About Graves Certified Used Pianos

Graves Piano and Organ Co. is one of the few piano dealers that maintains an immense, selective inventory of quality pre-owned pianos - spinets, consoles, baby grands, grands, and even concert grands are always on hand to give you the best selection possible. We are home not only to the world's greatest pianos but to the world's greatest used pianos.

The warehouse at Graves, where all of our pianos are inspected, tested, tuned, approved and certified for your benefit and enjoyment.

What "Certified" Means for You:

This is where the "Certified" part comes in... A piano is an amazingly complex piece of machinery. No other instrument (or piece of furniture for that matter) in the world has been known to sustain 40,000 pounds of constant tension for periods of over 100 years! Since a piano is comprised of thousands of parts (many grand pianos have more moving parts than an automobile) there are many things that can go wrong if a piano has not been well maintained by its previous owner. Though you may feel that you can trust an owner you meet out of the newspaper or a local friend or neighbor who has an old piano they'd like to get rid of, you will be taking a great gamble. Graves actually rejects at least one piano a week due to the instrument failing to meet our quality standards. Since you will most likely only purchase one piano in your lifetime we feel that it's our duty to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible - peace of mind is a beautiful thing.

Therefore, each and every piano Graves purchases or receives through trade is thoroughly inspected, tested, and tuned to make sure it will perform flawlessly for you for years to come. In fact, on average it takes roughly 2 weeks for a piano to get tagged for re-sale after it arrives at our warehouse. If the piano passes the inspection and meets our standards, then a full warranty is included along with the Graves Lifetime Full Trade-Up Program. And if a piano that is received fails to meet our quality standards it never gets sold.
