Summer Sales Piano sales in the summer are usually slow so we are happy to report not only did we survive, we thrived! With kids being out of school, families are too busy keeping up with vacations and such; so purchasing a family piano goes on the back burner. We [...]

Competition – Ya we have that… Here at Stilwell Pianos we consider ourselves pretty lucky to be the only used piano store in Tempe. There are a couple music lessons studios that sell a piano or two but nothing like what we have. That does not mean there are not other piano [...]

Our used piano store in Arizona has been extremely busy since our last blog post! In January we sold around 25 used pianos and February about 23 used pianos. Since we started our other business The Vintage Piano Shop we have been selling a lot more used vintage pianos that have been refinished and restored to have that “shabby chic” look. Click on the link above to check out the new site and some of our more recent pianos! Here is a little pic of one:
Hopefully this will be the last blog I write as a childless Arizona piano store owner! My wife Laurie is 4 days over due (due date was Ocobcer 4th) and we are both very excited to meet our son. Since he is our first child, this is all new to us. As you can
imagine, I have been distracted at the shop lately… Since we didn’t know when he was coming I stopped the California trips and started buying used pianos in Arizona. The last thing I wanted was to miss the birth of my son because I was stuck in the middle of a move in California! Thanks to a great friend of mine, Levon Aslanyan (local piano technician) I was able to find a few great used baby grand pianos for sale in Arizona which has allowed me to stay in AZ since October 20th.
This weekend we sold two great baby grand pianos. The first was a Conover Cable Satin baby grand piano that we got from a seller in Fountain Hills just a couple weeks ago. The buyer was a very talented woman who recently move to Arizona from
Illinois with her boyfriend. She loved the way the Conover played/ looked and at the low price of $4,500, it was a no brainer! The second used baby grand piano we sold was to a couple in Scottsdale who used to live in Tempe right near our shop! The wife is a very talented pianist and has not had room for a grand piano until just recently. Since their lighting business has been growing and doing well, they thought it was time to invest some of that money into a beautiful high gloss black Hobart M. Cable used baby grand piano.
Because of the pending change in my life (Josiah Gregory Stilwell), I have been
Many of you know that Stilwell Pianos was actually started by my grandfather Ralph Stilwell in Decatur Illinois in 1956. By the time I got into the business, grandpa Ralph was already in a nursing home and unable to formally hand the business down to me. At this time, I [...]

As my wife gets closer and closer to her due date, I was starting to worry that I would miss the birth. We have been getting our used baby grand pianos from California for about a year now and since we are growing, I am forced to go on these trips about every 10 days. For the past couple weeks or so I was worried that I would be out of town buying used baby grand pianos when my wife went into labor. Last week (the 19th) we got 4 used baby grand pianos from California and they all sold within about 5 days… This meant that I was going to have to turn around and go get more to make sure the shop was stocked for the beginning of October. She is due October 4th and I know I am not going to want to go get more pianos for a week or two after the baby is born.
Right after selling all the pianos this week, I started getting calls from people in Arizona who wanted to sell their piano. I have not bought locally for a while since I can usually get such good deals in California but I figured I would give it a try since it was going to keep me in town. It has only been 4 days and I have bought 3 used baby grand pianos in Arizona for the shop! They have all been extremely nice pianos and I could not have asked for better sellers. Since I threw my back out on our last California trip (long story)
