    New W. Hoffmann V126

    I recently visited Kim's Piano with my husband to help my sister find replacement parts for her old piano that has not been played in many years. We were warmly greeted by Steve Rivera, who was approachable, humorous, and a pleasure to chat with. Since we did not know much about pianos, Steve kindly guided us through the showroom, giving us a glimpse of both upright and grand pianos, and even impressed us with his piano skills. When he introduced us to the W. Hoffmann V126 upright piano, it felt like love at first sight, and although we had not planned on buying one, I impulsively purchased it. Steve was considerate and worked with us to stay within our budget, making the entire transaction and delivery process smooth and stress-free. Once the piano arrived, my daughters were so ecstatic and cheerful to have a real instrument to practice on, and it has brought so much joy into our home. We are truly grateful to meet Steve, whose knowledge along with passion for the piano are notable, and we highly recommend him and Kim's Piano to anyone looking to rent or purchase a piano. The customer service is excellent as well as all the staff members are polite, kind, and respectful toward their clients.

    I would do it again! I bought a piano from Steve at Kim's Piano and I am very happy with the entire experience! Steve is a great salesman. I don't mean "salesman" in a negative way at all. He listened to my every word, showed me some options in my price range and after a while of me agonizing over which one I should get, he showed me the best one. He really nailed it! Not only was it exceedingly beautiful with its mahogany finish, but it also sounded great too! On top of all that, it's by a very reputable brand, Young Kim. I'm a beginner so I didn't have a big budget for a piano suitable for a pro, but I came out of Kim's very satisfied and eager to practice. Zero buyer's remorse! This thing blows away my keyboard! It sounds so good that it even makes me sound like a better player. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the delivery experience. The delivery boys arrived 5 mins early and were very professional. They very quickly moved Fredi (I named my piano after Frédéric Chopin. She loves Chopin.) into position. They took my directions very well and in no time, they were gone. Easy, peasy. Do yourself a favor and go see Steve. He's an excellent salesman, but an even better person. He'll treat you right and find you the piano you want.

    My family was looking into getting our first grand piano and walked into the store without any expectations. As soon as we walked in, the manager Benjamin was incredibly warm and welcoming and did not hesitate to show us a variety of options. The conditions of all of the pianos in the showroom were top notch, including new strings and a refinished look on the second-hand Yamaha we were looking at. Overall excellent service and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a piano.

    Steve Rivera helped me find and purchase my first real piano! He was so kind and attentive and incredibly patient as I went around the store playing model after model until I finally found my perfect match. Just got my piano delivered today and I just love it. Thank you!!! :)

    I loved working with Steve Rivera! He helped furnish our school's new theater with an amazing concert piano. The price was spectacular, and his help was invaluable. Steve was personable, knowledgeable, and excited to help us in any way he could. I look forward to working with him in the future!

    If you're in the market for a piano, then look no further, Kim's Piano is your place. Now I could "Liszt" a litany of reasons why this establishment is remarkable, such as inventory, however the staff is by and large the delineating factor. Each member possesses extensive knowledge of the instruments and their approachable candor enhances the shopping experience. From my first point of contact with Yuka, at the Industry store, to the Stanton store with Steve where I purchased my piano. Right away when I stepped foot in the store, Steve Rivera welcomed me as a friend, not just a patron. Intuitively, I realized his motivation was my satisfaction and meeting my needs, not just selling. As he provided a tour of the store and the respective items I was interested in, Steve also demonstrated the capabilities of the pianos for me. Which is important to me, since I'm still an infant in knowledge and ability. Even down to the financing, Steve alleviated any concerns and ensured me they would make it happen for me. Furthermore, the atmosphere encouraged exploration, and discovery which was a stark contrast to the plethora of other stores I visited. Other storefronts had a knack for hovering nearby, not allowing me to get acquainted with a piano. Which made the experience feel pushy and inauthentic. Whereas, Steve and even Mr. Kim himself would periodically check on me, be patient, and courteously answer any questions I had. For the owner to be involved in my purchasing process speaks volumes. To me, that displays a sense of concern and generosity. Now, I am proud to say I'm the owner of a gorgeously crafted Kawai CA 901 digital piano. After the diligent delivery and meticulous setup in my home, I can't keep my fingers off it. Even months after my purchase, I'm equally as elated as I was then. When you have the right environment, and staff, your purchase will be rewarding rather than burdensome. Again, I can't thank you enough for your exuberance, knowledge, and witticisms throughout our interaction Steve. It is for these distinguishable qualities that I will be "Bach". In the future, whether I reside in California or not, as I said, Kim's Piano is my one-stop-shop. Thank you for making this formative decision a smooth process.

    I am truly unhappy and very disappointed to say the least! I trusted David Hong with repairing my…read morepiano and this is the end result. I should have went with my gut feeling when he did not show me any proof of previous work on repairs that he's done. There are tons of black spray paint specs all over my keys. The repair was NOT sanded smoothly prior to paint as you can see in my photos. The top part is still a dent but painted over. This is not results of a professional. I will have to find someone else to clean up his mess! I would not recommend him to anyone and surprised at the review he has.

    In addition to a poor repair, the inspection process was not thorough. After showing the piano to…read moreanother technician, he played the piano and immediately mentioned that the feel of the keys were off. He pointed out the bridle straps (cords) are all broken. We paid David $150 to inspect this preowned piano prior to purchase, as I have no knowledge on piano inspections. To my dismay, he didn't even catch this. Had he told us this, we could have used this information to negotiate the price of the piano down. Knowledge is power. He also charged a $115 tuning fee, tested the piano and didn't notice that the keys felt off and that the cords were all broken. For someone with so much experience and had two opportunities to inspect this piano, David didn't even tell us about the broken cords. The technician we hired mentioned this the first time he looked at the piano. He also noticed the pitch was off. This technician also pointed out that the serial number didn't look authentic to the issue date. The piano was manufactured at an older date than what was presented. The Yamaha logo in the front is a decal. None of this was mentioned during the $150 inspection. For a piano expert, we are surprised none of this was communicated. Complete fail on attention to detail.
