Comments from our Customers
From LM in North Bethesda MD who bought a 2007
Steinway Model O Grand
"Harry, the Piano is just wonderful. It is so appreciated
at home"
From LK in Austin, Texas who bought a 1890's Steinway Grand
"Harry: I just sent you a photo of me standing by
the Steinway in my living room. It is beautiful, just
as beautiful as we all thought it would be. I gave a
mini-concert for my husband and daughter-in-law last night. My
other children are coming tonight to see and hear it.
Thank you again for all your professional manner in this transaction. If
I can ever give a recommendation, please give my name. I
would be more than happy to do that.
Thank you for the name of the technician. I wanted to
have someone who would know really how to appreciate these
special pianos.
The movers were excellent, very professional and courteous. I
give my highest recomendations to them also."

From John in the Midwest, who bought a vintage Steinway
grand for himself and a slightly used Steinway B for
a family member
"I saw the pianos this evening and they arrived in very
good condition. You have been so helpful and really made me
feel very at ease about making these purchases sight unseen.
I will recommend you to anyone that needs to buy a piano.
Thank you so much for your patience and thanks for being so
responsive to all my questions. "

From Paul in Ft. Walton Beach, FL,
we marketed and sold his 1900 Steinway Model A-II Art Case
"I sold my 1900 Steinway grand piano through Grand Grands. Harry
and his team did a quality job from beginning to end. The
photographs they took were very professional and highlighted
the physical beauty of my piano. The video demonstrated
its wonderful, singing tone. Harry worked with me to
set a good asking price. He handled all negotiations
with interested buyers -- confirming the seriousness of their
interest, arranging for inspection and shipping, drawing up
the bill of sale and arranging for the transfer of funds --
while consulting with me every step of the way. Harry
made the sale of my piano profitable and painless, even in
the current soft market. I recommend Grand Grands without
reservation."

From Doug in Kansas City, MO who bought a rebuilt
1908 Steinway Model A-II Art Case
I met Harry as a first time purchaser. I was very particular
about what I was looking for, and I had been "going it alone" in
my search for a vintage restored Steinway grand piano for nearly
two years. Althougn I came across countless candidate
pianos along the way, I was not able to find the right piano
for the right price from the right rebuilder. Harry changed
all of that rather quickly. Equally, if not more important,
he served as a trusted intermediary for both me and the rebuilder.
The end result was my complete satisfaction. Without
reservation, I recommend Harry and Mobley's Inc. to any prospective
piano purchaser.

From Jerry in Gardnerville, NV who bought a rebuilt
1920 Steinway Model O ebony
Late yesterday afternoon I happened to glance out my front
door and saw a box from UPS on the front porch. Not expecting
any deliveries, I was quite surprised to see that the Steinway
lock key had arrived. I’ve seen photos of the key,
but the real thing is quite impressive. It’s solid
brass and beautifully cast and polished. I expect to
make a satin ebony plaque with a Steinway lyre logo and a nice
hook for the key. It will go somewhere on a wall as a piece
d’art.
As for the piano, François tuned it a second time and
did some regulation on the action. We are both amazed
at how well it’s settling in here. I played several
Model Ls and maybe an “O” or two in music school
and don’t remember any that sounded as big as life as
mine. I was somewhat concerned about the very low bass
when I first saw it.. The bass seems to be taking care
of itself nicely. It’s
now becoming full and rich. This is truly a magnificent
Steinway and I’m delighted and quite proud to own it.

From JG in Lucas, TX who bought a vintage Steinway
upright
"I haven't had a chance to sit down and write a note to
Thank you. I was out of town when the piano was delivered.
I finally saw it on Friday and want to tell you that we love
it! It looks great in the living room and is everything we
imagined. Thank you again- it was a pleasure working with you!"

From Fulgencio in Murcia, Spain (piano dealer & technician)
who bought a Fazioli Concert Grand
"Harry, Thanks a lot for all your attention during my recent trip to Memphis.
I have been very happy in Memphis with you. I hope when you come to Murcia you
will enjoy my city. I think coming to Murcia will be a very pleasant trip for
you and your wife."

