Ellis Piano is hands down the best place to purchase in our surrounding area. They had a huge selection of pianos to try out and I LOVE the Roland digital piano I purchased from them. The whole family is a treat to hang out with. We spent two different days down there trying everything out and they are the nicest people. Jason went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. My husband is an engineer and knows NOTHING about music but he came away talking about all kinds of engineer-ish piano facts and the stuff he learned from Mr. Ellis that day. A priceless experience that you cannot get at a major chain retailer. If I ever need another piano, I am going back to Ellis.

We just purchased our piano from Ellis Piano and now I see why this store comes so highly recommended by others. It’s an impressive store with a great inventory. David went above and beyond to make sure that we could get the piano we wanted for our family. We are thankful we could support an awesome local business. Thank you all!

Love this place. Meet the father and sons. They all were very helpful. I made several visits before deciding. No pressure. My second purchase from Ellis Piano. The church also made a purchase from them.

Now that I have retired I am finally in a position to buy the piano of my dreams. I was interested in comparing two instruments made by different manufacturers. Ellis Piano is the only store in the Southeast that deals in both brands, so we made the trip to Birmingham. Immediately upon entering the store David Ellis and his sons Cory and Jason made us feel welcomed. They enthusiastically adopted my wife's proposal to conceal trademarks and other identifying marks on the pianos I tried, lest I be tempted by a brand name rather than the qualities of the instruments. Since my piano skills are far from performance level, I was touched by the kindness of the Ellis men. They left me in a room by myself with all of the instruments of interest, plus several others, and invited me to try them all. I did so for almost four hours. Afterwards their gentle conversation relieved any anxiety that might have remained. Then David Ellis named a surprisingly affordable price on the Bösendorfer I had favored. Although we had not intended to make a purchase that same day, my wife and I discussed the situation over lunch at an excellent restaurant the Ellises had recommended. We decided to return to the store after lunch, where we made a down payment. We could not be happier with the kindness and expertise of all of the people at Ellis Piano. Simply meeting these nice folks was worth the drive to Alabama, and I ended up purchasing the piano I have wanted for years.

The staff was friendly, and they have tons of pianos and other equipment to choose from. The space is enormous, and is fun to just browse. They also do repairs. Call or stop by for any musical needs. Would go again.

Ellis Piano was recommended to me by my teacher and rightfully so! They took great care of me, they are very knowledgeable and passionate. I was buying a beginner digital piano and they have a few of the options I previously identified online as the best to start with. Good prices too!

Im just a Dad wanting a keyboard to play with my daughter. A true adult beginner. Cory Ellis answered every question. He showed me everything from keyboards to some of the rarest grand pianos in the world. Not once was he bothered by question and taught me an intro history of the instrument and the brands. . It was clear he loved what he does and he has a passion for helping others on their journey. I left feeling excited to learn.Send these people your business. You won’t be sorry.

I spent most of the afternoon at Ellis piano last week; a fantastic experience. I wanted to play and compare small-mid size (5'5" - 6'6") grands from Kawai to assess the different lines (GL, GX, SK) and variation within the line; David, Corey, and Jason were incredibly accommodating, especially since I told them my purchase was intended for 6-9 mo in the future in another state.And, as others have said, one of the back rooms is amazing--like a Rolls-Royce showroom for pianos--and I was able to play several of them. Kid in a candy store experience, and the Ellis family seemed to enjoy it as much as I did.

I went here a few days ago and the workers helped a lot on explaining which is best and about the pianos' history. They let me play on any piano there and it was a fun experience.

Simply Wonderful. I have never had a buying experience for anything that was this good. Jason and his father David Ellis are remarkable people. They took the time to understand me, my wishes, and my dreams for the perfect piano. The environment they have created is warm and inviting...literally inviting us to play the pianos without any pressure. David told me not to focus on price, and assured me he would work to earn our business...and then he and Jason actually did it! We got an exceptional deal on a Shigeru SK-3 which will become an heirloom in our family. What they did in helping us find and buy the perfect piano was create a deeply spiritual connection between instrument and musician. They made the words of my favorite quote come true for me..."God gives the heart a voice to sound its joy...and calls it music." Thank you Jason & David...and God bless you!
