He educated me and helped me find something within my price range that would fit my family's needs. I felt very confident in my purchase, communication was great, the piano was delivered and placed carefully and thoughtfully, and it was tuned in my home as included with the purchase. My whole family has been very pleased with this investment!

The movers themselves were friendly and professional. They showed up on time, checked out the path the piano would have to move, set up ramps and positioned the truck lift outside. We live on a small one way city street so I appreciated that the movers found a place off the street so traffic could still flow freely. No complaints at all. Fair pricing (I compared quotes from multiple complained each time). The piano was in good hands.

I've been working with David over the past few years to keep my upright Baldwin in shape, and he…read morehas consistently delivered high quality work. He is very communicative, always punctual, meticulous, and fully prepared to handle any piano-related needs. Not long ago, I had a sticking key and a squeaky pedal in my piano, and he successfully fixed both issues on top of tuning the piano to perfection. He treats each instrument as if it was his own, and he is clearly passionate about what he does. Lastly, David is friendly, easy to work with, and very reliable. If I owned a piano store or a concert venue, he's exactly the kind of person I'd trust with all the maintenance work. Highly recommend!

As far as the repairs go I went in to have a simple set up for a bass that I had purchased and I figured since it's super close I would give it a try. When I described wanting the action adjusted on the bass they said I didn't know what I was talking about and still felt the need to charge me for looking at it....steer clear.

We purchased my dream piano here about a decade ago after two years of shopping between Chicago and…read moreCarmel. In the following years, Northside has proved they have no desire to maintain quality service, hold to any professionalism or attention to detail, nor any attempt at remedying serious flaws even after my rather pointed Google review, which added up more likes than over 1000 other reviews I've done; seems to me this place takes full advantage of customers. This is too obvious in Northside getting most of their negative Google reviews removed. How could any business go for ignoring legitimate complaints rather than responding and proving their goals to improve? It is beyond me. But I digress. We paid very handsomely for a Kawaii K50E Anniversary Edition studio upright. It is still a beauty! Cannot fault the Japanese as the world's greatest craftsman but I certainly can Northside for their full failure to keep to any warranty needs and hilarious mess in tuning services. The first winter as the air dried out, two treble clef keys started making quite audible strained cracking noises during play. I took to Northside's polite pawn sent over still went behind the ears. After she did things and worked the other keys, she admitted she did not know how to fix the issues. Well maybe I'm too aggressive for basic customer support on expensive goods but it felt odd to pay for an incomplete job yet we did, reminded Northside to please send out a capable human for the next tune to sort out the odd tink noises. To this day I can't fathom why you'd rave about what an amazing piano you just sold me and months later send out your tuning tyke who is not trained for the very piano you championed! Here's where it gets good, we were informed we could not use another tuning service in order to maintain the factory warranty through Northside. At the same time, they mentioned then would, then never did use the warranty when the gold finish rubbed off on a pedal. I believe what happened there was good ole fashioned blackmail: you casually threaten loss of services for which there's no intention to provide anyway. The next tuning, guess who showed up? Another high schooler. Finally the third time the actual owner partner guy appears and ruffles all his feathers talking nonstop and spouting salesman's odes to intellect: still did not fix the issues. The next winter my keys were super annoying again which can be heard in my YouTube videos. Let's take a break, because there might be some excuse for my woes if the store experience offered any redeeming charm. Yet take a stop by this State Street downtown house store with the forever "sale" sign stuck out front, trot up the steps and note there's a regulated entry. It is locked. Ring the bell and wait, sometimes quite a while, the maid eventually opens the door. I was actually asked one time "what do you want?" Like really? "Oh I'm sorry I'd like a Strawberry Frosty! Wait, isn't this Wendy's?" What a joke. I can confirm the afforementioned deleted negative reviews are still true. The people here do not seem in touch with general consumer moods or willing to provide experienced responses. Need a keyboard or piano? Try any other store, eBay, Meridian Music, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, all easier to deal with than Northside. It feels a little guilty putting down a local business; but after a decade of sneaky games and pompous nonsense this feels right on. I highly recommend Kevin Cooney for tuning. He showed up and diagnosed my troubled treble keys and mended them without any obnoxious attitude. I waited for Northside to fix their own piano they sold me for a decade and some local guy named Kevin did it in forty minutes.
