It felt like a true one-on-one consultative experience in which Jason spent plenty of time demoing different options for us to hear while also providing informative feedback on differences between the models. Further, as a beginner player, Jason also recommended a few good resources to help aid in acceleration of the learning curve via books and local teachers. We ultimately opted for the Kawai KDP120 and are very happy with the purchase in terms of the level of service we received and the sound quality of the piano. AZ Piano prices were also better than any advertised sales online so electing to purchase from AZ Piano felt like a win-win experience. Jason loaded the boxed piano right into the truck for us and setup was a simple process once we got it home. I will be back in the future for any upgrades and would recommend AZ Piano for anyone interested in upgrading their current piano or purchasing their first.

I purchased a brand new Kawaii K500. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. I was able…read moreto spend time (over an hour) playing and comparing pianos in a stress free environment.

All are polished and ready to fill your hearts and home with beautiful music. I recently had the opportunity to speak and work with Drake Brown whose knowledge of pianos is exceptional. He shared with me that they have the largest collection of Steinways in the US. Not only do they offer brand new pianos but also pre-owned. 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.

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.

As a classical pianist and an amateur piano technician I have to say that Stilwell pianos is one of…read morethe most honest Piano Stores I've ever worked with. Like any used piano, there are always things that are great about the piano and some things that need to be fixed or worked on. Amongst their fantastic selection of serious pianos I have found that they have been very straightforward with the quality of the instruments and what has been done to rebuild/restore on them and at the same time they are honest with you when there are things that need to be fixed or replaced on an instrument before you buy. It's not a common thing to see in this industry and I was very happy to see that kind of honesty. A close friend of mine was looking to purchase a grand piano with Stillwell and I helped her pick one iut, and in doing so I had a hard time picking one specific instrument out of the many great options they had available. Push forward to about six months and I decided to upgrade to a newer Steinway model B and I can honestly say with my knowledge of these instruments that I received a fantastic deal for an instrument that will satisfy my needs for many many years to come. Take your time in looking at any piano you buy and ask any questions you may have and they will answer them and make sure you make a well informed decision on your purchase.

Guitars are largely in the…read moreFender and Gibson realm; a huge variety of them, but limited other selections and not so many alternate brands. They try to do much in a limited space, and mostly, that works. Their wind and violin/viola/cello/bass/etc space is really nice, and their acoustical guitar and bass sections are strong. The keyboards area is sort of scrunched together but top brands and a bit of variety. I liked their synths, although not a crazy variety. Prices I heard seemed a bit higher, but there is added value here, too. Huge sheet music section. Much wind instrument variety, as well as mouthpieces, reeds/ligatures/etc. It has the widest and broadest inventory I've seen in Arizona. Worth a visit; musicians will appreciate the variety.

Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!

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.

Turns out also the Gemeinhardt was being borrowed from her cousin. So I asked Mike for his recommendation for a concert flute. While my granddaughter is a freshman, she is lead flutist for the high school. Mike said he sold Di Zhao. We did a lot of comparison shopping and testing, but ultimately it was up to my granddaughter, as Mike said, because she knows what she likes in playing and the sound. Most schools recommend Yamaha. My granddaughter decided on the Di Zhao. She got an 801 BEF for a great price. Most importantly I could tell Mike liked musical kids! I watched him interact as they brought their instruments in for repair. I cannot thank him enough for the time, knowledge and courtesy in taking care of three problems for my granddaughter. Plus his pricing is unbelievably fair.
