What an amazing Yamaha dealership. Once I decided what I wanted to purchase (Yamaha CLP845), I…read morecontacted NextGen Pianos to 'check them out'. Wow! Everyone I spoke with at the store was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Josh offered a couple of options for purchasing, with one being interest-free financing. And then they told about their free shipping, no state sales tax (for my state) .... and, oh, by the way, how about a FREE set of Yamaha Professional headphones? I live 2 states away from Next Gen Pianos, but delivery was fast and professional. Within 5 calendars after purchase, I was playing my new piano. Considering the great price Josh offered, free shipping, free headphones, and no sales tax, I saved about $800 purchasing from Next Gen Pianos, and both the piano and headphones arrived in perfect condition. And let me add a couple of 'notes' about Yamaha and the CLP845. the quality of the piano (including the packaging) is impeccable. As a 78-year-old piano student, I could tell within a week after purchase that I was learning faster than on my acoustic piano. The CLP845 has scores of features, but two that are helping me immensely are (1) the ability to adjust the tempo on the sample songs, as well as the songs that I upload; and (2) the ability to have the piano play only the left or right-hand music. I can have the piano play the left hand, for example, while I work on difficult passages for the right hand. Alternatively, I can play "on top of" the piano. In other words, let it play the right hand of Pachelbel's Canon (for example), with me trying to play exactly the same thing. I can set the speed at whatever I want; and, if I hear two pianos playing at the same time, then I know I'm not playing correctly. When I cannot hear a 2nd piano playing, I know I'm playing exactly as the piano is playing. What an amazing tool for learners! (p.s., The entire set of "Hanon in All Keys" is already stored on the piano. For those, I play "on top of" the piano, again, trying to play correctly so that I only hear one piano.)

Next Gen Pianos goes above and beyond to answer any questions a customer may have-before during and after the purchase.

They allowed me to make an offer; worked with me on my price range; and the delivery was pretty good too (they contract deliveries with other companies.) I don't dream of owning "things," typically, but it has been my long-time dream to own a grand piano, and Stilwell made that happen for us!

One word - exquisite…read more I've been playing my whole life and I'm an actively gigging musician. I grew up with a baby grand in my home and planned to purchase my own instrument when I grew up. That day finally came a few years ago at Stilwell Pianos. Acoustic pianos are incredibly complex analog instruments that are sensitive to changes in temperature, moisture, and numerous other factors. Because of this, it's impossible to pick a piano just by brand and model if you're specific about the action (touch) and intonation (sound). For experienced players, you have to play it to know if it's the one. I went to several stores in town. Most were staffed with pushy sales guys trying to land a Steinway sale using every trick in the book to create urgency and assume the sale. This bullshit doesn't fly with me and ruins the journey. I first visited Stilwell at their old location. Michael introduced himself, inquired what I was looking for, and let me explore on my own. No tactics, no pressure selling, etc. It took probably 4 trips over 6ish months before he had the right inventory for what I wanted. The buying process was straightforward from there and they used Max Piano Moving (best guys in town) for transport. Whether you're a seasoned professional or looking for your child's first piano, can't recommend these guys enough.

All this research worked out quite well for me, because I eventually encountered the Riverton Piano Company in Scottsdale where I ultimately purchased a beautiful Petrof upright piano. It was a superlative buying experience. Howard was a tremendous representative of Riverton Piano and very helpful in my decision making process. He possessed a wide knowledge of various piano technologies and manufacturers all the while conveying a congenial, professional attitude. Howard provided detailed pros and cons of various models and made several suggestions that well-suited my needs and budget. His communication, whether verbal or via email/text, was exemplary. When there was a slight issue with the delivery, Howard also seamlessly arranged for a very satisfactory resolution of the issue. I highly recommend the Riverton Piano Company.

I was moving out of state and needed to put my piano on consignment which I did with The Piano Store. Unbelievable experience. Drake was extremely easy to work with in assisting me with this pain free process. I can't say enough about this piano showroom and Drake Brown. If you're in the market for a new or pre owned piano go directly to The Piano Store. I guarantee you there is no other store that has the selection and additional services in all of Arizona!! Please ask to speak to Drake Brown and enjoy the experience.

Hands down the BEST experience I've ever had shopping for pianos. I was an avid player when I was…read moreyounger but lots of moves and just life in general kept me from playing much. As such, I'm no longer confident about my playing skills. Combined with my severe carpal tunnel, I just don't get to play much in general even more, even though I own a piano. But Bob, the manager on duty, was SO NICE! He wasn't pushy and was super accommodating. To me, while sound is important, the most important thing was making sure I could find a piano that was easier on my hands and fingers to make sure I could keep playing despite the ever-present hand and wrist pain I have. He helped me find the exact acoustic piano I needed for my lifestyle and budget and even taught me about things that had changed since the last time I went shopping for pianos years ago! I am confident that I'll be back to purchase the piano I found today. When asked upfront, I even clearly stated I wasn't going to purchase for a few months. And it didn't matter! He took the time to show me around the store and the pianos specifically that would help me keep playing and teach my son. Thanks, Bob and Southwest Pianos!!! You made my day! I'll never recommend anyone else!

I turned on my heels and said Good Day, Sir, and as I was exiting the store, he yelled after me "we have a used Yamaha grand piano for sale." That's a sale that he lost.

Since their HUGE music store is in Mesa and we live in Glendale the best part was we used their online rental service and they had an option to pick up the saxophone rental and violin rental at one of their 23 partner rental stores all over Maricopa County or one of their Educational Representatives could drop it off at the school for us.

As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.
