[pianotech] Costco/Yamaha

[David Stocker]

Various dealers around the country are contracted to sell the pianos at 
Costco. It varies from region to region who that may be and what brand of 
pianos they have available. Sherman Clay has not done Kohler & Campbells for 
a while. Here in the western Washington state, it may be Schimmel and Kawai 
with or without PianoDisc, as well as some sort of digital.

Suzuki Pianos have been sold strictly through the Costco Website. I have 
been called directly by Suzuki to tune and / or repair several.
