We are dedicated to providing the highest quality pianos at the most affordable prices.

If your piano is not up to pitch, we suggest tuning your piano at least once a year, as changes in weather can have an impact on the strings. Let us get your piano up to standards. At every step of the restoration your piano is carefully attended to by a craftsman to bring out the best in your valuable instrument.
Moving a piano requires experience, skill, and strength, especially where stairs are involved. Our experience makes us well-prepared for any piano moving needs. We have the knowledge and equipment to protect your piano and to overcome virtually any difficulty, so we can move your piano safely and carefully.
Our restorations are unmatched in their quality and attention to detail. Every restoration includes a new pin block, new strings, new action of choice ("Renner, Steinway, Abel, etc"), new agraffs, full sound board evaluation and corrections or replacement. We offer polyester as well as lacquer finishes.

A five selection, with the curious fact of having no sales person on site. But there are a number of music instructors using the practice rooms, and the owner literally speaks to you by cell phone to help you find what you want. And is happy to make personal appointments if you're at the next level of serious.

I used Knauer Piano moving services recently to move a piano from my parents house in the Antelope Valley (Palmdale) down to the South Bay area, about 75 miles. Out of 6 companies I requested quote from, Knauer Piano was the only one to respond, and did so right away. None of the other companies even gave me a "no thank you" and I expected not many to go up to the AV. Then, they were able to schedule the pick up a couple days later, and deliver in the same day, all for what I felt was a very reasonable price.
The whole process was even quicker than originally planned. My parents said the crew who did the pick up was quick and very nice and my husband said the same about the drop off. The piano is an upright, over 40 years old, & the drop off location did have some stairs. Not a scratch on the piano or the bench, which even still had old music books in it. If I ever need to move our piano again, Knauer Piano is the only company I will call. Thank you again Knauer team!

Ben Knauer is the most reliable, straightforward, overall great piano technicial I've worked with. And I've played piano my whole life. Dealing with pianos is a tricky business, because older pianos can often give you some unexpected issues. Ben took full responsibility and then some for any unforeseeable issues in the process of fixing up my new piano, even though they weren't his fault, and made sure that he took care of everything. His prices are also fantastic. I would highly recommend going to him first for any piano purchase or piano technician service.
