WHO WE ARE

We are a warehouse sales center with each model on display for you to sample prior to purchase via our website. Showings are by appointment only.

WHY WE SELL NEW HALLET, DAVIS PIANOS
         We have specialized in selling premium used Japanese Yamaha and Kawai pianos since 1989. However, as their availability has dwindled, we now offer an even better alternative for our clients: Premium New Hallet, Davis & Co. pianos for less than the cost of our former used pianos.

WHO IS HALLET, DAVIS & CO.?
         Hallet, Davis & Co. Piano company started building pianos in 1835. It's Boston factory produced world class pianos from 1843 until 1925, when it became part of Aeolian-American. Aeolian-American then produced budget-conscious Hallet Davis pianos until they closed their factory in the 1980's. Reborn in the mid-1990's, the new Hallet, Davis & Co. Piano Company is now one of the fastest growing manufactures, currently producing about 10,000 pianos annually from 3 different piano factories located in China.
         China is now the largest producer of pianos in the world. Every major manufacturer builds pianos in China including Baldwin, Kawai, Steinway, Schimmel, Bechstein, Yamaha, Young Chang and numerous smaller companies. Over 50% of all pianos produced today come from China, and 1/3 of all new U.S. pianos sales are for pianos built in China.

HALLET DAVIS PIANO FEATURES
         An overview/review of Hallet Davis piano features reveals that, although Hallet Davis pianos are affordable, you should not let their price fool you. Hallet Davis pianos are quality instruments that offer an exceptional set of features at an affordable price.
         All Hallet Davis grand pianos feature Alaskan Solid Sitka Spruce Soundboards, not laminated like you'll find on many entry level pianos. They also feature Premium German Hammers, German Scaling, Rosslau Piano Wire, Double Casters, All Wood Action Parts (No Plastic) mounted to aluminum rails, and Slow Close Fallboards.
         Hallet Davis grand pianos offer an amazing 62 different finishes, COLORs, cabinet STYLEs and size combinations. While many other piano manufactures offer only budget traditional cabinets with high gloss ebony finishes, Hallet Davis offers Traditional, Victorian, Cosmopolitan, and Queen Anne STYLEs in Satin and High Gloss Ebony, White, Mahagony and Walnut finishes. They even offer 7 different models with state-of-the-art QRS or PianoDisc Player systems pre-built into the pianos. That makes Hallet Davis a one-stop solution for matching gorgeous cabinets and finishes with a high quality instrument, all for an unbeatable pricepoint.
         We find these pianos to be well prepped and packaged. They arrive tuned to A-440 and are in already in excellent regulation. They require only moderate prepping, and their tone is typically warm but powerful when merited. They also include a generous owner's care package which includes an owner's manual, case care kit, castor cups, and key cover felt for your new piano.

PRICING
         Hallet Davis' list prices range from about $6,000 for their least expensive 46" H-118F studio model up to $19,695 for their most expensive 6' HD-185C IEP grand piano that we carry.
         However, no one beats our Hallet Davis prices: We offer military, teacher, student, church, and/or music professional discounts to anyone seeking to buy one of our Hallet Davis pianos.

         We do not have a commissioned sales staff, nor pay referral commissions for piano teachers, and/or finders fees to piano technicians who recommend our pianos. Other dealerships routinely pay teachers and technicians for their referrals. We do not.

         YES. In addition to our own Hallet Davis piano reviews listed here for each model that we sell, we gladly welcome piano technicians to independently inspect our pianos prior to purchase.
