other companies.) I don't dream of owning "things," typically, but it has been my long-time dream to own a grand piano, and Stilwell made that happen for us!

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 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.

All this research worked out quite well for me, because I eventually encountered the Riverton Piano Company in Scottsdale where I ultimately purchased a beautiful Petrof upright piano. It was a superlative buying experience. Howard was a tremendous representative of Riverton Piano and very helpful in my decision making process. He possessed a wide knowledge of various piano technologies and manufacturers all the while conveying a congenial, professional attitude. Howard provided detailed pros and cons of various models and made several suggestions that well-suited my needs and budget. His communication, whether verbal or via email/text, was exemplary. When there was a slight issue with the delivery, Howard also seamlessly arranged for a very satisfactory resolution of the issue. I highly recommend the Riverton Piano Company.

Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!
