I specialize in assisting clients with buying and selling pianos. Whether you’re looking to sell your piano or purchase a new or used one, feel free to reach out for guidance. With decades of experience, I can quickly and accurately assess the quality of any piano.
Private sales often offer significantly better prices compared to stores, which can mark up their pianos by as much as 50% due to overhead costs. However, private sales can feel uncertain, as it’s hard to know if you’re making a sound investment without the help of a piano technician. That’s where my expertise comes in—I evaluate pianos to ensure you’re choosing one that’s truly worth your investment.
Below, you’ll find a selection of pianos, each personally inspected and tuned by me, currently available for purchase.
Steinway L Rebuilt 5’10– $26,000
Steinway 5’10½” grand piano for sale in Shadyside, Pittsburgh. Rebuilt by technician Randy Mangus with new hammers, strings, and keytops. It has a clean soundboard, and a DampChaser humidity-control system. Comes with an artist bench. Recently tuned and inspected. As a pianist, you can tell when a piano has that hard to define “it” factor—this one has “it”, exactly how you expect a high quality Steinway to sound and feel.
Kawai GE-1A, 5’1 piano with Self Playing/Silent Practice Player System– $8,300
This is one of a kind Kawai GE-1A Special Edition grand piano. The left side has PianoDisc installed with Christmas/Musicals CDs included that makes the piano play by itself. Perfect for those who don’t play but would like piano music in the home. The right side has QuietTime system installed which allows you to practice with headphones, but on an acoustic piano. You’d usually need an electric keyboard to do this but the feel of a keyboard will never be the same as an acoustic piano. Excellent for pianists who want to practice early or late night but don’t want to disturb neighbors. The PianoDisc and QuietTime system doesn’t interfere with normal playing at all. Piano is located in Peters Township, South Hills.
Steinway M 5’7 Rebuilt 2014– $29,000
Beautiful Steinway M piano, rebuilt in 2014 with authentic Steinway parts and dark cherry finish. Barely played since the rebuild, video of the sound available upon request. Recently tuned in fall 2024. Although a bench is not included, an original Steinway cover and caster cups are included. Asking price is 29k, piano is located in Squirrel Hill.
Steinway A 6’2- $10,250
Rebuilt (in 1988) Steinway Model A grand piano featuring a unique walnut finish. Originally built in 1911. The tone is incredibly rich, complemented by an excellently rebuilt action. The piano was last tuned in October 2023. Despite the presence of cracks in the soundboard, they do not affect the tone, and no buzzing sounds typically associated with such cracks were detected.
This presents a great opportunity to own an instrument that typically sells for $100k when new.
The piano is located in Indiana, PA.

Kawai KG-2A– SOLD
Spectacular polished ebony (shiny black) Kawai grand piano for sale. I tuned the piano in February 2024. It boasts a deep tone, with an action that feels just right, and its casing is impeccable. Located in Fox Chapel, it’s tuned to standard pitch, with tight tuning pins ensuring tunings last longer than most pianos. Kawai stands as one of the top piano brands renowned for sound, quality of parts, and longevity. Regulation-wise, everything is precisely where it should be, with a precise let-off distance and aftertouch feeling just right. The keys are well-leveled, with key dip at the standard 3/8 inch. Additionally, the hammers are lightly grooved, enhancing the sound.
