The Washington Pianos Difference: Hand-Selected, U.S.-Market, Like-New Condition

Many stores today source their used pianos from overseas import pipelines—often low-grade institutional models or pianos exposed to harsh climates before being refurbished. These pianos may look attractive on the surface, but internal components, tuning stability, and long-term performance can be unpredictable.

Washington Pianos does things differently.

1. Only the Best U.S.-Market Instruments

Our Certified Pre-Owned inventory is hand-selected from the highest-quality sources within the United States. We avoid low-grade, heavily worn, or imported institutional models that many stores rely on for volume. Instead, we select pianos based on history, condition, tone, touch, and long-term reliability.

2. Like-New Condition, Technically Refined

Most of our Yamaha, Kawai, Baldwin, and Steinway instruments are in exceptional, like-new condition. Each piano undergoes a meticulous preparation process:

• Comprehensive technician inspection

• Regulation of action and keys

• Voicing for beautiful tone

• Full tuning and stability testing

• Cleaning and detailing

• Replacement of worn components as needed

Our goal is simple: to offer instruments that perform as beautifully as new pianos at a significantly lower cost.

3. Our 10-Year Warranty and Trade-Up Guarantee

Every Certified Pre-Owned piano at Washington Pianos includes:

• A 10-Year Warranty

• A 100% Trade-Up Guarantee

When your musical needs grow, your investment grows with you.

4. We Accept Trade-Ins — Even From Other Stores

This holiday season, we are also offering the region’s strongest trade-in program.
If you purchased a piano elsewhere and want to upgrade, Washington Pianos will evaluate it fairly and offer the best trade-in value possible. We accept trade-ins from:

• Big box retailers

• Local piano shops

• Online purchases

• Private sellers

If the piano meets our standards, we will evaluate it, offer the best possible value, and help you upgrade immediately.

A Christmas Gift From Us: Free Second Home Tuning With Purchase

To celebrate the season, we are offering a special holiday bonus:

Mention this blog post and receive a complimentary Second Home Tuning with any Certified Pre-Owned piano purchase.

Your piano’s first in-home tuning is essential—but the second tuning, after the instrument acclimates to your home’s temperature and humidity, is just as important. This complimentary service helps ensure the piano settles beautifully for the long term.
