Greetings! 

  

I am grateful to announce an unexpected honor for the Washington Conservatory of Music.    

 

PianoCraft of Gaithersburg has chosen the Washington Conservatory as the only recipient of the 2012 PianoCraft "Forward with Music" project!

 

What does this mean? For any piano - whether it is a starting upright or the grand piano of your dreams -  sold to a Washington Conservatory student, family, concert attendee, donor, Facebook friend, or friend (and you are our friend if you simply mention the name of Washington Conservatory!) until January 1, 2013,  PianoCraft will donate $500 per piano to the Washington Conservatory! 

 

And PianoCraft has kicked off the "Forward with Music" project with a generous check to the Washington Conservatory, to boot!  Says co-owner/pianist Shaun Tirrell "We have long admired the Washington Conservatory's internationally renowned faculty that shows complete dedication to their students' growth as musicians. With an unparalleled concert and master class series, presented year in and out, the Washington Conservatory is simply a treasure for the Washington DC metropolitan area."  

 

You may be thinking that the sale price is really just inflated to include the $500 donation.  I assure you, that is not the case.  I know the people of PianoCraft and personally vouch for their integrity, professionalism and simple love of music. This is a real gift to the Conservatory, for which the person purchasing the piano pays nothing more.

 

We thank PianoCraft for choosing the Washington Conservatory for this honor, and thank everyone who purchases a piano and helps support WCM, too!

 

With best wishes for a happy and musical Thanksgiving!


Musically Yours,

Kathy Judd
Executive & Artistic Director

PianoCraft is proud to invite you to our

Relax and Take Your Time  

Steinway Piano Sale!

In bringing a Steinway to its potential, there is no substitute for time.  

Whether manufacturing a Steinway, rebuilding a Steinway, or developing the performance of a Steinway, it takes not only expertise, but time. Lots of time.

 

And when choosing a Steinway, you also need time. You need to be in an environment that allows and encourages you to take your time to really listen and play the Steinways that you are considering. You should feel relaxed and enjoy the experience.

 

The One Day Sale?  

 

So why would anyone want to be subjected to hard ball, high pressure sales tactics in a one day sale? You know, the kind of high pressure sale associated with Oriental rug dealers and used car salesmen. The type of sale that is designed specifically to make anyone who shows up feel the most pressure possible.   

 

How can anyone even hear the pianos they are trying to audition when there are multiple people banging away at them at the same time?

 

How can anyone make the right decision when they are being hounded by high pressure, commissioned salesmen?

 

The answer is you can't. It is impossible.  

 

You won't find this kind of nonsense at PianoCraft. Our Steinways are too good, and our clients are too smart. Frankly, the ownership and staff at PianoCraft are embarrassed that the pianos we love are sold in such a questionable manner. We hope you choose to avoid such an unpleasant experience.

 

There is an alternative.  

 

PianoCraft is offering a wonderful selection of historic, golden age, and nearly brand new Steinways at real sale prices.  

 

It was as if my wife and I had snuck away for a European holiday and wandered down a narrow winding street into the shop of a fine instrument restorer who was so enthused abut his work that he couldn't stop educating us on the art, science, and materials that go into a fine instrument.  We didn't feel rushed or "led" into any direction by a salesman, but just guided along the way by fellow music-lovers until the right piano found us. What a delightful time!  It was a musical "date" we will always remember.

       -The Hammermans 

 

You will find all sizes of Steinways from baby grand, to living room grand, to concert grand in ebony and wood finishes. And our real sale prices won't suddenly end because of some manufactured, high pressure today only sales gimmick.  The sale prices on our current Steinways will remain until they are sold.   

 

Make an appointment at your leisure. Sleep on it. Come back again and again if that is what you need. Choose the right Steinway for you and your family, and in the right way.

 

Because we are PianoCraft: 

 

Because we are PianoCraft, you will never be subjected to the harassment of commissioned piano salesperson.

 

We appreciate the rare opportunity to deal with owners who are musicians first.  It made all the difference...You are the only piano source in the area we now unequivocally recommend to our students.

       -Kathy Judd, Director, Washington Conservatory of Music

Because we are PianoCraft, you will have the peace of mind of doing business with not only the premiere piano shop in the Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia area, but a piano shop with a national and international reputation.
