Steinway pianos are considered the elite pianos, where the main competition for a new Steinway piano is not a competitor, but rather a pre-owned Steinway piano. Although one of the last piano makers in the U. Steinway continues to thrive because of the enduring quality of each Steinway piano made. Each handcrafted Steinway piano has over 12,000 mechanical parts and, when assembled by expert technicians over the course of a year, the Steinway piano is both elegant and tonally gorgeous. Steinway piano designs are timeless, with many of their current model scale designs being over 100 years old. Even 100+ year old Steinway pianos play today, although these pianos had to withstand incredibly harsh and inconsistent indoor conditions for most of the 1900s. Now with climate-controlled homes and central air conditioning, Steinway pianos made, or properly restored, after 1990 may conceivably last 200 years in current home environments. Although Steinway prices are high compared to other pianos, Steinway pianos have enduring value over time, much more so than other pianos. Picarzo Pianos Welcome Video.

My wife and I both play well and we wanted something with a higher quality feel and sound, but we couldn’t find a piano we were completely happy with, which caused us to start looking online. I considered flying down to take a look at the piano myself, but Mike was so knowledgeable and helpful that he was able to answer many dozens of questions through dozens of emails to the point that I felt reassured that I had all the information I needed. Mike also arranged for an independent piano technician to take a look at the piano, including the condition of the action and keys and everything else, which just further showed that this piano was in great condition and was the ideal choice for me. Mike also gave a good price for such a nice piano I know because I looked at a lot of pianos that cost almost as much yet were not nearly as good! Mike very carefully wrapped and packaged the piano for moving, and when the piano arrived a few weeks later, the local movers (to whom the piano had been transferred by the national carrier) had prematurely removed his padding and wrapping, which resulted in a scratch on the leg of the piano and some minor damage to one of the pedals. I was a bit panicked at first, but Mike immediately jumped on the issue, getting a professional repairman to come by that week who made everything look as good as new, as well as a piano technician who made sure everything was tuned and in good working order. In the end, the piano is strikingly beautiful and has a wonderful feel and all the high-quality sound I was hoping for– looking back I’m not sure how I ever would have been so satisfied with a piano if it weren’t for Mike. I was extremely impressed with his helpfulness and attentiveness through the whole process and would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality pianos.

He is not interested in simply making a sale, he truly strives to match each instrument with the best home.
