We had looked previously elsewhere but did not find the selection or someone so knowledgeable about the pianos themselves. We got a great deal and a great Baldwin piano. We came looking for a great deal on an upright piano for my son who is starting piano Lessons in September. I am thinking that I made a great decision purchasing my piano from Tom Bayus at Valley Piano. The piano doesn’t go out of tune and I am extremely happy with the tone. I really love it and the shading of the wood matches perfectly in my living room. My first piano is a Story and Clark baby grand piano that was purchased from your store across from Kraynaks this past winter. I would recommend you to anyone that is looking for an organ or piano. Hammond makes a great organ and Valley Piano had a great selection and a lot of options for Grandma. She is so happy and the grand kids love to see her in good spirits.
There is nothing like listening to my grandma play the organ.
