Mercedes cost more than
Fords because they're better cars. Way, way better.
Better materials, better design, better quality control,
higher standards of manufacture. No contest.
A Chinese-manufactured 5' grand
piano that you buy for $4500 at Costco or your local
Piano Warehouse or Piano Discounts or whatever, is going
to be, however long it lasts, a PSO,* a POS,**or both.
The reason a Fazioli
6-footgrand costs $65,000 retail is because it's a
custom-designed, hand built instrument that
sounds and feels incredibly good. It's worth every penny
to the right person. It's a world away from more
commercially inspired and produced pianos, as are many
other hand-built instruments ---Mason & Hamlin,
Steinway (certainly the Hamburg pianos;
American Steinways are a special case) Bechstein,
Bosendorfer, Steingraeber & Sons, Shigeru Kawai, Yamaha
"S" and "CF" series pianos, to name some that I love and
respect.

THERE ARE NO
STUPID QUESTIONS
Good pianotechs LOVE questions; don't
be afraid to ask any piano question that comes up. As a
friend of mine, Roger Jolly, says, "Triple A,
baby." That means Always An Apprentice.
Buddhists call it the student's mind. You never,
ever stop learning about pianos. If a pianotech
tells you he or she knows all there is about something,
it's a big red flag.
GOLDEN RULE
Hire A Piano
Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you.
This is the basis and inspiration for
my business; respect and honestly are what I want and
what I give.
