Report
The piano we bought from Craftsman Piano in Yonkers is absolutely incredible. Even though it is a used piano, they did an excellent job refinishing and refurbing this classic Steinway grand. The tone and action are perfect. I highly recommend Craftsman Piano if you are looking for a used piano or if you want to have your own piano refinished or restored.
