I just wanted to take the opportunity to comment on my recent purchase
of the Schimmel 132 DT from the Piano Company in Leesburg, Va.  I am
extremely happy with my purchase and I want to tell you why.  I have been
searching for a piano for a few years and have done a lot of research
before this recent purchase.  

I have been studying various sources before making this purchase
including the Piano Forum at www.pianoworld.com, Larry Fine’s “The Piano
Book”, and talking to my piano technician, Robin Pitt.  In addition, I
tried pianos at various piano stores in the Washington, DC area including:
Piano Craft in Gaithersburg, Rick Jones Piano in College Park, Jordan
Kitts in Rockville, and The Piano Store in Rockville, and Schaeffer
Pianos in Rockville, MD.  

I live in Rockville, MD, but decided to take the trek to Leesburg to
try pianos at the Piano Company based on the recommendation of my piano
technician.  She has had professional dealings with your company and
felt that you were very reputable.  This is very important when purchasing
a piano because the dealer is the one who stands behind the piano
product.  In addition, the amount of preparation before delivery of the
purchase is very dealer dependent, and the Piano Company makes sure that
the product is in perfect condition before the piano is delivered to the
customer.  

While I tried a number of grand pianos during the course of my
investigation, I was mostly interested in upright pianos due to the size and
configuration of my living room.  Among the various piano stores that I
visited, the Piano Company had by far the largest selection of upright
pianos available in any one store.  The inventory includes all levels of
pianos and a very nice variety of high quality uprights from which to
choose.  

The upright pianos that I was considering included:  the Schimmel, the
Bechstein Academy, the Schulze Pollman and the Hoffman piano
manufactured by Bechstein.  I ended up selecting the Schimmel because I thought
that it had the nicest tone and best piano action as compared to the
other options.  But I could have been happy with several of these pianos.

The Piano Company has been responsive to my questions during and after
the sale and based on my experience I could recommend that even in
these times of high gas prices that the drive to Leesburg was worth the
trip.

Thank you,

Emily H
