Frank & Camille's Keyboard Centers

Having driven past this showroom on Route 110 twice a day to and from my job at the nearby Walt Whitman Mall, I finally decided to stop in and get up close and personal with a beautiful baby grand piano I always see by the window. It was even more beautiful up close with a high shine mahogany finish, AND it played itself. What a sound! There was a tremendous selection of pianos to choose from and I was surprised to see so many with player systems installed. Camille was there herself and could not have been nicer. She took her time and explained to me about the differences between the many brands in the showroom. I've been thinking about treating myself to a baby grand for years and finally feel that I'm ready to take the plunge. I had been to the Steinway showroom across the street from Frank & Camille's recently and while their pianos are beautiful also, they are way too expensive for my budget. A few weeks before I had also spoken to a very knowledgeable piano technician (his card reads "Gary Haig Schultz, RPT") who was tuning a large grand piano at Camille's Carle Place store where I saw a used Steinway baby grand in a nice mahogany finish. The store was very busy so Gary stopped tuning and showed me a new Kawaii baby grand which he played for me. Surprisingly, I liked the sound of the Kawaii even better than the Steinway. Powerful but warm sounding at the same time. Even though I told Gary that I was not close to buying anything yet, he still took the time to open up the piano and show me how it was built (very intricate and interesting), and how all the parts are interdependent on one another. I now know so much more about pianos and feel confident about making the right choice. I really want that mahogany finish so I decided I am going to buy a Kawaii baby grand with a player system at a great price from Camille.

In summary, I would recommend Frank & Camille's (either Carle Place or Melville) to anyone interested in buying or renting a piano. Their selection is fantastic. Their people are the BEST! And their prices are great (they guaranty the lowest prices). Shopping there is a fun and entertaining experience, which is very rare these days.
