After reading a lot of the reviews on yelp, I contacted Pooyah and am glad I did. He's very knowledgeable about pianos and didn't try to upsell us. We bought a used one for a reasonable price since my daughter is just learning to play the piano and we didn't want to invest in a brand new Yamaha piano. It also included tuning and delivery. Everything was great from beginning to in. Pooyah was flexible with our schedule to meet up at his showroom and the delivery time. Would definitely recommend him.

John Tudor gave us a tour of the place along with information & history on pianos. John's father learned his trade in Germany back in the days & passed on the knowledge & craftsmanship to the next generation. There are hundreds of pianos in this warehouse. Some are being restored & Some are being repaired. According to John. Most pianos nowadays are mass produced, & are made with a foam like material to cut cost down & weight. There's only 1 company left that makes pianos by hand & made with hard wood. Only 300 are produced yearly. John explains the difference in upright & Grand pianos. Within the upright, there's 3 different sizes. Upright pianos usually has 2 pedals. You may find some with 3 but it is not a Sostenuto pedal. It is a mute pedal. Sostenuto pedal is only found on Grand pianos. Steinway & Sons perfected this & patent it in 1847. It became a standard but is rarely used. There's only I piece (music) that has the usage of the Sostenuto pedal in play. The Grand Piano has several sizes & names. Baby Grand to Concert Grand! (Largest size, 9 ft long) Very informative tour. If you're looking to purchase a piano & would like a little bit of history & information on where to start in choosing the right piano for you or whom ever, give this place a try. They have "technicians" who could also tune your piano if you already own one.

There's a bit of bias here because Ivan Tudor and his crew happen to be my buddies-of-sorts…read more I'm not sure how useful this review would be aside from serving as a "shout-out" to let you Yelpers know about the existence of this place! Why? Because I'm not a fan of the piano as we know it today. This is Tudor's specialty--the repair, restoration, and sale of fine modern pianos (modern meaning post-1850 or so). He's won numerous awards for his work and has even repaired pianos owned by some very notable people. But anyway, let me tell you a little about why I like them so much. I repair harpsichords and early pianos as a hobby. Aside from his showroom, Ivan Tudor keeps a HUGE warehouse full of pianos from all periods in various stages of repair and disrepair. They're sort of my "piano junkyard" when I need a part for one of my projects. Several years ago, I bought every single harpsichord and fortepiano they had--totaling about seven or eight instruments in all. Evidently a few of them were movie props in the 1940s and 1950s because they had small metal plates on their undersides indicating they were the property of Warner Brothers. How cool is that? I actually found one of them--a piano from 1815--in a picture book of old pianos published in 1953 indicating the photo was furnished by the studio! Their on-site piano tuner and regulator, Vivian, does a very fine job and will come out to tune your piano for what I believe is a standard rate of $85. Voicing and other piano services are by quote. But yeah, the folks here are übercool and while I haven't made use of their restoration services or bought a high-end piano from them, I'd imagine that since this is their bread-and-butter business, they'd be just as accommodating in that regard as they are with my offbeat inquiries about obsolete instruments!

Chris was so patient with me as I came in three days in a row to find the best piano for my need. He spent time showing me various pianos and educate me on how to pick out a good one and the mechanisms behind the pianos and the history. I appreciated all of that. He showed me the Casio and a few others amazing sounding ones like the Schimmels. He showed me the back room where they restored pianos to bring them back to like new conditions. The works are done in house daily, so it gives me the peace of mind on the quality of the reconditioned pianos. He was flexible to work with me on figuring out the delivery, the payment. The piano I got was not one of the expensive ones, but I got the same patient and kind treatment as a high end client. I'll treasure this piano and the experience I had at the Piano Empire Megastore. He wasn't joking about he had the largest selections of piano and the lowest price! The hybrid casio I got was $1000 lower than being sold online. If you need a new or used pianos, I would definitely recommend coming here first. I also had some amazing conversations with his associate, Rod, who was so kind and knowledgeable. We talked about pianos, God and Jesus and life. Lola, his piano craftsman helped to figure out how to transport my brand new in-box piano in my car. He was creative! Overall, they make a good, strong team. I wish them a lot of success and blessings.

If you are a serious musician, I do not recommend James…read more He quoted me $300 for a tuning, well above the roughly $180 local market rate I had been seeing. Given the neighborhood and the piano, the pricing felt opportunistic. I specifically requested a well temperament. He was unable to do it and did not appear familiar with the temperament systems I was referring to, so no tuning was performed. I literally sent him home with an article on temperament tuning to read. I also asked him to investigate a buzz. He removed the action, found nothing, and was unable to diagnose the problem. He then tried to charge me $200 for simply removing and reinstalling the action. We eventually settled on $120 for the 45 minutes he spent at my house. So, to summarize: no tuning, no diagnosis, and a $200 attempted charge for pulling an action. For someone with a serious instrument or specific musical requirements, I would look elsewhere.

As the staff finished reassembling the piano, I heard music from the other room where I was working, and was delighted to see one of the staff playing the most skilled and beautiful music from the piano! It was then that I knew they had for sure moved the piano with care. They appreciate the beauty and art of it. Vladimir, the tech who played, came back a week later to provide a detailed cleaning, voicing and tuning. He taught me some aspects about how to care for the piano and clearly knew exactly what he was doing with the instrument. Very fairly priced and very high quality service. Couldn't recommend more!!
