Best place to buy a piano I've dealt with. Their trade in option with my piano I purchased is outstanding also. No other dealer has as good of trade in with a piano purchased from them.

I was in the market for a new piano. I compared prices with a few different stores in the tri-state area and let you tell you that Freehhold Music had the best price by far. Everyone there was a constant professional. Chris, Justin and their team made everything seamless. There was a small issue during delivery but Chris was able to remedy that quickly. So if you are in the market for a piano, look no further than Freehold Music. They are the best in the business!

Chris was very easy to work with. He helped me find the perfect piano for my home. There were several pianos with a silent feature on them and I was unaware of any such thing. He showed me the possibilities of this technology and I was convinced that was for me. Awesome store and selection.

Their piano moving service really let us down. We engaged them to load an upright grand piano into a moving truck for a cross-country move. We needed it moved in first so the heavy, delicate piano could be properly positioned up front and we could put everything else in around it. They gave us a 3-hour appointment window and failed to show up. When the appointment time passed, we called, and they said they didn't have it written down, their movers had gone home, and they didn't have a time available for the next day either.
Since our moving helpers were coming the next day, 2 or 3 days later would just not be good enough. We were forced to call around at the last minute to try to find someone else to come load it in during the next day. Very upsetting, and they were unprofessional in that they refused to help fix a problem they 100% caused.

I have worked with many music stores and this is by far THE BEST place I have ever worked with. I bought the most beautiful piano, got the best help and the move was painless and professional. I cannot recommend Freehold Music Center enough! It is a wonderful place and I felt welcome and we were just taking such good care of. These are hard times with COVID-19 and Chris could not have been more helpful and made sure everything was alright before he left (They also move the instruments!) He was kind, professional and I if you are ever looking to find a good instrument along with advice from an expert, this is the place to go! I am happy, safe and can keep my business because of him!

Went to freehold music center looking for a piano, i was unsure undecided on which upright to choose. Chris was wonderful! Very helpful and answered all of my questions. He took the time and showed me various models without being pressured. My experience with this store is 5 stars all the way! Great people to deal with from start to finish, Thanks again Freehold music center!
