Neil was very knowledgeable and patient over the 3 visits we made to try different pianos over a range of prices. PianoWerkes also loaned us a floor template to see what piano sizes would fit in our space which was very helpful. We purchased a used Estonia grand piano in excellent condition at a price that we were happy with. Delivery went off without a hitch. Their tuner, Doug Parsons, did a nice job voicing the piano and fixed a squeaky pedal issue. He returned for the follow-up tuning and we have impressed with his professionalism.

What can I say? This place is the real deal. I have been coming into the store for the past several years, each time I visited the area. Like a kid in a candy shop! Not once did I face any pressure to buy, as it was a long-term dream that needed to be prepared for. When I finally did purchase my Yamaha baby grand at a great discount, I was treated the same as if I was spending six figures on a concert piano. Delivery was prompt, communication was excellent, and the joy of playing this instrument in my home after so many years of waiting cannot be overstated. Neal and Anthony, thank you so very much for your patience and all the help over the years. When its time to upgrade, that trade-up policy will be a huge help, and I know I will be back at PianoWerkes!

I had a great experience buying an upright piano as a rusty adult amateur player. Neal and Anthony very patiently showed me the piano I thought I wanted along with several other pianos that I didnt even realize could be in my price range. I couldnt be happier with my purchase, a silent Yamaha b3 upright. They were also able to give me a recommendation on a teacher in my area, and Ive been so happy with my music journey ever since.My only problem is now that Ive made some progress with my playing, Im dreaming of the day I can afford to trade up to an even nicer piano!

We had a lovely experience at PianoWerkes. We decided to go in last minute and ended up taking our children with us. The owners were wonderful and kind even as our kids were wanting to touch every piano. They let us take all the time we needed. Did not rush us or pressure us and allowed us to look at and play a variety of pianos that could fit our needs. We just had our piano delivered today and the delivery team was awesome. They had the piano set up and the old piano taken away in 20 minutes. We will highly recommend them to our family and friends.

PianoWerkes was the best Yamaha Piano Purchase experience I’ve ever had due to the professionalism of Neal and Anthony! They are unmistakably two of the nicest, most patient, zero pressure salesman I’ve ever had a pleasure to meet and work with, not to mention, awesome pianist! The attention to detail and delivery of my Yamaha Piano was effortless and I couldn’t of asked for a better experience! 6 weeks later and because I chose a Yamaha Piano, tuning was simple and Doug is the best with this service!! All-in-all, a superb experience and I can’t say enough about the professionalism, experience, and great personalities to make my Yamaha Grand Piano so much fun to play and listen too! Thanks guys and I look forward to seeing you again soon to say thank you in person.....

I could just quote all the other reviews here and Id be right on the mark. Neal and Anthony are great, knowledgeable people with a passion for what they do.My wife wanted to learn piano (secretly I did too) and we went down to their wonderland of pianos and fell in love with one.Having never had a knowledge of what we were looking for Neil walked us through the garden of pianos. All we had to do was let our ears guide us to something that sounded just right.Neal played and played. We had the whole shop to ourselves due to the unique way they schedule each customer and it was a delight.We are extremely pleased with our selection from a wide variety of brands, models, prices and styles they offered. We look forward to the delivery and years of practice, playing and enjoyment.

I just had my Kawai baby grand piano (purchased at PianoWerkes) tuned a few days ago by PianoWerkes’ own Douglas Parsons. He is a consummate tuning technician who went above and beyond in customer service. Noticing the piano was lacking clear acrylic casters for the piano legs, he called PianoWerkes and they had some and offered them for free. Douglas said he would go get them in Albuquerque and deliver them to our home in Santa Fe! My experience with PianoWerkes was outstanding!!

On the recommendation of a trusted friend, I added PianoWerkes to my list of places to check out. In the end I had a wonderful, non-pressured experience buying a piano from PianoWerkes. Owners were super friendly and helpful, clearly with years of experience. I wound up buying a used concert grand- something Ive been dreaming about since I started playing the piano when I was 5 1/2. I finally have my dream piano.

I now have a new Yamaha grand piano from the CX series in my home in Albuquerque purchased from PianoWerkes. It is a joy to play with control of voicing, range of volume, resonance, and a quality of tone I’ve never experienced before. It was a pleasure to move through the process of selecting a specific grand piano working with Neal Hickson at PianoWerkes. He was generous with his time and knowledge, sharing his experience and learning in the piano and performance world. I played many different pianos; Neal was scrupulously honest with me about the pianos and very patient. Then, once I had made my decision, Neal and Anthony offered excellent and customized service in terms of delivery and tuning. If you are purchasing a piano anywhere in this region, I highly recommend PianoWerkes.

