Got to help one of my favorite people, Grandma Loi
Got to help one of my favorite people, Grandma Lois, get her first grand piano. There’s no one who deserves it more. This sweet lady plays at funerals, weddings, and churches all around Grand Rapids. She’s so friendly, and giving, and compassionate, and somehow, after all these years, never had her own grand piano. She had a used upright and organ, but her skill level and heart deserved a truly beautiful and elegant grand piano; something that represents who she is. So I was able to pass this gorgeous instrument on to her  for a crazy crazy good deal bc I got it for such a good deal. And her church kicked in and helped too, basically showing the loving impact she has on the people in her life.
I’m so happy for you Grandma Lois! You deserve it! ❤️❤️🎹🎹

This is what an old pin block looks like. The pin
This is what an old pin block looks like. The pin block is the section of wood that holds the tuning pegs in place. Over the decades of use, and the piano going from season to season, and as wood expands and contracts, the pins eventually lose their hold (like a screw going in and out of the same hole, it eventually goes loose), which means a Piano can no longer hold a tune very well. Tuners can sometimes remove the old tuning pegs and insert a larger size, but this is a short term solution because the larger size tuning pegs creates such pressure on the pin block that it will start to eventually crack. If you look close you can see little cracks between some of the holes.

I share this because this is a very good visual example of something explain to customers day in and day out about why a majority of pianos that are older than 1975 don’t hold a tune very well and are no longer worth anything.

This piano was an early 1900s grand. We refinished the body and brought it back to its original wood tone for the customer. And the amazing technician we work with them Jonathan Looman replace the strings, worked on some of the action, painted the harp, pulled out this old pin block and had a new one custom built to replicate the original (The new one is the fresh wood below).

Anyhow, just thought y’all might like to see an interesting part of the inside of the piano that rarely is ever seen because the pin block is completely covered by the harp.

That’s all!

Be well! 👍😎🎹

Since bringing keyboards and digitals into the sto
Since bringing keyboards and digitals into the store we’ve hardly been able to keep them stocked. It’s been eye opening and revealing to see how often people are swayed (or convinced) after comparing and demoing between used-acoustic and digital, end up leaning toward digital.

People, just like I once was, often come into the store with the prior held belief that acoustic is far superior to digital in every way. And I think a lot of those stories about the digital vs acoustic comparison are accurate and were true in the late 90s to mid 2000s. But over the last 5 to 10 years technology has continued to skyrocket and dial in the small nuances in feels and tones, creating a more and more lifelike experience.

So once people feel the action of these new digitals, hear the clarity and warmth and depth of sound, see that they come with a five year warranty, that they don’t have to be tuned or professionally transported, (meaning they’ll save thousands on tuning over 5-10 yrs) can record via Bluetooth, offer volume control and the ability to plug in headphones to play silently, come with built-in lesson plans, feel the bells and whistles of digital outweigh a 20-40 yr old acoustic. And I’m largely, mostly, in agreement—I’m truly impressed with digital pianos, and am glad we decided to bring them in.
And, I’m posting this as the person Ronnie, not as a sales post 🙂

If you’ve been pondering the idea of a used piano, or maybe you have a used piano and would like to upgrade to a nice digital piano and would like to see some of these features I’m talking about, make sure to send us a message or a text and I’d be happy to set up a showroom appointment so you can experience them for yourself.

Peace and music!

I wasn’t a fan of digital until 2 years ago. Tec
I wasn’t a fan of digital until 2 years ago. Tech has come a long way, and the touch and tone has finally reached a point where digital truly competes with acoustic. I absolutely love this product line—the action, the sound samples, the speakers, the simplicity, the look, the price and overall value.
These digital consoles go from $1500-$3500, and one thing to consider is that they don’t need to be tuned or serviced or worked on, meaning youll save, over 5-10 years, just in tuning, what the item costs. Pretty cool. Would love you to come check them out!
