Online Resources for Piano People
The Piano Technicians Guild: A very comprehensive source for piano owners, teachers and technicians.
PianoBuyer.com: In 2001, Brookside Press published the fourth edition of The Piano Book. Since then, they have published an annual supplement to update the price charts and brands available. PianoBuyer.com takes the place of the annual supplement publication. They also provide an offline edition that anyone can subscribe to, but for piano owners, this works nicely. I highly recommend you check it out, then bookmark it. It can answer almost all your piano questions! Check it out today!
Piano Adoption: Piano Adoption is a free site where you can find a home for your unused piano. Give the gift of music to a family in search of a starter piano or to an institution such as a church, school or retirement home in need of a piano. For every piano that is unwanted or no longer used, there may be dozens of potential recipients in your area. Piano Adoption is dedicated to finding a new home for your serviceable pianos before they end up in the local landfill.
Piano World Forums: One of the most comprehensive forums for piano people; piano players, teachers, technicians and more - run by PianoWorld.
