A Son Now at the Conservatory in Milan — Roger Made It Possible

There are singular events and conversations you hardly forget in your life when they touched you profoundly. Buying a piano at Roger's Piano is one of those.

I entered this store a few years back: unemployed, a single parent with a musically talented teenage boy, both depressed due to life circumstances. I began to timidly ask if there was an inexpensive upright piano we could try. I felt so embarrassed when Roger asked what my budget was. I remember whispering, "You don't want to know."

As my son began to play different pianos, Roger turned to us saying that my kid needed a much better quality piano. He added that he would rather help a talented young one get the right piano than sell one to some wealthy people interested more in a high-end piece of furniture. He offered us a beautiful second-hand baby grand he had not yet put on the floor. He tailored the price so that it could be closer to my budget, also offering me an interest-free payment plan that allowed me to sleep at night.

Years have passed and now my son Gabe is completing his degree in Piano Performance at the Conservatory of Music in Milan, Italy.

Thank you, Roger and Carol.