Absolutely amazing experience! Have owned a Yamaha for the past 4 years and in the process of moving homes, Anthony arranged for our piano to picked up, traded in, (we are in the Lifetime Trade Up program ) and delivered to our new home! Was completely seamless from start to finish. There arent many companies like this one around anymore! True professionalism and ease. My son was able to stop by the showroom and try the new one out as well. We are thrilled with our purchases at Pianowerkes and the incredible customer service!!! Thank you!

Shop where the piano teachers shop! Ive used Yamaha pianos in my studio for over 30 years and I recently purchased a new Yamaha U1 Trans Acoustic which I am very excited about it. The U1 is a great piano with great sound and a very nice touch. With the digital capability, I now have new tools to engage my online students! Thank you, Neal and Anthony and the great support from the staff at Piano Werkes, Albuquerque.Karen Parsons, MTNA nationally certified piano teacher, B.S. piano performance, M.A. piano pedagogy

Though we live hours away from Albuquerque, my kids are progressing from beginners to intermediate pianists, and needed a more reliable piano with better action than the antique theyd been playing. Anthony and Neil at PianoWerkes were a terrific help for us. They responded instantly to my email and spend nearly an hour on FaceTime with us, describing and demonstrating pianos in our price range, then repeated the whole process with us in person the next day. Neil was complimentary of my sons playing, and was unbelievably patient with me as I asked him to hop between instruments playing the same portions of pieces, so we could get a clear sense of each pianos tone. Prices were very much in keeping with other stores nationally that I had researched on the web. Delivery fees were somewhat higher than competitors, but not objectionably so, and I would expect these to vary significantly among movers, due to our great distance from Albquerque. I would highly recommend PianoWerkes to others who might be interested in a piano.

Neal and Anthony at Piano Werks are very professional, knowledgeable and patient. When I told them what I wanted, they explained the features and benefits of the various Yamaha Clavinova CLP models, even down to the color choices. They answered all my questions and gave me the confidence to order sight unseen. When the piano arrived at the store, it was delivered the next working day. The delivery was prompt and efficient and I was playing and so enjoying my new piano within a half an hour. So very satisfied with the piano and Piano Werks staff. Kudos to Piano Werks. I recommend them very highly.

I got a Yamaha baby grand piano from PianoWerkes three months ago, and got it first time tuned last month. Everything was great except for some adjustment based on the change of environment. We had great experience from the store and also satisfied with the delivery. Very happy with the piano and the options for upgrading in the future. PianoWerkes provided excellent quality of pianos, customer services, and prices. It was a pleasure to choose shopping at PianoWerkes.

My new piano and everything about my shopping experience has been great. From our greeting at the door when we first walked in to the final delivery and tuning, has been a truly rare and delightful purchase experience. Neal is a superb piano player and very knowledgeable about all the product lines. It was a pleasure just to hear him play.

About eight days ago I was considering casually, but not actively looking, to upgrade my digital piano. I wrote to PianoWerkes and let them know of what might lead me to upgrade the piano. Neal contacted me a day later with a detailed offer, setting out price and other terms, including logistics of doing the transaction from 65 miles away. A week later I have the new piano, like it very much, and the transaction was just about perfect. This was really, really nice work on the part of PianoWerkes, including A&A Piano, the movers they used.

Neil and Anthony were great to work with. They gave us a great deal on a new Yamaha piano. They have also been very helpful with hints on how to take care of our new piano and have gone out of their way to support our purchase. They also sold our old piano on consignment. Very pleased with Pianowerkes. Highly recommended.

I was rudely asked am I just going to play or am I going to buy a piano today. I kindly asked the store associate that I was looking around and that I wanted to play the piano to get a feel for the piano and decide whether the tone fit my style of playing. I was checking out the Clavinova CVP 705 grand piano and the P22 yamaha upright accoustic. I thought the customer service was very poor. With what little I played on the digital piano and on the accoustic piano, I thought they were pretty good pianos for the price and I trust yamaha, it is a great piano. However, because of the poor customer service and the pushiness I will purchase the piano somewhere else and maybe get a better deal.
