“We had a really great experience with Bayfront Piano. Anthony was very knowledgable and helpful with choosing the right piano to fit our needs. Delivery was excellent. Anthony and Victor did an AMAZING job! They knew exactly what they were doing. Got the piano in and placed exactly where I wanted it. They had no problem moving it a few times until it was just right. It was truly a first class experience. I would highly recommend Bayfront Piano if you are looking for a good pre-owned piano. I love our new baby grand!”
“I just bought a Kawai hybrid piano that is unbelievable to play and listen to. As a musician, piano teacher and song writer, this is the one to have. It never stops giving back more then what you put into it. Anthony, the owner, personally delivered the piano to my home. The service was incredible in a day when my furniture was delivered wrong, and nothing seemed to be going right. Then Anthony rang my bell and the day ended sweetly. Thanks a million!!!”
“When we decided to upgrade our piano, we visited several piano dealers in the Tampa area multiple times. We finally became frustrated and decided to expand our search to Sarasota. We are so glad we took the time to drive from New Port Richey. Bayfront has a beautiful showroom, and the selection of pre-owned pianos was much better than anything we had seen elsewhere. While others only had lower-end brands or model lines, Bayfront had pianos of much better quality. In fact, it took some time to choose between the two “finalists” in our search. We ultimately selected a Kawai RX-2, which was delivered yesterday. Moreover, Anthony at Bayfront was a joy. I initially contacted him by phone, and that call convinced me that it would be worth the drive to Sarasota to visit his store. Anthony was extremely knowledgeable of the pianos in his showroom and the industry in general. He immediately understood what we were looking for, and he presented several options. He did not pressure us at all, and took the time to work with us even though it was a busy day at his store. Once we made our final decision, he assisted with all the details, and scheduled delivery for two days later. (A feat in itself as we live two hours from his store.) Pick-up of our old piano and delivery of the new one were seamless. And the new piano looks as good as it sounds. We could not be happier. Whether you are two hours south or north, make the drive to Bayfront.”
“We drove 2 1/2 hours to Bayfront Music in search of the perfect piano for my husband. We scored big time at this new and wonderful store of beautiful instruments!! Anthony is so knowledgeable and listened carefully to truly steer us to the right piano. He was a delight to work with and gave us a really fair deal once we had found the piano we wanted to adopt! It was worth the drive!”
“I had a wonderful piano buying experience today! I bought a brand spanking new Kawai acoustic piano at Bayfront Music from Anthony Duffy. After shopping at several area piano stores, I knew I wanted to buy my piano from Anthony. His knowledge and expertise along with his patience and helpfulness sold me on Bayfront Music. Now all I had to do was find the piano of my dreams among his inventory. The Kawai has a beautiful sound and snappy action and Anthony was able to order it in a finish that would complement my home furnishings. I plan to take lessons at Bayfront also so that I can re-learn the music I have long forgotten and learn to play again and enjoy it even more! Thank you Anthony!! This is a five star business and I wish you all the luck in the world.”
“If you are shopping for a piano, I highly recommend Bayfront Music, which has a good selection of new and used pianos, a nice environment, particularly free from sales pressure, to try the pianos. Anthony Duffy is very knowledgeable and helpful, but gives you the space to try the pianos and make your choice. He seems to have a specialty of matching customers with pianos, but without pressuring you one way or another. I went to several piano stores in the Sarasota area but decided to buy my piano from Bayfront because of the above mentioned quality of experience I had there. I bought a Yamaha C3 used grand piano, which arrived to my home ok as it was professionally moved by the piano moving company that Bayfront uses.
I am very happy with my piano. Thanks to Anthony for his assistance. I wish the best for him and his business.”
“We contacted Anthony at Bayfront Music a few months ago looking for his help in selling my mom’s piano. He provided all the help we needed. The piano was sold in a relatively short time at a very reasonable price. The entire experience was exceptional. We highly recommend Bayfront Music (and Anthony) to anyone interested in selling (or buying) pianos.”
“I am so happy I stopped in at Bayfront Music. I’ve been shopping around for quite a while now for the right digital piano, and I was delighted to find it here! Anthony was extremely helpful and knowledgable. He honed in on what I was looking for immediately and showed me a piano I hadn’t known about, but fell in love with! I didn’t feel pressured or rushed like I have in other galleries, and that was a major plus for me. I feel very confident in my final choice. Thank you so much Bayfront!!!!”
“The day I made the drive to Bayfront was a Red Letter Day for Ann. As an older citizen, I questioned whether or not I should invest in a new piano. Being there with Anthony pushing pianos from one part of the store to another, I was like a kid in candy store. With Anthony’s input, I settled on a Kawai which has a luscious sound a beautiful, mellow tone. Having this new, wonderful instrument has inspired me to resume playing the piano - for myself - and for others. If you are wondering if it is too late in life to learn to play the piano - or to resume playing the piano - it is never too late to follow your dreams and immerse yourself in music. It will stimulate your brain. It will help you to rediscover forgotten feelings and positive emotions. Give yourself a Red Letter Day - Call Anthony at Bayfront Piano in Sarasota 941-777-7770”
“Anthony efficiently and carefully moved our grand piano from our home to our new apartment. A job well done. We will certainly use him again when we move to our new home.”
“Anthony worked with me from the start to find the right piano for my family. He helped us find an outstanding one that is an absolute delight to play — and it is a great value. My kids are absolutely thrilled with it, and so am I. I am so very glad that I found Anthony and Bayfront music.”
