This is the place to go in the DMV if you're looking for a new Yamaha piano…read more We were first-time piano buyers looking for a new U1. From what I read online, most piano dealers will quote an MSRP or "SMP (suggested maximum price)" with the expectation that you will haggle down the price. We went to our local Yamaha dealer [not Downtown Piano Works] and met with a sales associate recommended by our piano teacher. His first offer was already less than MSRP: I'm terrible at haggling, but I figured I'd try anyway and ask for a better price. A day later, he came back with another $500 off the price. I was feeling pretty good about myself and was getting ready to go to the store before his "offer expired." On a whim, minutes before I left, I thought I'd try the next closest Yamaha dealer, which happened to be Downtown Piano Works. I typed a chat message into their website, expecting a canned AI answer. Instead, Dan, the owner, responded right away. He told me to call him on his cell phone, and without hearing the other store's "lowest" price, he quoted a price that was $1500 less. There was no haggling, no wondering if I was getting a worse deal than everyone else on the internet. We drove with the kids an hour to Frederick just to make sure this wasn't too good to be true, and it wasn't. Dan and Theresa opened their store on a Saturday night, three hours after I'd first messaged their website. By the time we left, we were the owners of a new Yamaha U1. If you're in the market for a new Yamaha acoustic piano, within driving distance of Frederick, and want to avoid the usual stress of new piano shopping, I'd definitely try clicking chat on their website.

Emanuil is THE BEST Piano Technician I have ever had service my piano! He was able to take an older…read morefamily piano I grew up on and rework the entire regulation, voicing and action to breathe new life into my treasured instrument. Pianos don't always age well without proper care, however, Emanuil not only "revived" my piano but set me up to be able to maintain my instrument for the long run. He explained the tuning process and took the time to not only begin with an initial tuning, but planned follow-up tunings and service, which is a necessary part of restoring and stabilizing a piano's intonation, especially after it hasn't been regularly serviced for quite some time. His rates are fair for the high level of service he provides and his years of training and experience as a piano technician. Emanuil's experience is evident and he clearly has a love for what he does and it shows in his work. It's no wonder he is a highly sought after Piano Technician in the area!

Becker's Piano Tuning is truly an exceptional business. My family piano had been essentially…read moreneglected for years until I had decided to get it tuned. It was out of tune, responded poorly to key contact, and was overall in a pretty bad shape. Discovering their business in Chesapeake was amazing news, and I was met with a quick response and prompt, flexible scheduling for a tuning in my own home. Both Michael and Kyle displayed patience, politeness, and colloquial professionalism upon arrival and during conducting their services. By each time they worked on my piano, it completely different and better every time. Their rates are fixed for the most part depending on what needs to be worked on, but all-in-all affordable for restoring the beautiful sounds of my formerly neglected instrument. Their business is definitely one that has your back! So much more to say, but I cannot forget to compliment Kyle's phenomenal playing!
