American Music World

I just got the piano I bought from here delivered and i was very impressed. I have bought multiple pianos through the years and this was the most pleasant process. From the beginning to the end, was very easy. Thanks American music world.

Can not believe how fast they were able to deliver the piano after i bought it from them! The delivery was amazing and piano was perfect! We are very excited thanks again Joe and his team were amazing!

I purchased a piano here in 2018. Rick was a pleasure to do business with. He really took the time to make sure that we had the perfect piano for our family.

Just bought a beautiful Yamaha from Joe, he was great an so helpful. I was surprised to find out they do just about everything that has to do with pianos From sales to moving it to storage to tuning to restoration to lessons. I also love that everyone I worked with there or will work with is an owner or at least part of the family. The one downfall was that they were only open by appointment due to Covid but when I called to set an appointment they were very open with their time and was very simple. Thanks American music world I can't wait to get this piano into my house

I called them. Spoke to someone about moving a piano. They sent me a text message to confirm--and then never showed up. I called four times during the day. Sigh.

Bought a piano based on pics and was very satisfied! Beautiful piano for our boys to learn on! In great shape and an awesome value for price paid! Glad I went with this family owned business! Give then a try if in the market for a piano!

Rick found the exact Yamaha grand I was looking for and it wasn't even their inventory yet. The whole process was extremely transparent, surprisingly easy and I feel like I got a good deal (including relative to the 3 other piano stores I spoke to). Within a week the piano was procured, tuned, regulated and moved. Even the move was easy. I live in a small apt in a high rise and moving was down to a science (literally minutes).

Rick from American Music World moved an antique Parlor Grand Piano (weighing around 600 pounds) to my nephew's house about 10 miles away a few days ago. Rick and his team were very professional, careful and nice. Rick called me giving me his ETA and was right on time. The price for the move was very reasonable. I highly recommend Rick / Ray. He knows his business.

This family owned company was outstanding for moving our grand piano this past week between cities. They showed up early and were incredibly careful and neat. The lead also plays a nice Chopin Nocturne C# minor!

Rick from American Music World contacted me within minutes of calling the nation wide site. Rick & his assistant were so professional, punctual and polite! We will definitely use them for tuning in the future.

I purchased a Baby Grand Piano in was in need for a reliable company to relocate it from Bolingbrook to Chicago. After calling a couple of companies and only having one who called me back a day later and couldn't move it on a Saturday. I then called American Piano And Rick called me right back immediately. He not only said he could get the job done, he can move when and wherever I wanted it. Rick and his guys arrived on time as promised. The got my new Baby Grand moved and setup in little to no time. I'm so happy. I feels good to do business with great people that give impeccable service. Thanks again.

My piano moving was an excellent experience. Rick was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and made the job look easy. Very good co-workers who were experienced and quick. I would recommend them to anybody.

Rick and his crew moved a large upright piano from our neighbor's house to ours. He said he would be at our neighbor's at 7:30am and our house before 8:15am. And so he was. We have a side entrance, so I was worried it wouldn't fit. We watched in amazement as the three of them hauled the 500 pound piano up 8 steps and turned it on its side to fit into our door. in minutes.

They lined the floor with blankets and did not make a single scratch or dent on the piano or the house. After the piano was properly placed, Rick made sure all the details were taken care of. Then he played on the piano and filled our house with beautiful music. "This is a nice piano, " he said. Blessings. Before 8:30a.m., they were gone. I think they may have actually been fairies.

Awesome service / sales / musical instructions for piano & organ. Rick and his staff gives excellent service to their customers.

Rick and his crew were on time, did a great job and were patient with the scheduling conflict (the freight elevator) in our high rise building. The fee was reasonable, compared with other movers that I received quotes from. I highly recommend them if you need to move a piano.

My longtime piano tuner/technician/neighbor recommended that I go to American Music World, and I could not be happier with my experience. Rick was a perfect salesperson -- he gave me complete, useful information without trying to push me into a purchase. I checked online, and the price he charged for my piano was VERY reasonable. I also was reassured by the sales contract, which included a guarantee that American Music World would repurchase my piano (for a good-sized chunk of the original price) if I had to move or sell it for any reason.

