I can't imagine a better experience than buying a piano from Isaac at Prosper Pianos. I reached out…read moreon a whim after seeing a post about the business. Though we've wanted a piano for years, we had looked only casually before being struck by Isaac's philosophy: taking pianos and touching them up or even restoring them to sell to people across a wide range of budgets and skill levels. When I reached out, Isaac responded promptly, and we had a long conversation assessing what we were looking for in a piano. When we went to his shop, he explained the origin of the pianos he had and what made each different. He graciously let us try everything from a Baldwin spinet to a beautiful late-1800s Steinway (which he knew was NOT in our price range!). We ultimately settled on a warm Charles Walter upright, made by a smaller American company we hadn't been familiar with but that - - besides making great pianos - - has business values we appreciate as a bonus. The piano movers Isaac works with are excellent: they arrived promptly and carefully navigated the piano up several steps through a narrow entrance, in and out within fifteen minutes. Now we're beyond excited to have this beautiful piano sitting in our living room and highly recommend Isaac and Prosper Pianos.

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.

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. .

The only reason we were visiting this location is because our children were having a recital in their downstairs showroom. From what I read, they are the largest piano store to offer Yamaha Fazioli Bechstein and Bosendorfer pianos. In addition, one would find many used restored Steinway pianos. They seem to sponsor many events which include children recitals, classical piano, concerts jazz concerts, and many other events. Personally I see this has a wonderful marketing concept that surely provides visibility to this popular piano store chain.

I needed to move a grand piano from Westchester to Queens. I contacted this company and was given…read morean estimate which seemed reasonable. There is also an extra 3% surchage if you use a credit card. There were no long, twisting stairwells to navigate (which I believe increases the cost), so a relatively straight-forward move. The company was very responsive via email with answers to my questions (usually within a day) and we booked a date. It snowed the day before the move, but the movers showed up on time, were very professional, and the move went very smoothly. I did not notice any issues upon delivery. I have a Dampp Chaser system attached to the bottom of the piano to help regulate the humidity around the sound board. About 1 week after delivery, I noticed that one of the bars from the Dampp Chaser was on the floor hanging from its power cable. It turns out that two clamps that hold the bar in place were broken, and the bar eventually fell (I think from general vibrations from playing the piano). I suppose maybe this could have been from just general wear, but the timing with the move was just a little odd, and it was two clips, not just one. I contacted the company via email (using the same e-mail address that I had used previously) with photos of the problem and received absolutely no reponse. Eventually, it was a pretty simple, inexpensive repair, but I was a little disappointed in their lack of response (which is why I took off a star), and just wonder what would have happened if we were dealing with a bigger problem. I'm not going to pass judgement, I was otherwise happy with the move, but you can read about the interaction and decide for yourself how important this is if you chose to use this company. Update: So the company did reach to me, took responsibility for the damage, and offered to make it right. At this point, I did not take them up on their offer since it turned out to be a relative easy and inexpensive repair, but I just wanted to acknowledge their follow-up.
