There is free street parking nearby, and the neighborhood is lovely. the Music Mansion is only s few steps away from Prospect Park where you can see one of the best views in Providence. On our most recent visit, we discovered there is a small backyard with chairs, and we enjoyed sitting there before the performance. This is an over all lovely place and I'm so glad that it is still around.

The Music Mansion is, in my opinion, one of the best places in Rhode Island to listen to a…read moreclassical performance. It's a beautiful old historic home that was transitioned into a nonprofit music venue featuring intimate community based performances. The space seats 100 people at most, and you are surrounded with somewhat stern portraits of the family that used to own the home as well as incredible pieces of artwork and a magnificent chandelier hanging above the Steinway piano. I went to hear a friend play several pieces with a violinist and the acoustics are just perfect. There is only one bathroom and it is difficult getting in the front door if you don't have great mobility, and the parking is difficult on a steep and winding hill. But once you get into the space it's a beautiful experience.

My piano had settled (poorly) after the big move & was shockingly out of tune. Also, two sticky…read morekeys! It was time to schedule a piano tuning. I chatted on the phone with Elena to schedule a time for one of their tuners to come by my apartment. She was very helpful & pleasant, finding a time that worked for both of us. She followed up twice before the appointment - once to confirm, & another time to clarify on the parking situation after the big snow storm. Mike, the tuner, arrived exactly on time. He saw my spinet piano & let out a big sigh, informing me that this may be more difficult than we anticipated. We discussed my goals - I was hoping to return to standard tuning. He got to work on my stubborn, old piano, doing his very best to gentle tweak it back to normal. He did a wonderful job, considering the state of my piano. He honestly reported to me that he couldn't get to fine-tuning it yet, so he didn't charge me full price. I was so grateful for his effort & honesty. I will definitely be returning to Avery for all my piano needs, whether coordinating another tune with Mike or purchasing a new piano.

I came in today to do some Christmas shopping, wanting to support Small Business Saturday…read more I came in and was directed to the expert for what I was looking for. It turned out to be the "new" owner, Larry. (New because he became the owner 10 years ago, and Luca Music has been around since I used to shop at Almacs... ) The building is the exactly the same as it was in the 80s and it's well kept, so for me it's like stepping back in time when I took music lessons here. Pretty fantastic to have something so well preserved for the next generation. I told Larry what I was looking for. He did a great job showing me my options and while he showed the the nicest version of what I was looking for, he in no way pressured me to spend extra. He got me just what I wanted and even made me a nice bundle offer that I am confident got me the best deal around. He even threw in extra after the sale. We did business and then he helped carry my purchase to the car. So while we tend to forget the Small Business so often in lieu of box stores and online shipping, there's something about the time and care and appreciation I felt today at Luca Music. I would not hesitate to return or recommend.

I came across Piano Mill recently from an ad they placed for a piano on Facebook Marketplace…read more Right from the start, I was extremely impressed with my interactions with Eli. 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.

Mark is extremely knowledgeable, and takes excellent care of his pianos. All the pianos in the showroom looked like new, perfectly rebuilt and reconditioned, played nicely and sounded amazing. Mark has always been patient with all my questions and he completely understands my needs. I never expected the process from start to end to be so smooth and easy. He and his family also handled the delivery super well, thanks to them I was able to play my piano before thanksgiving. I am very grateful and I don't know how to thank Mark enough for everything. If you are looking to find really good quality pianos or simply just in need for a piano technician, Mark is the person you can always trust. - a very happy customer :)
