Most recently, I purchased a Yamaha G2 grand piano, and Leonard offered it at an excellent price--truly unbeatable for the quality and condition of the instrument. His knowledge is exceptional; he took the time to walk me through the details, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure I felt completely confident in my purchase. Beyond his expertise, Leonard is genuinely personable and a pleasure to work with. There was never any pressure--just honest guidance and a sincere desire to match me with the right piano. The entire process was smooth, professional, and enjoyable from start to finish.

I love and play the piano SO much and wanted to give this place a try and see what they had in store for me. I walked in on Friday, March 27th and was greeted by 2 of their employees that were nice, kind and helpful. They wanted to know what was it that I needed? I just wanted to see what my options were. With that being said, I started to play on few of their pianos, but didn't really get to the point of purchase. They have a variety of pianos: to rent, sell, they also come to your house or wherever that you have the instrument and will tune it for you for a reasonable cost. Also have movers to help you move your piano. This visit was mainly to check out and see what they had. Since I live in an apartment, our landlord doesn't allow us to have any musical instruments in the building. What a BUMMER!! They do financing and will work out a plan with you and negotiate a price for you. If and when I ever move into a house, I will definitely keep this place in mind. They've been established since 1928. By appointment only and the sale was going on March 27-29. Hours of operation is 10AM to 6PM. Don't know much about their parking situation, because I parked outside on the street.

He was incredibly warm, patient, and professional during both of our visits. He truly listened to my mother's needs and used his expertise to help her select a brand-new Baldwin piano that was not only perfect in quality but also came with a fantastic discount. We also had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, who was very friendly. He shared some wonderful stories about his past business trips to Shanghai, which made the atmosphere feel very personal and welcoming. The entire process was seamless--we purchased the piano over the weekend, and it was delivered to our home this past Monday. The delivery team was punctual and professional. Highly recommend Hollywood Piano if you are looking for quality instruments and heartfelt service!

Yvonne is an exceptional pianist and music instructor. Professional, excellent communication, inspiring, engaging, and extremely sensitive to your child's individual needs. She is highly observant and takes the time to feel out your child's personality. Her teaching method is gentle, yet strict. A great balance I expect from the perfect music instructor. My daughter is a very artistic and creative soul and Yvonne has helped nurture that side of her character. Yvonne has even helped her compose her own opus, which she proudly performs for us at family gatherings! I have witnessed my daughter's confidence blossom over the years and I believe Ms. Yvonne's encouragement had something to do with it. Highly recommended. Yvonne is wonderful to work with.

Ms. Yvonne's teaching is energetic, engaging and effective, as I observed from a piano mom's point of view. She also has many ways to train students and keep up their interest, such as mini recital, playing movie songs and peer assistance etc. Ms. Yvonne has high standards, but is not as forceful as a typical piano mom. She understands a typical piano mom's frustration and is very kind to offer help when needed. Plus her studio is very neat and inviting. I just feel fortunate to have her as my son's piano teacher. I hope you will feel the same as you embark on the journey of your child's piano study with Ms. Yvonne.

We feel very fortunate to have found the perfect Kawai piano at German Piano City. The owner,…read moreEdison, and his wife, Yuki, are friendly, approachable, and genuinely customer-oriented. They introduced their products honestly and professionally, without putting any pressure on us to make a purchase. Based on our needs and budget, they recommended a high-quality piano at a very reasonable price. The store also included a complimentary piano bench, free delivery to our home, and a free tuning service. It was truly a one-stop professional experience that made our purchase both enjoyable and worry-free. In addition, all pianos come with a 10-year warranty, which gave us even greater peace of mind. Edison is highly skilled in piano technology and tuning. After he tuned our piano, the tone became even more beautiful, rich, and expressive. We highly recommend that anyone looking to purchase a piano visit German Piano City in Temple City. You will receive professional service, excellent value, and a truly satisfying piano-buying experience.

Mr. Armin is a wonderful teacher, treating young children with exceptional patience and kindness. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her piano lessons, and each week, mastering one or two pieces instills in her a sense of accomplishment and confidence. The center also hosts recitals, providing opportunities for students to showcase their talents in front of a supportive audience. John and Sisilia, the owners, are a fantastic couple who exude a genuine passion for music and wholeheartedly support musical education. I highly recommend this music center to anyone interested in nurturing their musical talents.

Both kids have learned a lot about themselves and the importance of practice and perseverance especially when pieces might be hard for them... not just piano lessons, life lessons!

We've had a great business relationship with this string instrument shop, and our experience has always been excellent. The owner was a professional violinist with a symphony orchestra before retiring and opening his shop, so he truly knows violins and string instruments inside and out.

We have referred many students and families to his shop, and they have always been very happy with both the instruments and the service they received.

I highly recommend going to Garron for any of your Piano needs and I hope him and his business is around when I eventually plan to upgrade to a baby grand.

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.
