Continuing care

affordable pianos that look real, are lightweight and portable and don't require maintenance

Music is often an integral part of any senior center or continuing care facility. Many times a piano is the cornerstone.

Slide an electronic keyboard into the shell and masquerade as the real thing. Pianos can be built to order for you.

Music engages areas of the brain which are involved with paying attention, making predictions and updating events in our memory.
