Imagine arriving home to discover a shiny new Grand Piano in your living room. When Anthony P. walked through our doors last December, he had a vision of surprising his wife Susan with a gorgeous grand piano. His wife is an avid piano player who was only able to practice on the piano at their church a few times a week, as she played on the church’s worship team.
Not knowing what to look for in a piano for his wife, our team worked closely with him to find the perfect one for her!
The process from start to finish had to remain a secret, to be a total surprise for his wife. From measuring out the spot in the living room, to coordinating delivery for a time she wouldn’t be home.
We were incredibly honored to help Anthony from Redmond Washington surprise his wife. She was so pleased and overjoyed with the Kawai Grand Piano he purchased for her.
If you’re looking for a piano for the musician in your life, but don’t know where to start. Let us be your guide! Nothing fills us with as much joy as delivering a piano to its new home!
Piano manufacturing is, by its nature, a materials-intensive craft. A modern grand piano contains roughly 12,000 individual components. It requires carefully selected hardwoods — spruce, maple, beech, walnut — sourced from forests in multiple countries. It uses felt, leather, metal alloys, and chemical finishes. Building one well takes skilled labor spanning months.
In January 2026, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas included something that would have seemed out of place a decade ago: a piano technology exhibit generating genuine buzz alongside the televisions, smartphones, and AI gadgets that dominate the show floor. The products on display — connected instruments, app-integrated learning systems, multi-device MIDI setups — weren't novelties. They were the direction the piano industry is heading.
For years, the piano world operated on a fairly clean division: acoustic instruments for those who could afford the space and maintenance, digital pianos for everyone else. That division has been eroding steadily, and by 2026, it has given way to something more interesting — a category of instruments that refuses to sit neatly on either side of the line.
