Sherman Clay

At Sherman Clay in Sacramento you can take piano lessons, have your piano tuned and fixed, rent pianos, buy new and used pianos, and even listen to live music. Steinway & Sons was founded by master craftsmen, trained in the best European tradition. They built their pianos one at a time, applying skills that were handed down from master to apprentice, generation after generation. They still build their pianos that way. Each Steinway grand piano, for example, takes nearly a year to create. Nothing is hurried. Even the carefully selected woods employed in the rims, tops, soundboards, and actions cure for months in the yard, kilns, and conditioning rooms, until they stabilize at a rigidly specified moisture content.
