What others are saying about Premier Piano Gallery
40+ Year Piano Educator & Performer
“I have been a piano educator and performer for over forty years. The work that Tom Zasadny and Premier Piano Service offer is of the highest quality. I am absolutely loving my piano that Premier Piano Service rebuilt. Truly, it is my dream piano!!! The tone, the touch, the EVERYTHING about it! There is nothing like a "Zasadny-Steinway!" Tom and his team are the best in the business. I have known and worked with him for over twenty years, witnessing firsthand the incredible attention to detail and quality represented in all aspects of his restoration services. Tom’s amazing talent, dedication and professionalism as a technician are rare, indeed. Look no further for your piano needs!
I also had the honor of teaching piano to the Zasadny children over the years and knowing his wife Sharla. You’ll never know how much I value the entire Zasadny family. I am so glad our paths crossed. They have been a treasure to our family.”

My piano sounds absolutely angelic. The tones are so clear and beautiful and they sustain and sing out. Even my husband could hear the difference which is huge. Thank you so very much for the wonderful job.

About Premier Piano Service
Premier Piano Gallery is a pre-owned Steinway & Sons retailer located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Certified as Steinway’s exclusive nationwide restoration center, our showroom is an excellent setting for musicians of all skill levels to browse a wide variety of nearly new, rebuilt, and limited edition Steinway grand pianos. We serve families, artists, teachers, churches, universities and schools across the Midwest. All pianos are warrantied and have been inspected by skilled technicians, ensuring Steinway piano superiority.
A piano is not only made to produce music, it also stands as a work of art itself. The life of a grand piano can vary from 30 - 80 years based on quality of the manufacturer, usage, climate, and maintenance schedule. With proper restoration techniques provided by Premier Piano, your piano will sound and look like new.
Restoration cost is so much less than replacement. A complete restoration of a grand piano can be one third to one half the cost of a new instrument. Also, every piano has a story behind it. By restoring the piano instead of replacing it, the story behind that piano can live on while the appearance, touch, and tone of the instrument will be like new.
