One place decided it no longer moves pianos (diva), another (Kaster in Stratford) took 12 days to get back to us (lazy). And even then said they don't "just move pianos." We contacted New England. They got back to us quickly, told us it would be $400, we set a date, and they did it. This ain't rocket science. The guys were on time, alerted us before their arrival, were careful with the instrument and our house, and delivered it without incident. They were very nice and courteous. What more can you ask? If we ever needed a firm to move anything, we would call them

I had been to several piano stores, but the gentlemen here are no doubt the most down to earth piano dealers in the area. I felt that they listened to the type of instrument and sound I was looking for and did not try to sway me to their profit. Moreover, they take their time and do not rush you to pick something immediately. They realize its a savory process, especially if you are true music aficionados. The owner of Faust appreciates music, and keeps that integrity in their business. It is important to feel right when spending this amount of money. I have no regrets going with these folks, and you will not either! They have my business for years to come...

Francesco was so lovely to meet and work with. My son, who was nine at the time, had just started…read moreplaying piano. We wanted to purchase a good instrument, but not break the bank. Francesco took a lot of time (over several visits) to educate us about the brands he carried in the store, what makes a high quality instrument, what to look for. He never pressured us or steered us towards a higher priced/higher quality instrument and he agreed with us that we should start slowly and then, if we needed to, trade up for a higher quality piano later. In fact, he made the decision very easy for us. We purchased a good middle-level piano, and when my son needs more instrument, Francesco will buy back our current piano for what we paid for it, and help us trade up for a higher quality instrument. How could we go wrong?! Also, two free tunings with the new piano, which is a great deal. He came and delivered it to us, advised us on the care of the instrument, and has always been very available to us. He wants to be sure you are really happy with your purchase. He really knows his stuff and is a pleasure to work with. Please give this business a call if you are in the market for a piano, or are in need of a tuning. Our piano teacher has two gorgeous grand pianos in her home and she said she ONLY trusts Francesco to tune them. She said his tunings are extremely reasonably priced and he does an EXCELLENT job.

Great experience purchasing my next piano thru Caruso Piano Gallery in New London, CT I could not…read morefind what I was looking for locally, so I began my online research and found it at Caruso. For the first time in my life I would consider purchasing a refurbished 1974 Yamaha 48" U1 Black Satin piano 1900 miles away. WOW. I wasn't sure I could do this, but proceeded after reading many great reviews and the four star reconditioning service with 21 point certification offered by Caruso. This included full cabinet restoration as well in black satin. And, after visiting with Richard Caruso thru phone calls and emails, I was sent a video demonstration made by one of their pianist of two I could choose from. I also chose the Piano Life Saver (humidity control) system to be installed by Caruso as well. So, my choice was made, the LS system installed and piano prepped for shipping. Thus, we started the process of long-haul from New London, CT to Denver, CO. After a delay in trucking service availability from New London to its first destination in Kentucky, the Caruso company decided to deliver a load there themselves. Once in Kentucky, my piano was in storage for a short while before it began its journey to Denver. Once in Denver, Caruso suggested delivery to my city of Colorado Springs using Keyboard Carriers. Working with Brittany Caruso, the whole process was flawless. My piano arrived at Keyboard Carriers in perfect condition and after a short wait they were able to deliver to my home. This was an experience that I would do again and I highly recommend working with the Caruso family. Thank you, CPG! My journey began on June 6, 2022 with delivery to my home on August 2, 2022 (not bad at all for a Summer delivery with long-haul shortages) Photos of my new beauty are below.

Purchasing a piano is, for most people, a once in a lifetime occurrence. So it becomes even more…read moreimportant that the store that you make this buying decision meets all of your needs- an adequate inventory of a variety of pianos, knowledgeable and professional sales staff, and a reputation for years of quality sales and service. Caruso's Piano Gallery meets all of the above criteria! Caruso's has a nice inventory of pianos, both uprights and grands. And most major brands are represented- Steinway, Yamaha, Bosendorfer, Baldwin, etc. They have both new and pre-owned models. The showroom is nicely laid out, and encourages you to sit down and try the pianos out. The sales people are attentive but not intrusive- if you ask for assistance they are more than happy to help, but if you wish to be left alone to experiment, they are just as glad to do that also. They are knowledgeable on the idiosyncrasies of the piano brands, but encourage you to decide which piano suits your taste the best. Pricing is competitive- in fact, it appears that their prices are better than some other stores. They offer financing and flexible payment options. Local delivery is included in the price, and delivery can be scheduled for as little as a few days out. I highly recommend Caruso's if you are looking for a piano. You can be assured that you will receive great service, as well as a great piano!
