Sitting in my small, grey bank cubicle four years ago, I never dreamed I would run, what I now consider, the best specialized piano shop in Chicago. I was an idealist with a passion for pianos who had the crazy idea of wanting to show the world around me the amazing Fazioli pianos. Of course, it could never be that simple. This adventure has led me to discover other beautiful pianos, to meeting the interesting, passionate and sometimes famous people who love pianos and to producing over 60 concerts a year, two radio programs and a music festival. I can tell you I never worked this hard and I never had this much fun either.
Like any independent up against the superstores of this world, it is our selection and service that set us apart. When you are dealing with fine musical instruments, it isn't always only the price that matters, although we will offer as a good a deal as any, but the fact that you are dealing with someone who cares about your instrument and about your enjoyment of it. When we look for instruments for our relatively small showroom, we seek out the hard to find, the particularly good deal, the exquisite sound, the even touch, the responsive action. Then we spend hours making sure they are presented in the best possible condition to facilitate your judgement and choice. In our studios, located on the 4th, 6th and 8th floors of the historic Fine Arts Building, you will find showcased our carefully selected inventory of pianos, including: Fazioli, Schimmel, Grotrian, Wendl & Lung, Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, Bechstein, and Baldwin.
I welcome you to explore our website, and look forward even more to your visit in our showrooms.
Sincerely,
Thomas Zoells
President
