Beverly Wells has been tuning our pianos for nearly 35 years and I can't imagine entrusting our…read morepianos to anyone else. We have never had the space for our dream pianos, but Beverly was able to manipulate what we had to fool our ears and dreams still came true. She is a true craftsperson and the tuning is just the cherry on top of all the other elements of sound she develops. Even when played by professional pianists, there were positive comments about the tone, the presence, the overtones, the balance, and on and on. I can attest that this had less to do with the piano and so much more to do with the mastery of Beverly. Whatever your piano needs, we recommend Piano Craft and without hesitation.

The movers we're very friendly, prompt and knew exactly what needed to be done (had no idea how much goes into moving a grand piano!). I rarely post reviews on sites like Yelp, but these guys well deserved it. They even recommended how to take care of the piano, had several tuner recommendations and helped us pick a good spot in the house to place it (guess some walls are better than others.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!…read more I've been a loyal customer of this music shop since their early days in downtown Santa Rosa, but my recent visit was incredibly disappointing. I came in looking for help with equipment, but was met with dismissive and unprofessional behavior from the staff. One worker in particular was rude, degrading, and even made racially insensitive remarks. He knows who he is. Instead of offering assistance, he made assumptions about me -- including whether I could even afford the equipment -- based solely on how I was dressed. That kind of judgment is unacceptable. What happened to treating long-time customers with respect? The new staff clearly lack the manners and basic customer service skills that once made this place special. I left feeling disrespected and extremely frustrated. I should have asked to speak with a manager. If this business wants to survive, they seriously need to retrain their staff on how to treat people with dignity. Just disappointing. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Most musical instrument retailers have floor samples of the big three: Roland, Yamaha, Casio. All of those I tried didn't satisfy for various and personally important reasons. Mostly like the keyboard didn't feel like an acoustic piano or the simulated piano sounds were too fake electronic. Was motivated to visit as Stanroy is a Kawai digital piano authorized seller which no other local sellers carry. I've been an occasional Stanroy customer since 1973. In the dark distant past I have purchased guitars, amplifiers, percussion instruments, even a few real German made pear wood recorders. But it's been decades since my last purchase. Was always satisfied with the shopping and purchasing process. Today, played the Kawai KDP-120 digital piano. Keyboard action feels like a "real" piano. The sound models are remarkably pleasing. Close your eyes and you'd be hard pressed to hear that it's digital. The construction is solid. Industry reputation for reliability is excellent. MSRP for the piano is $1599. Stanroy price = $1199. Sold! Nice folks. Stanroy is a real musical instrument store in that they sell and service orchestral instruments. Only place in Sonoma County you can buy a trombone, trumpet, piccolo or French horn. All the other shops (which I also love) are basically electric guitar stores with amps, a few synthesizer keyboards , DJ tables, PA systems, one drum set, and the panoply of electronic gizmos for rock n' rollers. Stanroy, it's been too long since my previous visit until today. I promise not to stay away too long again. Highest recommendation.
