Report
We contacted the owner Phil Helliger at Maryland piano regarding the purchase of our piano on the recommendation of a local music store. After several contacts and multiple follow-ups, Phil finally came to our home to look at the piano. He indicated that he would like to do some research and get back to us. Days later with no response, I finally called Phil who indicated he was on the road and would call me back.
We never heard from Phil again. Ghosting by any business is not only incredibly unprofessional, it is beyond rude. We gave Maryland Piano the courtesy of giving them time to make an offer and a simple, "I'm not interested" would have saved us days of waiting to sell the piano. Suffice it to say that I am disappointed at the complete lack of professionalism which calls into question the overall integrity of Maryland Piano. I would not want to do business with them.

Phil and Maryland piano have been tuning out piano for years, after having delivered it in the first place. They are fun, on time, do an excellent job, and at a fair price. I love the mini-concert from Phil when the job is done!

They are the best! Polite, Professional and they treat your piano as if it was their own. Have used Phil and his crew now for over 20 years! As I said, they are the best.

These guys are ALWAYS on their A game. I've had my very difficult baby grand piano moved three times already by Phil and his team (Matt is great to work with!) and today will be the 4th. I have been consistently pleased with their service and professionalism--especially after dealing with the nightmare of 4 military PCS moves.

My wife and I have used Maryland Piano to tune, repair and move our player piano. Excellent results on each occasion. Phil has exhibited great expertise in each area. Very pleased and highly recommend. Will continue to use Maryland Piano in the future.

My son always wanted a "real" piano and I kept telling him we could not afford one. Only when we went to Maryland Piano did I understand that a wonderful used, reconditioned piano was in our price range. This piano has been well loved and used by our son who has chosen music as his life's work. He has grown up and moved out, and now I am taking piano lessons. They have a great selection of used pianos which have been restored to excellent condition.
Something in every price range, and they will help decide what is right for you. They do not rush you. Also, they come every six months to my home and tune the piano. They are prompt and professional and maintain my old, but still resonant piano.
