Like any independent up against the superstores of this world, it is our selection and service that set us apart. I can tell you I never worked this hard, but I never had so much fun either. This adventure has led me to discover other beautiful pianos, meet the interesting, passionate and sometimes famous people who love pianos and produce over 60 concerts a year, two radio programs, an amateur piano competition, and a music festival. Of course, it could never be that simple. I was an idealist with a passion for pianos who had the crazy idea of wanting to show the world around me the amazing Fazioli pianos. Passion for Pianos Gave Birth to a Crazy Idea Sitting in my small, grey bank cubicle twelve years ago, I never dreamed I would be able to build a piano lover’s dream piano store and what I now consider to be the best specialized piano shop in Chicago. When coming to look at pianos, it is recommended that one makes an appointment to ensure the best conditions to try pianos and discuss options with our staff. The showrooms provide a unique setting to allow piano lovers to take their time and explore the possibilities of one or several pianos. At the same time, PianoForte has developed a line-up of pre-owned pianos to sell in order to widen the offering and touch/sound possibilities including pianos by Yamaha, Kawai, Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, Bechstein, Baldwin, and other high quality brands. Through these manufacturers, pianos are made available across all price points seen in the market today. These include Fazioli, Yamaha, Grotrian, Mason and Hamlin, Schimmel, and Feurich pianos. As part of the selection process, PianoForte has chosen to represent selected few piano manufacturers which reflect our philosophy of quality and ethics. Since its inception, PianoForte has evolved into a specialized piano boutique with a focus on selecting fine instruments at various price levels. About PianoForte Chicago was started with the idea of promoting and making available the line of Fazioli pianos to the discerning public but quickly grew into a piano store with a wide range of instruments and piano-related services including accessories, recording, rentals, student performances, and lessons.
