Who is South Jersey Piano?

South Jersey Piano grew out of the need Ben saw in 2010 for quality piano work in rural south Jersey. The business started small and grew gradually over the years, blessed by the referrals of many satisfied customers.

Currently, we are a full service piano business offering sales, rentals, and in-home service of the highest caliber, as well as piano moving and a busy workshop for larger jobs. Most recently, we have completed construction of a state-of-the-art recording studio, designed once again with the musicians of southern NJ in mind, and housing a pristine Yamaha C7 semi-concert grand.

Our client list includes professional touring musicians, recording studios, concert venues, schools, churches, and music festivals. However, our most important clients are the homes of musicians of all ages - the future of music in south Jersey.

South Jersey Piano is a licensed and insured New Jersey LLC.
