Antique piano restoration
As an antique piano restoration company, Piano Emporium specializes in custom rebuilding and refinishing of fine grand and upright pianos. Our approach goes far beyond simply bringing antique pianos back to their original aesthetic beauty. We take
gracefully aged pianos and make them look and sound better than they ever did before. Our emphasis is on attention to detail versus high volume. The collectors, musicians, former instructors and technicians on staff here represent more than 75 years of collective experience in everything from basic tunings to a complete restoration.

Authorized Yamaha dealer, new acoustic and digital pianos
Additionally, Piano Emporium is the authorized Yamaha dealer for Western North Carolina. Here in the mountains, we’re your source for new Yamaha acoustic pianos as well as Yamaha Clavinova digital pianos and the unmatched quality that the Yamaha brand represents.

A wide variety of high-quality used pianos
The Piano Emporium showroom also has a large selection of excellent used pianos including instruments from Baldwin, Chickering, Knabe, Steinway, and other fine makers.

Piano tuning & moving
When it comes time to tune, repair or even move your piano, look no further than Piano Emporium. We specialize in complete piano service, are fully insured, and have the specialized expertise and equipment to ensure your piano will have the best care as well as a safe journey to its new home.

Why restore a piano instead of buying a new one?
Purchasing one of Piano Emporium’s new acoustic or digital pianos is certainly an excellent choice, but restoring a piano (or purchasing a restored instrument) has several advantages as well:

• Fraction of the cost of buying new
• Unique styles that are no longer available

• Heirloom pianos in top playing condition
• Environmentally friendly
• And more
