Have you ever heard the expression, “if you don’t know your diamonds, you must know your jeweler?” Basically it means if you want to know something, go to an expert for your answer.

While “expert” seems to be a title that is thrown around loosely these days, we are in our sixth decade of matching people with pianos. Some say that makes us experts, perhaps ‘matchmaker’ is a better title. If the tips we’ve posted here help you find a piano that you will love long after you first play it, or one that helps your kids spend the rest of their lives making music, or even if they keep you from buying a lemon, then I guess my grandfather was the expert and I was a good student.
