Imagine arriving home to discover a shiny new Grand Piano in your living room. When Anthony P. walked through our doors last December, he had a vision of surprising his wife Susan with a gorgeous grand piano. His wife is an avid piano player who was only able to practice on the piano at their church a few times a week, as she played on the church’s worship team.
Not knowing what to look for in a piano for his wife, our team worked closely with him to find the perfect one for her!
The process from start to finish had to remain a secret, to be a total surprise for his wife. From measuring out the spot in the living room, to coordinating delivery for a time she wouldn’t be home.
We were incredibly honored to help Anthony from Detroit Michigan surprise his wife. She was so pleased and overjoyed with the Kawai Grand Piano he purchased for her.
If you’re looking for a piano for the musician in your life, but don’t know where to start. Let us be your guide! Nothing fills us with as much joy as delivering a piano to its new home!
