"The Fandrich & Sons piano I played on a recent concert at the Seattle Art Museum really took me by surprise. I had not played one before and didn't know what to expect but I was pleased to find a wonderful instrument whose action was responsive and whose tone was warm and singing in all registers. As a performing jazz pianist I always enjoy playing, but often it is despite the instrument at hand. On this occasion it was because of the piano. I look forward to playing Fandrich & Sons pianos in the future."

"Fandrich & Sons pianos provide a significant range of tonal color and depth, while offering a wonderfully full, warm tone. They are affordable, superlative instruments of quality, with a remarkably balanced and beautiful singing cantabile voice. Touch is well defined yet responsive, yielding to the most subtle phrasing. I can recommend the Fandrich & Sons Pianos without reservation."

"I have always been very particular about what pianos my students are playing on. To be a good pianist you need a fine piano as your tool. Fandrich & Sons pianos are among the best I have ever played on. The touch and the tone are outstanding. I wish all my students could have one!."

"Concerning the Fandrich & Sons pianos I was deeply impressed with the quality and the sound produced by both grands and uprights. In particular I found it quite amazing that an upright piano could be made to sound like a mid-sized grand, which is exactly what Mr. Fandrich has been able to accomplish. This is certainly a ground breaking achievement when one considers also that the prices of the Fandrich & Sons pianos have remained extremely competitive and in many cases less even than some of those with well known brand names."

"Our search for a piano consumed several months. We read The Piano Book and seriously researched all our options. During this time we played several Steinways, Bosendorfers, Schimmels, Mason & Hamlins, Kawais, and Yamahas. Although these well-known pianos are beautiful to look at, hard as it is to believe we found them inconsistent at best. The inflated prices were more a reflection of pedigree and finish rather than action and tone. In comparison, the Fandrich and Sons Model 185 played beautifully. The action was fully developed and the sound was warm and full. All tones were consistent, even with the slightest touch. If you are looking for the prestige of a big name piano and have money to burn, buy one of the brands mentioned earlier. But if you are looking for the best value going in a grand piano, buy a Fandrich and Sons model 185. We enjoy it more each day. Thank you Darrell and Heather."
