Why shouldn’t I buy a piano from Craigslist or other online platforms?

Buying a piano on Craigslist or other online platforms can be risky and potentially dangerous. You may encounter scammers, fraudsters, or dishonest sellers who may try to take advantage of you. You may also end up with a piano that is damaged, defective, or overpriced. You may not have any warranty, guarantee, or support for your purchase. You may also have difficulty finding a reliable and affordable piano mover to transport the instrument to your location. If you want to buy a piano safely and securely, it’s better to buy from a reputable local dealer like Miller Piano Specialists in Nashville, TN. We offer a wide range of high-quality pianos from reputable brands, exceptional customer service, and professional piano-related services such as tuning, moving, repair, and restoration.

How often should I tune my piano, and what kind of service does it need?

You should tune your piano twice a year, when switching between heating and air conditioning in your home as a guide. Regular maintenance is essential for the piano’s 60,000 moving wooden parts and the immense pressure on the plate. We offer professional piano tuning and a variety of technician services, including repairs, voicing adjustments, and more.

What is the difference between digital (electric) and acoustic pianos?
