Thank you Bananas, for being my one stop shop for everything musical.

December 30, 2021: I have literally been researching, auditioning and shopping for a digital piano…read moresince September 2020. Most musical instrument retailers have floor samples of the big three: Roland, Yamaha, Casio. All of those I tried didn't satisfy for various and personally important reasons. Mostly like the keyboard didn't feel like an acoustic piano or the simulated piano sounds were too fake electronic. Was motivated to visit as Stanroy is a Kawai digital piano authorized seller which no other local sellers carry. I've been an occasional Stanroy customer since 1973. In the dark distant past I have purchased guitars, amplifiers, percussion instruments, even a few real German made pear wood recorders. But it's been decades since my last purchase. Was always satisfied with the shopping and purchasing process. Today, played the Kawai KDP-120 digital piano. Keyboard action feels like a "real" piano. The sound models are remarkably pleasing. Close your eyes and you'd be hard pressed to hear that it's digital. The construction is solid. Industry reputation for reliability is excellent. MSRP for the piano is $1599. Stanroy price = $1199. Sold! Nice folks. Stanroy is a real musical instrument store in that they sell and service orchestral instruments. Only place in Sonoma County you can buy a trombone, trumpet, piccolo or French horn. All the other shops (which I also love) are basically electric guitar stores with amps, a few synthesizer keyboards , DJ tables, PA systems, one drum set, and the panoply of electronic gizmos for rock n' rollers. Stanroy, it's been too long since my previous visit until today. I promise not to stay away too long again. Highest recommendation.

He uses an app to benchmark keys and sets relative tones with his years and using the app. * he showed up exactly on time * he spent over 1.5 hours meticulously checking every string per key * played the piano for a while to see the effect on tuning after some play time, and re-tuned some keys * I also got to hear one of my favorite pieces played by a professional musician * Price was reasonable for the length of time spent Although it may appear you can tun a piano with a wrench and an app, you will never get it just right as apps have issue with resonance often, are unable to check for relative pitch, and usually miss the beginning of the first and the end of the last octave. His approach is from the perspective of a player, not a technician/repair person. I highly recommend the service, and would be going back for periodic tunes.
