DAVE'S PIANO SHOWROOM, INC.
BRANDON, FLORIDA

For higher education, Dave chose to stay in his back yard and attended the University of South Florida. Dave was awarded music and academic scholarships. Majoring in music performance, with a minor in business, Dave looked to somehow combine the two. After attending USF in 1998, Dave accepted a position as general manager for Lloyd Williams Piano Warehouse. Dave refers to Lloyd Williams as his “adopted grandfather.” Mr. Williams played the most significant role in Dave’s quest of owning and operating a piano store. Lloyd Williams was one of the largest piano distributors in the local area. He had stores in Tampa, Lakeland and Brandon. Lloyd Williams attained this level of success due to his superior level of customer service. Mr. Williams had sayings that he would constantly repeat and to this day still resonate with Dave. Such as, “Say what you do and do what you say … Don’t make a promise you can’t keep….. Even if you’re just a stump in the forest be the best stump you can be…The secret to a good business is good customers….” This old fashion mentality is at the heart of Dave’s Piano Showroom. There was a period of time in American history, where if you wanted to know the character of another you only need know that person’s last name. David Germino believes that reputation is as important now, as it was then. Dave understands this premise and realizes that successful businesses are a result of happy customers. It is for this reason Dave works tirelessly, everyday to exceed your expectations! There is no used market in Japan. Culturally, the Japanese do not buy used anything. This includes pianos. American entrepreneurs are aware of this fact and make contacts with Japanese business men. These Japanese business men establish connections with multiple churches, schools, universities, etc. There are gray market piano dealers (whom often refer to themselves as “wholesalers” because they convince traditional piano stores to buy their flawed product), in every major American market. With over 200 pianos in stock to choose from Dave is guaranteed to have what you are looking for! Dave’s Piano Showroom stores specialize in distributing acoustic and digital pianos; new pianos, used pianos, vertical pianos, upright pianos, digital pianos, baby grand pianos and player grand pianos. You may wish to rent a piano in the interim. If so, our purchase rental program may be exactly what you are looking for. We offer pianos in almost all calibers of the piano quality spectrum. From production pianos to hand crafted masterpieces, we are certain to have the piano of your dreams! Dave’s Piano Showroom stores in Tampa and Brandon, Florida is an authorized dealer for Mason & Hamlin, Ritmuller, Hallet Davis, and PianoDisc products. If you are looking for a pre-owned / used piano then you have come to the right place. We distribute the largest selection of like new Yamaha, Boston and Steinway pianos, both in grands and uprights in Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St. Pete and beyond! Dave is able to reach the lowest possible price on all pianos that he sells, due to a number of factors. Piano stores typically work out of eight, nine or more than ten thousand square feet. They stage their pianos far apart from each other, in order to create that “in home feel.” This looks nice, but all that empty space is being paid for and unfortunately not by the dealer. Dave’s Piano Showroom operates in less than half the normal showroom space, but has more pianos per square foot than any other piano store, on the planet! Dave owns huge warehouses where he stocks in excess of 100 pianos. Normal piano stores are limited to ordering only what they are able to fit into the showroom. With Dave’s tremendous storage capacity, he is able to order big from the manufactures (saving big) and passes these savings on to you. In addition, Dave is the tuner and the mover! This saves Dave’s Piano tens of thousands of dollars each year, in a tuner’s salary and in professional piano moving services. After each piano is unboxed Dave meticulously tunes, voices and regulates, to bring out the best in each piano. When a selection is made by the customer; Dave along with his helper delivers your piano in hours not days. Yes, same day service! We also provide professional piano moving and tuning services. Finally, “you always deal with Dave.” There are no high pressure sales people here just Dave. This means there are no commissions to be paid to employees. When you add it all up, it equates to up to a thousand dollars off a new upright or digital and several thousands off a new grand piano, player baby grand piano, compared to the competition!
