We were in the market for a new piano and visited several piano stores in the San Diego area. Greene Music stood out above the rest of the competition. We were impressed with Ken and the pianos. Ken is very knowledgeable and friendly. We purchased our piano and could not be more pleased. Conor helped us with our initial tuning and set up. We since have had a couple of questions and Conor has been amazing to work with. Conor has exceeded our expectations on more than one occasion and is a great asset to Greene Music. I would not hesitate to recommend Green Music. Their staff is knowledgeable and continue to support us with our purchase. Thank you Greene Music!

As former music teachers, we did quite a bit of business with Greene Music over the years. When times were good in education and we had grant money, we were able to purchase new grand pianos for our schools and digital keyboards for our piano labs. We also purchased a beautiful Yamaha C7 for our home which we dearly loved. But like many retired folks, we downsized and moved into a condo and needed to also downsize our keyboard. Ken took us through the ropes of the available digital keyboards after we decided the size and no maintenance features would be the way to go. We are really looking forward to getting our new clavinova soon and want to say thanks to Greene Music for all their help over the years. They have been very good to us!

Large showroom, one of the few places to physically try out pianos in San Diego. Many options - new, used, upright, grand, digital, etc. Had a great experience working with Jaime, would recommend asking for him. Very patient and answered the entire checklist of questions that we had. The by-appointment-only policy was challenging at times since most of our visits were impromptu, but understandable given the staffing levels and recital hall. Could usually get in when needed. Bought a Yamaha CLP for our entire family, excited to have it delivered soon!

Thank you Greene Music and Ken for helping me rekindle my love of piano! I can't wait to get to know my Yamaha Clavinova Digital Baby Grand. I started out my search thinking I would get an acoustic baby grand and then Ken helped me fall in love with the Clavinova. Its beauty, size and myriad options that add to the traditional piano experience are amazing.

We were looking for a piano for my daughter and just searched online since we only moved to San Diego a year ago. Then we walked into Greene Music for a quick look. The inventory in the store was pretty impressive. We weren't sure what to choose and Jaime did an amazing job introducing us to all the models we laid our eyes on. From used to brand new, upright to baby Grand, different brands different technologies.
You name it. My daughter tried all of them as well! Jaime even came to our house with a piano footprint to help us make the decision. At the end we chose an Yamaha baby Grand which I didn't know it would be a good fit for our space. The piano came within a couple of weeks. It sounds wonderful and looks amazing in our living room. We can't be more happy with Jaime's recommendation. Great experience from beginning to the end! BTW, the piano is so shinning that my daughter is obsessed with dusting and removing any tiny smuggles. lol

Ken was the sales rep that helped me, and he went out of his way to ensure I got the perfect piano in my home ASAP. The whole process was smooth, and my kids have been enjoying the piano for the past month. You cannot go wrong to start at Greene Music on your piano buying journey!

I purchased an N1X which arrived several weeks after. I am an amateur pianist so a piano would be really important to me. Also I had some hesitation buying a digital piano. Jaime was really patient and responsible and explained everything to me very carefully. N1X is definitely one of the best digital pianos with the highest value-to-price ratio, and the touch is comparable to a 7-inch. Because of the patience we were able to close a really good deal. I visited Greene Music several times and saw how well they have taken care of everything. I would highly recommend to come here for your instrument.
