Why You Should Always Buy a Piano from a Local Dealer Instead of Online
Because a Piano Is More Than a Purchase—It’s a Relationship
If you’ve ever walked into a room and heard someone playing the piano—really playing—you know that feeling. It’s not just music. It’s emotion. It’s connection. It’s something that lives and breathes in your home.

So when it comes time to bring a piano into your life—or into your child’s life—it deserves a little more thought than clicking “add to cart.”
At Lane Music, we’ve helped thousands of families, teachers, students, and performers find their piano. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this:
Buying a piano online might be convenient—but it misses the whole point of what makes a piano special.
Here’s why we believe, from the heart, that buying local is the better way.
You Can Feel the Music—Before It’s Even Yours
Let’s say you’re looking for your child’s first piano. Or maybe it’s your dream to finally own a grand. You’ve read the reviews, watched the videos, scrolled the specs.
But then you walk into our showroom, and suddenly—it’s real.
You sit down.
You play a few notes.
You hear how the room responds.
You feel how the keys push back, how the pedal sings, how the tone touches something in you that no photo ever could.
That’s not something a website can offer. That’s something you experience. In person. With heart.
Real People, Real Conversations
We’re not salespeople in headsets or chatbots with a script. We’re musicians, parents, and piano lovers—just like you.
When you visit Lane Music, you’re not just browsing a store. You’re talking with someone who genuinely wants to help you make the right decision. Not the most expensive one. Not the fastest one. The one that fits your family, your space, and your goals.
We’ve had parents come in not knowing where to start—and leave excited and confident about their child’s new musical journey. We’ve helped retirees pick out the piano they’ve dreamed of for decades. We’ve shared happy tears, nervous laughs, and “I think this is the one” moments. And we wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Service That Sticks Around
One of the most overlooked parts of piano ownership? What happens after you bring it home.
Online sellers won’t tell you about what can go wrong with poor delivery, bad humidity, or skipped tunings. But we will—because we’re here long after the sale.
When you need a tuning? Call us.
Need advice on piano placement or care? We’ve got you.
Something doesn’t feel quite right with the keys? We’re already on our way.
You don’t just get a piano. You get us—your local support system, just a phone call away.
No "Curbside" Surprises
We’ve seen it too many times. A gorgeous piano ordered online… dropped off on the sidewalk, left for the buyer to figure out how to get inside.
Pianos are delicate, heavy, and nuanced instruments. Ours are delivered by people who treat them like family heirlooms—because that’s exactly what many of them become. No forklifts. No scuffs. Just safe, professional setup by people who care.
Supporting Your Local Music Community
When you buy from Lane Music, you’re not supporting some massive warehouse across the country. You’re supporting music teachers down the road. Piano tuners who’ve been keeping instruments in tune for decades. Students preparing for recitals. Families investing in something beautiful together.
You’re building the music scene in your own backyard. And that means everything to us.

Buying a piano isn’t about checking a box. It’s about finding your instrument—the one you’ll love, grow with, and maybe even pass down.
We’d love to help you find it.