“Anthony Duffy is a remarkable professional. His knowledge of pianos and piano servicing is vast. His showroom has an inspiring variety of instruments to try out. He is the go-to guy for all things related to pianos, piano servicing, and piano lessons in the Sarasota region. One cannot fake this sort of passion and expertise.”
“When I stopped by just to look around I was immediately blown away by the quality of product, both new and used and knowledge of the staff. I will resume piano lessons here and make a purchase, if I can ever decide. Great inventory and staff.”
“Anthony transported a baby grand piano I had purchased. He was on time, professional, took great care of the piano and set everything up just the way I wanted it. I highly recommend!”
“Bayfront Music is well stocked with a variety of keyboards. The store displays everything from some of the finest grand pianos available, to the latest in digital keyboards. The manager, Anthony is easy to work with and well educated in the music business. His is honest and straight forth. As a piano teacher and Church musician for over 40 years, I have guided many families in purchasing keyboards. I highly recommend a visit to Bayfront Music. You will not be disappointed. This is a amazing piano store.”
“Anthony Duffy is a rare find in the music store business. He is not only extremely knowledgeable, but is patient and willing to go the extra step to answer any and all questions. As soon as I walked in the door I was made to feel at ease, and instead of him hovering over me and making me feel pressured he did the complete opposite. He was available for questions, but never did he push me let alone rush me into a decision. I ended up with a Kawai GL-30 and it’s phenomenal. While I rarely do reviews and recommendations, I cannot say enough about Anthony and Bayfront Music - first class all the way!”
“Terrific experience working with Anthony at Bayfront Music. No high pressure sales. He gave me plenty of time to play and listen to various keyboards. His price was very competitive and he did whatever he could to satisfy me including personally delivering and setting up the keyboard. Very happy with Anthony and Bayfront.”
“I’ve dealt with a wide variety of music stores through the years, and Bayfront definitely takes the cake. Anthony and his team were very attentive, honest and fair. My purchase was seamless, and they even held my piano for over a month until I returned. There’s no one else in the area that does pianos better than Anthony and his team. I couldn’t rate this place highly enough.”
“After visiting another Piano store in the area we came across Bayfront Music store and were greeted by Anthony a very knowledgeable and non pressuring sales person. Thank you for showing us a great selection and because of your knowledge we bought a KORG that sounds beautiful!”
“Wonderful Experience!! Bayfront Music proved to be an extremely beautiful experience. I wanted to purchase a pre-owned Baby Grand in excellent condition. There are so many more ‘names’ of pianos on the market today - many that I am unfamiliar with. Therefore, I pretty much wanted another Baldwin, which are hard to find in great condition and in our price range. After talking with Anthony by phone and on-line, we decided to drive 1 1/2 hours to Sarasota. When we entered the showroom, we knew we had made a good choice. Anthony was very knowledgeable, helpful and very patient. Although the showroom was filled with numerous beautiful NEW pianos, there sat a pre-owned Baby Grand Baldwin. He answered all our questions, concerns and offered quality insight on this piano. He did not try to persuade me otherwise. Truly professional. The minor issues that I had were given 1st class attention. The piano was in pristine condition when delivered by professional movers. We felt Anthony was truly professional, honest and trust worthy. Highly recommend Bayfront Music!! Kay and Frank Whitney”
“I mostly play virtual instruments on my computer and my 10 year old midi controller just died on me. I wanted to replace my midi controller (88 weighted action keys) with something similar, so after researching current midi controllers I narrowed my choices down to a Kawai VPC1 and a Roland RD 2000. The action on both keybeds are excellent, but the Roland has built-in sounds I don’t really need and I’ve been told the Roland A-88 is going to be discontinued. I visited the nearest Kawai dealer that is authorized to sell the VPC1 so I could play a Kawai digital piano with the same keybed as the VPC1. The store made me an offer that was better than the offers I got from major online music stores I trust, so I placed an order for one. Bayfront Music was very responsive whenever I had questions on the status of the order and they were willing to deliver the keyboard to me at a predetermined time so I wasn’t stuck at home waiting for FedEx or UPS. The people working at Bayfront Music are customer first, so I highly recommend this music store.”
“We bought our baby grand from Bayfront and recently had them move it. Both times Anthony and his assistant were professional and moved the piano with great care! We will have him back to tune it in a few weeks. Highly recommended!”
“I recently purchased a new Kawai 506 upright piano from Anthony Duffy of Bayfront Music. I cannot tell you how happy my family is with this piano! Additionally, the buying experience that I had at Bayfront was second to none. Anthony takes the time to listen so he can ultimately find the best choice on a piano for his customer. I highly recommend Bayfront Music. Thank You Anthony!
”
“Thank you to Anthony and Bayfront Music for, not only carrying beautiful instruments, but treating people with professional courtesy and personalized service. I loved the beautiful acoustic and electric grand pianos in the showroom. It was a solid selection.
As a pianist playing an event in the area, I discovered that the piano I was to play was locked. No one had a key. I called Bayfront Music and Anthony rescued me with piano keys! I cannot thank you enough.”
“This was my first time at Bayfront Music. I was looking for a used electric piano and what I got was a new very reasonably priced high quality electric piano which I am very pleased with . I was most impressed with Anthony’s expertise and genuine willingness to give me the best deal and was very patient in explaining the different models and overall was very knowledgeable helpful and personable. I would highly recommend Bayfront Music and Anthony.”
“We are more than pleased. Working with Anthony was a pleasure and we were made to feel he knew just what we wanted and needed, and we got a wonderful Baldwin that is perfect for us. He is a man of his word and he is the one to see if you are looking to buy a piano.”
