Alex is an incredibly skilled artisan piano technician. He restored and rebuilt my 1920's Knabe grand, and it is a true pleasure to play and teach on it! I am a professional musician working in NM for the last 18 years and I recommend him to all of my students and colleagues for his dedicated, detailed and beautiful work! The whole shop is a NM treasure, we are so lucky to have them as part of our music community. This is the place to go for any of your piano needs!
I called Alexander after another piano repair disappeared on me. I had just had our instrument moved from Seattle WA to Santa Fe NM. In the process screws were lost to attach the peddles to the case. Our piano is over 100yrs old and needed special attention to use the correct hardware to re attach them. Alexander arrived on time with buckets of screws and parts to properly repair my instrument. I'm so happy and I highly recommend 88 Keys Piano Warehouse for your piano needs.
We had an old Wurlitzer spinet piano that we hadn't used in years and was just taking up space. Back when we did use it, we got it tuned and maintenanced regularly, so it was in decent shape. We wanted to give it away to a good home and we called many places and contacts, but didn't find any takers some even suggested calling a junk hauler and paying them to remove it!. At last, one contact referred me to 88 Keys. I called them and Alex said he'd like to take a look at it. He came by later the same day, examined it, accepted it and hauled it off! Very friendly and knowlegeable guy! If I have any further piano needs going forward or am asked for a referral, 88 Keys is it!
Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. 10/10 service, and they have a multitude of information on each piano they sell. Thanks to them, we found the perfect piano for us.
I reached out to Alex about the possibility of restoring my mother's piano. The piano has been in the family since my grandparents purchased it for my mom, aunts and uncle to learn how to play the piano. Alex came out and did a visual inspection of the piano to ensure that it was actually worth restoring. During this visit, I learned that the piano was 112 years old. He invited me down to his shop for tour and explained the restoration process and what would need to be restored on my piano. During the restoration, I was given updates and photos of the progress and invited to stop by the shop anytime to see the progress first hand. Check out the before and after photos, they speak for themselves.
88 Keys is my favorite piano store. Owned by truly incredible artisans who are honest, knowledgeable and reliable. Alex restrung my Steinway and has restored a number of beautiful pianos. He is an excellent technician. I send all my students to 88 keys so they can purchase quality instruments at a reasonable price. Best piano shop in NM!
We live hours from Albuquerque, so when my family drives in to make any sort of major purchase, we're often apprehensive about what could go wrong, or whether we'll have made the trip for nothing, The experience can be stressful. Alexander at 88 Keys Piano Warehouse showed up a half hour before my family's scheduled appointment. He was knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging, and complimentary of my kids' playing. The piano we had come to see was absolutely as-advertised, and had been beautifully maintained. Never once did Alexander make any objection to our thorough inspection, or pressure us to consider a more expensive instrument. I would highly recommend 88 Keys Piano Warehouse to anyone shopping for a piano near Albuquerque.
Alex was both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, as well as making sure that every issue I had was handled. Without his help and the rest of the staff, my 118 year old piano wouldn't be what it is now. My new go to for all things piano related in the future!
Alexander was able to tune my older piano and make it playable again. Great price and wonderful service.
The owner hired a great salesman/manager. I can't remember his name, but he showed us around the shop, tried to teach my 5 year a simple song, and knew the background on every piano in the store. He made our shopping experience so much fun. And yes, we did buy a restored, used piano from the. We love it!