From Gessica in Torino, Italy (piano dealer) who
bought 6 Steinway Grands
"I have been
working with Mr. Mobley since 2004 and I met him and his
family twice. He is a great person and it is a pleasure
doing business with him. At that moment I bought no. 6
Steinway & Sons Grand Piano"
------------------------
From Leo in California who bought a Mason & Hamlin
Model BB Walnut
"At
one time in my career I was a professional purchasing agent
and I will tell you, without hesitation, that Harry Mobley
is one of the most honest, dependable, and forthright people
that I've met. He did everything he said he would do
- even when a slight glitch took place - he immediately solved
the problem even though he had nothing to do with the cause. I
did not know him until I bought a piano from him but now
I consider him to be a friend. You may end up the
same way."
------------------------
From Buddie and Mary Kay in Texas who bought a rebuilt
vintage Steinway Grand Model S Mahogany
"My husband and I bought a Steinway piano from
Harry sight unseen other than looking at a picture
of it on
the internet. Buddie (my husband) talked to
Harry and Don, who rebuilds for him. Last Christmas (we
have an annual Christmas party and wanted to make
sure it was tuned), so a friend of our recommended a man who rebuilds
Steinway's in Dallas and tunes them on the side. When
he came out he kept going on about what a beautiful, wonderful
sounding piano we had - where did we get it - it hardly needed
to be tuned even though we had it for a year at that time. Also,
our piano was rebuilt with all Steinway parts, which most people
don't do, according to the tuner. We paid to have Harry's
delivery man deliver it to us in Texas from Tennessee. Buddie
and I can tell you that we were very satisfied with
our purchase and our dealings with Harry. You
have been a pleasure to deal with and we want to be on your
recommendation list. Thank you, Mary Kay"

From Bill & Stacy in Michigan: Sent a vintage
Steinway Grand in for rebuild/restoration and Piano Disc installation
"We absolutely LOVE
this piano. You all did such a fantastic job. I think we got
hung up on a couple of concerns and the message that we really,
really love the piano got lost in the
shuffle. The finish on the piano is remarkable and the sound
is fantastic.
If you ever want a strong recommendations, we would love to
provide it.
Truly, I don't think we have ever been treated better or had
better quality work."

From R.B. in New Jersey. a Steinway
Artist, performing Artist, and teacher: purchased a rebuilt
1982 Steinway Model D Concert Grand
"Owning Steinway pianos all my life, I have frequently
been disappointed in the quality of work I've witnessed in rebuilt
instruments despite the impressive resumes and accolades of
the providers. Buying a Steinway is easy but where to buy it
is another story. The more time I spend with my new piano, the
more I realize what a quality instrument I have. You have made
this venture a most enjoyable experience and provided me with
an instrument I've waited for all my life. You are to be commended
on the service, workmanship and professionalism you have provided.
The sound, the feel, the appearance and price of my Steinway
D were beyond my expectations. I would not hesitate recommending
your five star establishment to the most demanding professional.
Bravo! "
------------------------
From D&J G in Georgia: purchased a rebuilt/restored
1922 Steinway Model M Mahogany
"Indeed, the piano arrived
safely and we have been
enjoying it ever since. Thanks to you and Don.
We have thoroughly enjoyed the PianoDisc system.
Thanks for your encouragement as the disc system adds
another dimension. Again, many thanks. The experience with you
has been
rewarding."

From M.C. in Georgia: purchased a rebuilt/restored 1935
Steinway Model M Mahogany
"I
just wanted you to know my piano teacher tried my piano out
today. Her comment was, "Now THAT'S a piano!" She
really ( I mean really) liked it. I am adjusting to the differences
from the old to the new, and I fear I will be spoiled very soon.
Thanks for all you've done to help get the piano to me. I have
nothing but praise for your help during my visit and for keeping
me informed during the delivery process."

From C.T. in Florida: purchased
a 1969 Steinway Model M
"From the time of our first telephone conversation
I was aware that I was speaking to a gentleman with the highest
professional standards. I appreciated this as well as your patience
while I tried to decide what to do and how to do it. You made
the purchase as pleasant as the actual arrival of the piano.
I am so very pleased with it. It is visible from nearly all
the living areas of the house and each time I see it, I'm happy
that I waited to have this piano and did not settle for another
one."

perfect. You and your company did everything that you
said you would. It's not easy buying a piano

hell of a bargain. Thanks again."

From L.G. in Wisconsin: purchased
a Nordiska Grand
"Yes, I love my piano!!!
Poor Dan..we're in the middle of adding an addition
to our house, and the ground was too wet to bring their truck
around to the
back. They had to take the piano out the back door and down
a flight of
stairs, but they did it! Thanks again so much!"
------------------------
From R.J. in South Carolina:
purchased a Young Chang PG-157 w/Pianodisc
"I received a phone
call from a very nice gentleman of San Fran last evening…your
good reputation is spreading! I spoke with him at some length
about my experience with you, the instrument, PianoDisc Systems,
and internet business.
My easy job in this regard was simply to tell unvarnished truth.
It is my opinion after the conversation is that you will probably
have another satisfied customer very soon. It must be very pleasing
to put the beauty and peace of music in appreciative hands.
Having that instrument in my home for the past year has been
a cherished, significant part of keeping several lives balanced,
meaningful, and inspired.
Although I did not share
that piece of information with the California Gentleman, you
are free to refer to it as proof positive of potentially priceless
rewards of what you are marketing."

not too out of tune. Movers did an
excellent job. I will have the piano tuned in a couple weeks

one
to me. Thanks for all your help."