The best part of the experience came when Rick and his team came to take away my enormous old beast of a piano and to deliver the new one. They were incredibly careful not to damage my floors, and they removed that heavy old thing without any complaints or passive-aggressive remarks. I can't say enough good things about his team -- they're the best! I have had some negative experiences with other piano stores. But I would recommend American Music World to anyone who is thinking about buying a piano.

Terrific work! Although the I was nervous as heck as they moved my piano desk, but Rick kept reassuring me through the entire move that it would be ok and it was. I also want to thank him for last minute service!

Rick and his crew came today to move my piano, which I sold to a family in Evanston. They did a great job getting it safely down a pretty narrow flight of stairs (3-story walk-up). His movers were polite and professional, and while I was only present for the first part of the move, I can attest that their moving services are great. I do feel compelled to mention, though, one interpersonal issue. Rick has an employee, Shawn, with an intellectual disability.

I chatted with Shawn a bit while Rick was in the bathroom, and he's a very kind and friendly person. I was somewhat shocked by how Rick treats this employee. I understand if he needs to give Shawn some clearly articulated directions while moving the piano, but he made two offhand comments that showed real disrespect for Shawn's disability: he said "don't talk to this nice lady, you don't have anything to say to her" and he also joked about Shawn not having attended school, and asked a teasing question about how he liked his teachers.

He also expressed disdain at one point, saying, "it's not that hard!" when Shawn struggled with one direction he gave. It reminded me very strongly of the grocer character in the movie Amelie, and left a bad taste in my mouth. Employees with disabilities deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

We just had a very old, very heavy, and very big piano moved from a family member's home to my daughter's 25 miles away. I cannot tell you how happy we are that we chose American Music World. From my initial call to Rick to another call to him to schedule to the actual pickup and delivery today, he provided nothing but the best customer service possible.

My sister-in-law called me to tell me how smoothly the pickup went and how pleasant both Rick and his helper (Sean) were. I saw that for myself as they got the piano in place in my daughter's home, with no damage to either home or to the piano. Thanks for a job well done Rick and Sean.you cannot go wrong with this guy!

As good as they come! I've done business with this company for over 25 years. Purchased most of my instruments for my music school since opening the business in 1982. I can personally vouch for the owner's son, Rick, because he's always been my adviser when it comes to musical instruments. He knows his craft very well, and will always be truthful with any questions you might have. He's quite s "People" person whom you will never forget once you've met him. AMERICAN MUSIC WORLD & RICK most definitely get a 5 STAR REVIEW FROM ME. Check them out before going anywhere else. ASK FOR RICK!

Rick and his team moved a piano for us from Andersonville to Oak Park. The people at the pickup address loved him & to quote "funny, friendly, professional and fast"! They delivered our piano with care and on time. Rick is knowledgable & professional. I would highly recommend American Music World for your piano purchase, rental, care and move!

Fantastic responsive company. Rick was able to meet a last minute need for me. Great guys, fun, competent.will recommend to all!

Great service. I am new in town and had called a number of piano movers and all sound either sketchy, abrasive or were too expensive for a relatively simple job. Rick and Sean showed up and knocked it out in about 20 minutes (getting it into the house, upstairs and flip it for a tight turn). I have a Steinway and am very particular about who I do business with. I highly recommend them.

We purchased a Yamaha U3 from American Music World and the overall experience was absolutely exceptional. This is a family own business that take great and personal care of customers. Rick took care of all the steps starting from selection, piano care, and in-house delivery. The piano is flawless and cost just 4500USD and the 10 year part/labor plus 2 in-house tunings are included. Rick also gave us a brand new adjustable bench that match the piano (full price 550usd).

It was my honor in dealing with people with such a passion and knowledge in music. I thought the name "American music world" will be like a big box chain music store but I was wrong. The store was moderate sized with good selection and many small rooms for music lesson. I can tell the owner has put music education at high priority.
