Greetings!
37 Years and Counting!
Did you know that this spring, Greene Music celebrated 37 years in business under the same owner? Mike Greene and his family have sold so many pianos in San Diego, for so long, that we've even had the children and even grandchildren of our customers come in to buy a piano!
Recession or not, we're still working with San Diego families, churches, businesses, teachers, and arts venues to keep the music playing!

Should I Buy an Electric Piano
or a Traditional Piano?
...and what is the difference?
Everything you need to know to make a smart decision
Piano shoppers ask us about this every day...
- "What is the difference between digital and acoustic?"
- "Why should I buy a traditional acoustic piano?"
- "Isn't a traditional piano better to learn on?"
- "Which piano should I buy just to get started?"
- "Which kind of piano has better sound?"
This useful workshop will give you the information you need about pianos and prices, and some helpful perspective on what would work best for you and your family.
