My Passion for Pianos

I have been reading a really good book about passion. NO! Not the sexual kind. Passion is the thing that invades your mind all of the time. The thing that you think of at odd times. The thing that draws your mind away when you think of something funny or sad. Passion. It's the thing that drives people to do what they do.

Pianos are truly my passion. When I look at a piano I think about all of the hands that worked on 15,000 parts to put it all together. I see the trees in the forest being cut down and then crafted into the wooden parts that are used in the piano. The sheep that were sheared to get the wools. The hands that were used to make the strings, not to mention the assembly.

European pianos, Asian pianos or American pianos. It's the same all around. So much handcraftsmenship that went into each and every single piano that is constructed regardless of the point of origin.

Since I have moved, just north of Santa Maria and south of San Luis Obispo to Nipmo, Ca. I moved to Nipmo when The Piano Outlet opened thier satelite store and I have learned to slow "slo" down a little (at least in some ways) I have started enjoying life a little more. This crazy passion for European, Asian, and American pianos seems to multiply.

Pianos make a world wide statement. They are one of the most widely accepted form of musical instruments and I am truly proud when someone asks me what I do to say, I'm in the piano business. I really want to see the piano to make a ressurgence in the market place. Its very tough in the current economic situations and many people are deciding to work outside of our industry. Yet, when you sit down at a piano and start to play people begin to smile.

I love our piano teachers, technicians, piano tuners, piano movers as well as artists, and dealers,etc. I do wish you the very best.

Hope to see you soon!

Southern California Pianos

As a piano dealer in Southern California and more recently working as the store manager for The Piano Outlet on the Central Coast of California located in Nipomo, a small town near San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria, I have seen and experienced my share of the business both the upside and the downside.

PianoSD is branching out to offer a new services for the piano industry. Soon PianoSD will begin to offer a website service that will bring together all areas within the piano industry. This will include piano moving, piano teaching and piano tuning, which will direct you to the right person in your area who provides these services that you are requesting.

With these changes comes a lot of intensive work, PianoSD has completed the offerings in California and will soon be branching out to Texas, Florida and New York. I hope that each of you who read this will tell your freinds that in the next few months we will offer a website service that will be 100% free to the people and will assist in providing music and music education to everyone who wants it.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available and I appreciate your patience with us through the changes.
