Acoustic Pianos

Houston Piano Company has a wonderful display of traditional acoustic pianos by BECHSTEIN, YAMAHA, KAWAI, STEINWAY, BALDWIN, KNABE, WYMAN, HARDMAN, MASON & HAMLIN, HENRY MILLER, KOHLER & CAMPBELL, PEARL RIVER and many more.

New acoustic pianos are fun to buy and when money is not an issue, by all means check them all out. If you purchase an instrument with a ‘GOLDEN’ name you will have not just a nice instrument but a liquid and more valuable asset if you ever want to sell it or trade it.

Acoustic pianos are not like cars, toasters or other items that most consumers are used to buying. They are designed to last many generations and change very little in design if at all over many years.

Used pianos generally provide the best values in pianos. A quality acoustic piano has a useful life expectancy of 80 to 100 years. Paying considerably more for a new piano provides mostly that wonderful warm feeling you get paying 20 to 50% too much for any item. The rule of thumb is 1. if it plays good …sounds good…..looks good 2. you have it checked out by someone that knows pianos …you just might have yourself a sweet deal. Also, it is nice to get delivery , tuning and a warranty and a full value trade up option from a reputable dealer.

American style verticals
Whether you want a graceful french style or something more modern you can find it at our stoszre in the Heights. Professional uprights (47” to 52” in height). We offer the largest selection of professional upright pianos in the Houston trade area, often at half the prices that the freeway dealers offer.

Don't confuse better value with a bigger ego trip for the owner. Generally, a smaller locally owned operation can offer the best values in pianos. A hands on dealer / owner is far more in tune with your long term satisfaction and his concern far outlasts the commission check.

A simple rule of thumb is:
1. Take a look at the monster store on the freeway with the large chandeliers.
2. Understand that someone has to pay for that huge occupancy cost.
3. Determine if you want to participate financially in the dealers poor choice of how to keep costs down for the consumer. Normally you will never see, much less talk to, the owner of the monster store. You are talking to someone that may or may not still be employed there next week.
