Community Participation
Our bulletin board is crammed with “thank you notes” from customers, and from members of the community, praising Classic Pianos for its dedication to enriching peoples’ lives through music education and performance.
“If all Maurice Unis did was to sell more pianos than anybody else in Portland, his contribution to the city’s cultural life would be considerable."
Eric Bartels

World Class Recital Hall
Our Recital Hall is popular with piano teachers and musical groups where a top-quality piano is central to performance. A concert quality grand piano is on stage as standard at all times. On special request we can put two grands back-to-back on stage, or add professional uprights and Clavinova digital pianos on the floor for group performance or master classes.
The Recital Hall has been engineered professionally for ideal sound and recording properties. It is fully air conditioned, seating approximately 80-100 guests in padded chairs.
