The decision of which piano to buy for you can be difficult. But buying a piano as a gift for a loved one or friend can be even mores daunting. This is especially true if the recipient is an advanced player who might have very specific preferences in an instrument. Here at Northwest Pianos we are very sensitive to these issues and have strategies to help our customers navigate them.
When you visit us just let us know if you are buying for someone else. We have a list of questions that will help us to recommend a piano that you can be confident your recipient will love. We can also help with arranging delivery if you want the piano to be a surprise. We can even arrange for the piano to arrive with a big red bow on it.
An acoustic piano isn't just a musical instrument—it’s an investment in artistry, craftsmanship, and tradition. To keep it sounding beautiful for years to come, regular care is essential. Whether you’re a seasoned pianist or a beginner, here’s how to maintain your piano and ensure it remains in excellent condition.
Music has long been recognized as a powerful tool for emotional and creative growth. Among all musical instruments, the piano stands out as a gateway to self-expression, cognitive development, and emotional well-being. Whether you're a beginner learning your first melody or a seasoned pianist composing intricate harmonies, playing the piano fosters holistic development in ways that go beyond the keys.
At just 20 years old, pianist Madison Yan is already enchanting audiences with a blend of technical brilliance, emotional depth, and fearless authenticity. We had the chance to sit down with Madison after her standout performance at Northwest Pianos—an event so packed with anticipation, we had to turn people away at the door. (Don’t worry—we’re working on a return performance!)
