Steinway Piano Gallery Orlando
About
Steinway Piano Gallery Orlando, also listed in some local directories under the name Pianoexpo, operates a piano showroom in Altamonte Springs and describes itself on its own website, steinwayorlando.com, as the largest dealer of Steinway pianos in Florida and the only authorized Steinway and Sons dealer serving Central Florida. The gallery is owned by Kathy and Gary Grimes, according to the business’s own site, which also states the company was founded in 1987, giving it one of the longer, better documented histories among the small music related businesses operating in Altamonte Springs.
The showroom carries the full range of instruments under the Steinway family of brands, including Steinway, Boston, Essex, and the Spirio self playing piano line, and the gallery’s own description notes it displays more than one hundred pianos across a showroom that also includes a recital hall and teaching studios. This combination of retail showroom, performance space, and instructional space is a more elaborate setup than most independent music businesses in the Altamonte Springs area, reflecting the significant investment required to carry an inventory of grand and upright pianos at this scale.
Beyond piano sales, the gallery describes itself as home to the Steinway Society, a charitable program that provides free piano lessons and pianos to underserved children in the greater Orlando area, a detail that points to a business with ties to the broader Central Florida music education community beyond its retail operations. The gallery also offers piano maintenance and consignment services, giving current piano owners a path to service an existing instrument or sell one through the same business that sold it originally.
There is a discrepancy worth noting between the address listed in some business directories, 303 E Altamonte Dr Ste 1225, and the address given on the gallery’s own website, 520 West State Road 436 Suite 1140. Both addresses are in Altamonte Springs, and it is possible the business relocated within the city at some point without every directory catching up, or that the gallery maintains more than one point of contact. We were able to independently confirm the East Altamonte Drive address falls within Altamonte Springs city limits using Census Bureau geocoding data, so that is the address used for this listing, but prospective visitors should confirm the current showroom location directly before making a trip, since piano shopping typically involves an in person visit to test instruments.
For Altamonte Springs residents and Central Florida piano students specifically interested in a Steinway authorized dealer, rather than a general instrument shop, Steinway Piano Gallery Orlando is a specialized destination with a documented, family owned history stretching back nearly four decades. Reaching the gallery directly at 407-339-3771 is recommended both to confirm the current showroom address and to schedule an appointment given the scale and value of the inventory involved.
