    My friend and I visited just to ask questions and learn; Forrest was so pleasant, patient, and well spoken. The people here clearly have a love for the craft and a love for the art. The pianos were also beautiful and while I am not an expert … More and may not appreciate them as much as someone more familiar, i really enjoyed looking over such incredible instruments.

    Travis at Miller Piano Solutions made the experience of buying a piano fun!!! I was definitely intimidated at other piano stores! I grew up with a piano and always played but, my knowledge on how a piano is made and how it truly works was … More lacking. I am also very shy when it comes to playing in front of others. The thought of trying to find a a great used piano at a great price was completely daunting to me and I drug my feet for a while. The first few stores I went to only encouraged my doubts and insecurities around pianos by sales persons being snooty and basically not having time for me. I was wanting to give up when I called Miller Piano Solutions to see if I needed to make an appointment to come in. I was greeted by Travis who was so kind and told me I could come anytime I liked. Once I got to the store he was even nicer in person! He has an extraordinary wealth of knowledge with pianos and a kind heart when it came to explaining them to me! He never let on that any of my questions were stupid to him. He played every piano that I pointed at, and never made me feel rushed. He also helped me stay within budget and never pressured me. A week later after I bought my Yamaha piano, Travis and his son delivered it to me seamlessly! I cannot say enough good things about Travis and his family at Miller Piano Solutions!!! They were absolutely wonderful!!!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know if my piano needs refinishing or restoration?

If your piano’s finish is dull, scratched, or has visible wear, refinishing can restore its appearance. If there are structural issues, loose parts, or damage beyond the surface, a more in-depth restoration may be needed. We can assess your piano and recommend the best course of action.

Can you do minor refinishing or touch-ups instead of a full restoration?

Yes! We offer a range of services, from minor touch-ups and buffing to full refinishing. You can choose exactly what you’d like done based on your needs and budget.

Can you work on my piano at my home, or does it need to be transported?

Some small refinishing and touch-up work can be done on-site. However, for more involved refinishing or restoration, we transport your piano to our workshop, where we have the necessary space, tools, and equipment for a thorough job.

How long does the refinishing or restoration process take?

The timeline depends on the level of work being done. Minor touch-ups can take a few hours, while more extensive refinishing may take several weeks. Sometimes, we may need to order parts or equipment, which can add to the time it takes. We will always provide a realistic estimate based on your piano’s specific needs.

Will refinishing change the sound of my piano?

Refinishing is primarily a cosmetic process, so it does not typically affect the sound. However, we have an on-staff piano technician who can evaluate your piano and make recommendations for tuning, voicing, or other technical improvements to enhance its sound.

If you would like to discuss improving your piano’s tone or playability, contact us today for a consultation.
Discuss Your Piano’s Sound & Technical Needs

How much does piano refinishing cost?

Costs vary depending on the extent of work needed. We provide customized quotes based on your piano’s condition and the level of refinishing or restoration you choose. We are always fair and transparent with pricing so you know exactly what to expect. Contact us for a free consultation.

Do you offer pickup and delivery for refinishing projects?

Yes, absolutely! If your piano requires off-site work, we handle all transportation with professional care to ensure its safety. If the piano needs to be transported, an additional fee may apply. We will include that in any quote we provide.

Do you also offer piano tuning or internal repairs?

Yes! We have a full-time piano technician on staff who specializes in internal repairs, tuning, voicing, and other technical needs. If your piano requires adjustments beyond refinishing, we can take care of it all in one place.

How do I get started?

Simply reach out to us for a free consultation. We will assess your piano, discuss your options, and provide a detailed estimate.
