My Situation: After a move, my Roland keyboard began having issues with the sound output being…read moremuffled and fuzzy. My Experience: I found DC&D through Roland's website as a certified repair shop, and I called them to see if I needed an appointment. The receptionist was very friendly and told me to bring in the keyboard whenever I was in the neighborhood. I dropped off the keyboard and described the problem to the receptionist, and she took down notes and told me she would call once the technician diagnosed the problem. Within a couple days, I received a phone call from her asking me to come in. When I returned to the store, the technician met with me and informed me of the embarrassing reason for the sound issues. Apparently through my move, the Roland power supply had been swapped with another power supply that uses the same plug but has a different voltage output. I was using the wrong power supply without my knowledge. He said that he checked things out and that no damage had been done to the circuit board. When I went to pay the receptionist, she and the technician refused my money. I explained that I felt responsible to pay them for their time diagnosing the issue, but they wouldn't accept my money. I left happy to know that honest merchants are still around, although I still wish they let me pay. Concluding Opinion: If you require the service of a piano shop, I highly recommend giving DC&D your business. We need businesses like this around, and if they were so generous and understanding with me, I can only imagine that they treat paying customers the same way. I only wish I knew more people with pianos so that I could personally help them get more business.

It has taken me much to long to get this review done! Had Carl come to look at a 1926 player piano…read morethat we inherited. Not good news! It was badly out of tune because of a major issue with the straps that control all the hammers for the 88 keys had rotted and fallen off! There was also a crack 8n 5he sound board. The major components of the player part were in really good condition. We decided that the piano held many cherished family memories and proceeded with the repairs. It took several long 8 hour sessions along with our assistance for the job to be completed. The entire piano was taken apart to access the hammers and sound board. We left plenty of time between sessions for us to refinish all the wood while it was apart. We could not be happier with the finished results! It sounds awesome thanks to Carl and looks good too after all our hard work refinishing along with tips from Carl. He has been back twice to tune and we will hav3 him back yearly to keep the piano in shape. I highly recommend Carl for tuning, repairs and he also gives music lessons. Not only does he provide awesome service but he is a very remarkable person!

We recently had our 90-year old baby grand piano restored and refurbished by Joe and his team, and…read morethey did an incredible job! It was in decent condition originally, but needed total refinishing on the outside and a good chunk of work on the inside. Joe and his team coordinated moving it across states and did a phenomenal job restoring this family heirloom. We couldn't be more happy with how it turned out and would recommend Illos Piano to anyone that asks!

This review is only for Illos' piano moving service--I'm sure that they do other things well, but…read morecan't speak to that. I had been looking for months to find a pump organ in Buffalo and when I did needed someone to pick it up and take it to my apartment in North Park. Illos took all my info by phone (type and size of instrument, stairs, entrances, etc.) and then gave me a quote that was a hundred bucks cheaper than anyone else I spoke with. Come moving day, they were at the pickup location right at the beginning of the scheduled window, had it loaded up before I even realized they were there, glued some damage that they hadn't caused in order to stabilize a part, and then met me back at my apartment. There, they assessed the three possible ways in, got the organ up a half flight of stairs without having to take the railing off, loaded her onto a dolly, and had her where I wanted within minutes. I am so glad that I paid pros instead of trying to move a heavy, fragile, 140-year-old musical instrument myself. Booking, communication, and service were all excellent. And I got this.

This is all I want from a moving company and only the first time I've seen it happen. We'll definitely be using them again.

While I've known of this store and the Piorkowskis for some time, it's only within the last year that I've become a customer. Both of my daughters have begun lessons here, on piano and guitar. The staff is extremely accommodating, matching the student with the most suitable instructor. They will ask if you're serious about formal training, or would rather take a more casual approach. They will also work with you to accommodate your scheduling needs. The current rate is $16 per half hour, which is very reasonable. Payment is due at each lesson. If you have to cancel and can give at least 24 hours, you won't be charged, and you'll be offered a makeup date if you'd like one. The joint is always jumping - there will likely be at least a dozen students across two floors. It can get cacophonous in the waiting room, but the energy level is inspiring. I might just take up some lessons for myself.

Not only was he affordable and accommodating (other local companies wanted well over $200!), but he was prompt, professional and personable. He spent just over an hour, answered all our questions and informed us about our particular instrument. Bonus: upon completion, he regaled us with a performance (possibly Bach's Prelude in C Major, BWV 846, from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1?). Of course we recommend tipping him for the exceptional work at a super cheap price, the professionalism, the performance, and because of the lengthy travel distance. Highly recommend him.
