I…read morecame in search of a rehearsal piano with very specific requirements: something suitable for a rental situation, capable of silent practice with headphones, yet--above all--an instrument with genuinely good action. As a pianist returning to conservatory-level study after years of gigging, proper action is not a luxury for me; it is the foundation upon which all serious work is built. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hybrid pianos offered at Classic Pianos. The hammer action is responsive, musical, and deeply satisfying--impressively close to an acoustic experience. While nothing replaces a grand, this instrument is an outstanding solution for a renter needing rigorous daily practice and keeping one's technique in shape. Hui was a pleasure to work with throughout the process: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely attentive. She made everything easy and stress-free from start to finish. Since the piano arrived, I've been playing far more than I intended--which may be the clearest sign that the right choice was made. Classic Pianos did such a good job that my neighbors may soon need to leave them a review as well.

The salesman/manager was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Their rental program applies the 1st year of rent toward purchase of the piano, should you decide to go that route. They also do the moving and the initial tuning of the piano. We tried Prosser's and Kennelly Keys, but they are more geared toward selling pianos, not renting.

I was looking for Yamaha U-3 for my daughter. I visited another store and I found a cheaper U-3 there. After that, I visited Northwest Pianos with my daughter and met Terry. He was such a gentleman, he spend quite time to explain about the pianos. I was impressed by his knowledge and love for the pianos. I could have chosen another cheaper piano, but I trusted Terry so much, I decided to buy U-3 he recommended most. On the day I bought it, it was already after 6pm. ( store closes at 6.) He didn't care about time and spend some time to finish all the paperworks. He also gave me a discount and a free tuning certificate ! My daughter and I have been playing this piano and we love it ! It is like new condition and has really beautiful sound. I am truly happy I chose Northwest Pianos. I strongly recommend this store whoever interested buying a nice piano!

I decided to check them out, emailed their owner Ken and I set up a time to meet their Sales person - Yelena. Yelena was very nice to play a number of pianos for me and we finalized on one and She gave me a good price (We did go to and forth a bit, but in the end She gave me a great deal). Before I came here, I checked other stores in Bellevue for pianos and their prices was almost 30% more (maybe because of the high Bellevue rent). Delivery was smooth and they always kept me updated. I am thankful to Yelp and Google for helping me find Stage 7. I would strongly recommend anybody buying a piano to go buy in Stage 7. Also during the sale when I was browsing, I felt no pressure to buy a specific piano. Yelena gave me her feedback and left me to decide. In addition I did check with another Customer on the store and it did match the feedback given by Yelena. When I upgrade, I will go back to Stage 7 and upgrade. Finally I like the All Inclusive price which includes Tax, delivery, bench and 1 free tuning. It let me straight away to know, what I needed to pay.

I called ahead to ask if I can bring in my trumpet for an estimate for services. 2. I got there, got an estimate for services. I was also informed that I would be notified if the cost would be greater. 3. I did get a phone call that the trumpet for the most part was done but there were other issues (which I knew existed when I first had it over two decades ago) which could be resolved but it'd cost extra. I agreed to it. I figured if I'm going to get it serviced, I should just pay to get it serviced in full and the right way. The communications were timely and transparent. Looking around the place reminds you of a music store Mr. Rogers would have visited. I'm happy there is a brick-and-mortar shop that still performs this craft of repairing instruments. Also, out of all the years I've played this old Yamaha trumpet, it never played so great as it does now. It pays to have a professional service. Of note, best time to go here is in the morning if you drive because there's a good chance you'll find free 2 hour parking.
