Pickle Piano

At Pickle Piano Company, we are passionate about preserving and protecting the world's finest pianos. Our story began in the summer of 1988 when we decided to open our doors to the Chicagoland region, with a mission to provide high-quality new and used pianos. We wanted to stand out from the competition, so we employed sales professionals with years of professional piano experience and highly skilled technicians from around the globe.

Our inventory is carefully selected, and includes only the finest new and used pianos from Europe, North America, and Asia. Over twenty-seven years later, our mission still remains vital to our business philosophy: to honor the integrity of our musical backgrounds by selling only the best pianos at fair prices, and by providing our customers with all of the information they would need to make an informed decision about their purchase.

The Pickle Difference

The "Pickle Difference" is in our name. When you "pickle" something, you preserve it. That's how we look at the work that goes into every piano that leaves our showroom. New or used, every piano that we sell goes through a vigorous series of inspections and improvements.

Pickle Piano Company is one of a few remaining full-service piano houses in the United States. Our store consists of two parts: a showroom where customers can browse and play the pianos at ease, and a workshop where each piano is meticulously serviced. The people behind Pickle Piano are all professional musicians and artisans, dedicated to the musical fulfillment and unsurpassed service of our customers.

Our founder, Matt Bechteler, a concert pianist and piano aficionado since childhood, founded Pickle Piano Company in 1988 with his unwavering commitment to excellence in music. His vision for Pickle was to create a company that would establish a new height in the values of integrity and quality in workmanship and customer service.

Being a full-service piano house, our customers can rest assured that no piano leaves our showroom directly out of the box. Every piano is serviced to perfection by our expert technicians. Our customers' satisfaction is our satisfaction.
