Dave Sayer, Steinway owner
Dear Dave,
After spending most of my lifetime on an old upright, then a console and then a baby grand, at last I have my Steinway grand – and I can check that off my “bucket list.” While my “new” piano has been in our living room for just two days, I have already played it for hours and hours. It is such a thrilling instrument – in action, tone and aesthetics -- that it’s hard to believe this Model 0 dates to 1915; but your refinisher and technician made it look and sound like new – with just the perfect amount of broken-in quality and patina to make it feel like a dear old friend.
My sincere thanks to you and your staff for making this purchase such a blessed event. Come to the christening – date to be announced.

I recently used the trade-in offer from Pritchard's to purchase my dream piano, a Steinway & Sons Model O Chinoiserie English Style grand piano from the designer collection. I received the full purchase price back from the Essex upright I bought from Pritchard’s a couple of years ago. Not only is my new piano gorgeous and elegant, but the sound is phenomenal. I cannot stop playing it. It was in pristine condition upon delivery, professionally tuned and voiced. It is a great experience owning a Steinway, the best piano ever made. Every piano player should own a Steinway and Pritchard’s kind and knowledgeable staff helped my lifelong dream become a reality by being the proud owner of a new Steinway.

Dear Dave,
I just want you to know that I am absolutely thrilled with the piano! I have now been playing it for a month. It sounds even better than I remembered it. I could not be happier.
I also want to sing the praises of the two young men who delivered the piano. They were very professional and showed an informed enthusiasm about my piano that went over very well.
Thanks, Polly

Alex Dilan Music Minister St. Thomas More Catholic Church
Pritchard's Pianos has been with us for the purchase of our Steinway grand model B piano and Roland Atelier for St. Thomas More Catholic Church's thriving Music Department. They have worked with our schedule, not to mention our budget and have an amazing staff that really listens to our needs. Not only that, they have gone out of there way to make our parishioners repeat buyers. They have also worked with us in our concert outreach. No other company has done so much for our Church. For service, price and quality, nothing beats the team at Pritchard's Piano.
Pam Henley, Piano Teacher
It has been a pleasure working with Pritchard's since 2006. At the time I was the proud owner of a Kawai baby grand, but had been contemplating returning to the Steinway . My first piano was a Steinway vertical, it had been a wonderful experience teaching and practicing on that instrument. After two hours of playing different new and used Steinways, the decision was made. My piano would be a new Steinway B! This instrument is such an incredible instrument to work with, every day I experience something new while teaching or playing a piece.
And my students love how they sound on this piano. THEY HEAR the difference which makes me so proud. Not only has Pritchard's assisted me, but also my students and their families with the decision to purchase a new or used piano. They are professional, knowledgeable and caring about each customer. Pritchards has been an incredible asset with the creation of their music book division. Their diligence in meeting my student's needs has really made a difference.

Just wanted to let you know that we are very happy with the purchase of our Kawai piano. Since receiving the K3 Kawai model back in October our daughter Anna has been very motivated to practice more. She frequently plays an hour a day and we have seen a great improvement in her piano performance. Anna played successfully for a Christmas recital and also performed these songs at our church over the holidays. Thank you also for the opportunity to record her music at your store. The CD we sent to relatives sounded great!
The upright K3 Kawai model has a deep rich tone that has the sound of a much larger grand piano. We love listening to the sound of it throughout our home. For peace of mind it's nice to have the ten year warranty that came with it but I don't think we'll ever have to use it because it plays beautifully!
We were very pleased with our whole experience of purchasing a piano at Pritchards. Jeff, Steve and Dave were all exceptionally helpful and informative about what options we should consider to best meet our daughter's musical needs. In conversation with parents at the recent Christmas recital I highly recommended that if they were considering purchasing a piano that they visit Pritchards and try out the many wonderful pianos you have available.
Sincerely,
Rosanne, John and Anna Beatty

Hi , Guy Buck here next to the Roland KK115 baby grand digital grand I purchased from Pritchards .
My wife plays the organ and has been trading up on organs with Pritchards for many years , I decided to go with this piano . Great choice ! I have had a lot of fun learning to play it . The instrument allows me to play along with a great number of pianists . We also let it play during dinner to hear all of our favorites .
Drop in to Pritchards newly decorated store , we did and you'll find the most friendly folks you've ever dealt with.. and talented too. They will demonstrate any instrument you want to hear . At my age , music has turned into a really fun hobby .
Associate Pastor Daniel Jackson, Liberty Baptist Church
I wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with our new Kohler & Cambell grand piano. The musicians love playing it. They say it has the sound of elegance.
The main reason I am writing you is to express my personal thanks for all the help you have been to us in the process of purchasing the piano. I just wanted to express my gratitude for the fine manner in which you we have been taken care of during the entire process. Pritchards not only gave us a great price but also tremendous service. I will not hesitate to recommend you and Pritchards Pianos to any ministry that is looking for a piano.
From start to finish you have demonstrated a first class effort. Thanks again !

I am so thrilled with my piano, it's amazing! I've got a lifetime of fun now. Thanks to Pritchard's and a little persistence on your part. When I came into the store to help my friend learn more about her piano she had purchased , I was so impressed. A little overwhelmed with the price, but so in love with the Kawai I couldn't stop thinking of what I could do with it. I should have bought one years ago, but I didn't know about the Kawai and it's quality. Mom and I are recording CD's non stop for 2 days at a time. Mom has leukemia, and she doesn't have a lot of energy, so I keep her going till she drops. (Another reason why I'm so glad to be able to record in my own home.) The Kawai really is "Record Studio" quality.........
Thank you so much for all your help teaching me how to work it. I am a technical imbecile when it comes to computers, and I appreciate your help so much. Again "You are the greatest"

Dear Clark,
The Roland AT 900-C is such a wonderful instrument. I am enjoying discovering new things about it every day. Thanks so much for all your help in figuring things out. Since you helped me copy a Vima tune onto my memory stick we are enjoying watching the slide shows, listening to the music and seeing the words all at once. Norm can also use these on his digital piano by using the USB drive. What would we do without you? Margaret & Norm Beisswenger
Ms.P Ruddiman , organist
Pritchard's Piano & Organs has consistently provided me with considerate service, excellent information and very good follow up for the organs I have purchased from them. Over 10 years I have been consistently offered very good value for my trade ins as well as prompt and courteous answers to all questions both before and after purchase. On occasion they have had to go back to the manufacturer for answers and have gotten the information I requested every time. I feel that the products they offer are the very best in the field. The Roland Atelier 900 I recently purchased has no peer in the home organ field and is a joy to play and hear.
Russ Jennings , professional musician
I've been a Pritchards client since 2003. I was a bass player looking for some exposure to the piano. The class room instruction, product information and concert event services have been most helpful. Pritchards sold me a Roland portable keyboard model KF 7 several years ago. Pritchards staff recommended the Roland and provided product training. Buying Roland products from a highly professional dealer like Pritchards is the "key" to success.
