This store is improving!! Idk if it's the new manager whipping things into shape, or what, but they…read morehave something to prove: they want our return business and overall satisfaction! I went into each department to browse before I bought a piano from Bryan in pro audio - that guy is HILARIOUS and super friendly! His passion for keyboards and guitars really shines out in his sales! He spent time with us while also balancing two other customers who were looking for pianos as well as microphones and such. He made everyone feel attended to and made a few great sales in the process. We bought a Casio CDP S100 and are absolutely loving it! We moved over to Jason in drums and he was equally as warm and welcoming. He knew so much about drums and had no problem letting me and my family know all we had to ask. His input on which drums to go with, different brands and their customer service, and even tips for tuning and traveling! What a patient and kind man! Truly a gem in the sales world. Wealth of knowledge, that man is. When I passed through guitars, Mike G (seen him there many times, terrific guy) was helping some folks out but didn't ignore me, still said hello and offered help if I needed it. I then had a nice conversation with Caleb in guitars, he is very efficient and knowledgeable! Overall, I'd say this store has a sordid past. Maybe it was the manager before. But I see Rodrigo (new manager of store) all the time and he really does a good job of being present for the customers and offering help. He's got me convinced he wants to bring this store to a higher place. Give this store a chance, they've earned it! Kudos to Bryan (pro audio) Jason (drums) Mike G and Caleb (guitars) you guys made my experience great. See you next time!

Impara SRQ worked with Bayfront Piano to move an upright for a student who was being gifted an…read moreinstrument. Owner Anthony Duffy thoughtfully met with the donor in advance to assess the piano the student would be receiving. He conducted a thorough inspection and provided helpful background information about the piano maker and model, giving us a better understanding of the instrument. Anthony and his assistant John were a pleasure to work with throughout the process. On the day of the move, they took great care to ensure the piano would fit safely through the kitchen and in the elevator, paying close attention to wall and cabinet corners. The piano was secured and transported in a Bayfront Piano trailer outfitted exclusively for instrument moving. This is our second move this season, and we look forward to continuing to work with Bayfront Piano to support our students. Submitted by Monica Sirocchi, Owner of Impara SRQ

As with Bayfront Piano!! We referred to Bayfront by our well regarded piano tuner. My wife's experience from setting up the appointment and scheduling in a tight moving window on short notice was pleasant and flawless. I must apologize I was under orders NOT to take pictures as my wife did not even want to be watching as her baby (claw & ball mahogany 2004 baby grand Pramberger I bought for her birthday - not saying which one :-) ) was being extracted from one home and delivered to the next about 2 miles away. (I had to take one just now as we are still un-packing and my wife is asleep (snicker) ) She was a wreck the whole time. I suspect the way I felt when my 7 ton sailboat was in the crane straps 30 feet in the air being splashed in the water each season - but I digress) Anthony and his crew skillfully and delicately/surgically maneuvered the 600+ pound instrument and transported it to our home. From tools, fixtures, transports/carts, handling mechanisms, trailer/hitch, vehicles - you can tell this is a well "tuned" mission with military precision, safety, and care. It was also the hottest day so far in 2022 with temps in the 90s and a heat index over 100. What a truly exceptional and wonderful experience. Great service, wonderful people and personality, and I can save you the many calls we made to "hope" we would find the right folks!!! HERE THEY ARE!!!

At this point, I have paid a premium for the item. It is NOT rare nor is it high end...contrary. Upon getting it, I notice it's faulty. I contact them and they tell me I'd have paid more IF it was mint. But it's NOT mint...lol....so that's neither here nor there. Plus...I DID pay more than a fair price for this item. Then they tell me MOST old items like this have the same issue. Untrue. THEN they admit the issue descriptor was never used in their description. Or I'd have never bought. Now, they tell me their pics reveal the issue. You'd have to be an eagle to see this in the lousy pic they use. AND...I could have done better taking a more accurate pic. Finally, they passive aggressively offer to take it back...which they should...it was inaccurately advertised....but they want ME to eat shipping both ways. Not going to happen! I'll just leave scathing online reviews and keep the thing. Bad enough I have to drive it across town to post office.....I'm not paying for their blunders. On a poorly described item...that I paid top dollar for. Crooks.....never again! You've been warned, folks!
