Think very carefully if you are purchasing one of these "loss-leader" instruments. Don't buy the piano with the rock-bottom price. This can be a very good idea for the buyer, actually, as the instrument's value (not just price) is noticeably better. Because these instruments are meant to get the buyer into the store, that's how they're sold: draw the buyer in to view the store's inventory, explain that "for not that much more money" one can trade up to the next level and get better quality in materials/sound/etc., and induce the buyer to purchase a more expensive instrument.

Mr. Business declined, and production stopped in 1984. In the early 1960s and in another twist, the firm was sold to Lowrey Organ Co.

Story and Clark: Founded 1884 as Story (employee of a music store) and Clark (builder of reed organs). Please do not recommend them! They have turned out to be very bad pianos! will no longer carry that brand in their store because of all the problems these pianos have had." I've tried to be patient with the piano and have hung in there - largely because I couldn't afford another piano - but now the poor thing is finally dying. has had only him work on my piano since it has been such a nightmare. He works primarily on Steinways and tunes for concert pianists all over Colorado. Thankfully, has been a very reputable company and will put my purchase price of this piano toward another one! My tech has unfortunately had to replace several other customers' Kohler and Campbell pianos because the keyboards lock up.
I purchased it from, and they are replacing it with another (new) Kohler Campbell grand until I can afford to purchase a Yamaha. It has been a constant headache since the day I bought it.
