Welcome to our October staff picks! As vacations come to a close and students prepare to go back to school, take advantage of our back to school sale! Here is a list of pianos we recommend as you prepare for the upcoming academic year.

Over the years we have seen many customers interested in Silent pianos, most often coming across one for the first time when visiting our stores. Most acoustic upright pianos have a mute pedal as the middle of three pedals located at the bottom of the piano. Regularly coined the “practice pedal” after its primary purpose, the mute pedal lowers a piece of felt between the hammers and strings inside the instrument, significantly lowering the volume when playing.
The mechanism can be locked by sliding the pedal down and to the left so that the sustain and left pedal can be used freely.

If you have an acoustic piano it needs to be tuned twice a year or at least once a year. Tuning is a procedure that turns and holds the pins that are connected to the strings. There is strong tension pulling the strings to create the correct pitch. Most of the notes on the keyboard have several strings per key.

Grotrian-Steinweg pianos was founded in 1835 by Henry Steinweg (Steinway in the US). Prominent piano maker Friedrich Grotrian, became a partner of the company and his sons eventually purchased Grotrian-Steinweg in 1865. Through trademark conflicts with Steinway who had branched his manufacturing to the US, Grotrian dropped Steinweg from it’s name for US operations. Pianists of the time, notably Ignacy Jan Paderewski and Clara Schumann, preferred the premium build of Grotrian-Steinweg pianos.
