Tour Our Amazing New Store in Santa Ana

Hey, everybody. I want you to see our new store in Santa Ana. We're very excited. Stay tuned. Hi, this is Blend Tributes, and I'm speaking to you today from our new store in Santa Ana at the Mainplace Mall. We're very excited about this store, and we've done a lot of work to get it to the point where it is today. Still a few little items left, but we're ready for our closeup. So we're filming this right at dusk, so you're gonna be able to see the store with some natural light, and also you're gonna be able to see it with just our own lighting in here, which you'll see is a lot. We have some incredible lighting in this store, which makes it very bright even at night. One of the great things about this store is it's centrally located in Orange County. We are off of the 5 Freeway, and we're where major freeways come together, including the 55, the 57, and the 22. We really couldn't be in a more central, easy-to-get-to location. This store is probably the epitome of what we have created over the years, because it has everything, everything from entry-level used pianos to the very, very best pianos built in the world today from Steinway, for instance. I'm going to give you a little guided tour of this store, starting from the front door, and one of the things I really have to make very clear to you, you do not need to enter the main place, mall in Santa Ana, to get into our store. Now, while we do have an entrance from the mall, you do not need to enter the mall to visit us, because we have our own doors right off of the parking lot. We are basically in the ground floor of what is the food court, and we're opposite a place called Lay's Pizza. So if you drive around the mall and you see Lay's Pizza, and if you look opposite of that, on the other side of the main place mall, main side, is where you'll find us. You'll see our pianos in the window and our own entry door right there. So let me guide you through, as if you're walking through the store, what you're going to see when you enter. The first thing you're going to see is a sea, no pun intended, of pianos. There are many grand pianos, upright pianos, and as you walk into the store, you'll see to the left, a digital piano section, where we have digital pianos from Roland, Casio, Dexabel, and Artesia, along with a brand new product called the One Smart Piano. And we're going to have a video on the One Smart Piano as soon as we get our first one. So we have all of the models generally available, but currently, because of the pandemic, most companies have an extreme shortage of digital pianos. We're buying everything we can possibly get. There are many digital piano lines on the market today, Roland, Casio, Yamaha, Kawai, et cetera, but there's only one that has the flair of Italy, and that's the Dexabel, which is hand-built in Italy by one of the largest producers of electronic musical instruments called Proel in Italy. Look at this beautiful design in the Ferrari red. When you walk in our store, you're going to be dazzled by the beauty and the excitement of the store. In every area of the store, we have something going on with flat screen presentations, depending on the pianos you're looking at. For example, in the area where we have some Baldwin's, there's a Baldwin presentation. In the areas where we have a Rittmüller, there's a Rittmüller presentation. In the Roland, there's a Roland presentation. Throughout the whole store, we've gone to great lengths to make it an exciting environment for you. One of the first things you're going to see is our big video wall when you walk in. Right now, it's just a giant aquarium, but soon it will be other things, including pictures of our pianos and our Hollywood piano, famous neon sign from 1928. So as you walk further into the store, down the main aisle to the right are upright pianos. And we have uprights in every size, every finish you can think of from every major manufacturer. You see Baldwin, you see Yamaha, you see Kawai, you see Steinway, Grotrian, Wilhelm Grotrian, Prisina. I mean, there's just a beautiful selection. Do you want black? We have black. Do you want white? We have white. We have red. We have blue. We have straight leg pianos. We have French leg pianos. We have everything you could possibly want in an upright piano. We have grand pianos too. We have red. We have white. We have black. We have wood finish pianos. So anything you want, we have it from the tiniest baby grand to the largest pianos. If you look to the left of the aisle, we have our hand-built pianos. So this is a collection of mostly European pianos along with Steinway, American Steinway pianos. And the European pianos that we specialize in are some of the very best in the world. And some of the few pianos built in the world today where the original family is still building them. Many piano companies today are owned by large corporations. There's no piano people at the helm. But when you look at our premier piano, which is Steingraber and Son, well, that family is now on the seventh generation building the pianos. And we're actually very friendly with the current generation and his kids, Udo Steingraber. Now, the passion that they have for piano building is something I've never seen in all of my years and amazing when you think of the generations before. Now, this was the piano of Liszt. This was the piano of Wagner. This was the piano of the great of the immortals. And in fact, the original piano factory is still there. And it's in Bayreuth, Germany. And there is a room there they call the Liszt room where there's a piano that Liszt actually played on. And you can play that piano. And if you ever wanna go over there and see it, let us know, we can arrange it. I have played that piano. Now, we also have the Grotrian piano. That's a piano that some of you may not have heard of, but it's also known as Grotrian Steinweg around the world. And this piano was founded by someone named Heinrich Steinweg. You may not have heard of him either, but he moved to the United States and anglicized his name and it became Henry Steinweg. So this original piano company that he founded and later was run by his son, Theodor, is still there, still producing incredible hand-built pianos in Braunschweig, Germany. And we're very proud to represent them. And they also have a lower price line to honor Wilhelm who took over the factory after Theodor. So we have the Wilhelm Grotrian and that gives you Grotrian quality and Grotrian sound in a much more affordable price point. In addition to those, we also have the phenomenal Petra piano. Now, there again, you have the sixth generation of the family still running the company and each one is an individual hand-built work of art. Petra has within its umbrella also the Antonin Petra and we have the Antonin in stock. And over the last three years, they've made something like 25 Antonins. So talk about hand-built. This is really a work of art and we have an Antonin upright piano. It's just under 54 inch Antonin upright. And if you want something that's the ultimate upright, that could be the choice for you. In addition to all of these high-end pianos in every size, we have everything from a concert grand Grotrian to a Wilhelm baby grand that's only five foot one. So everything from the smallest to the largest in hand-built pianos. In addition to all the hand-built European grand pianos, we also have vertical pianos hand-built. Look at this lovely Petra in wood finish with curved legs or these incredible Steingraber uprights that many people say are the very best made in the world. And we have the tallest piano made in the world is a 138 Steingraber and it's just phenomenal. We also have the beautiful Schulte Pullman pianos hand-built in Italy. This room opens into another room which we created specifically for Steingraber and we're still working out the acoustics of this room but you can see it at the moment, we have some lovely Steinway pianos that are all rebuilt at a museum quality restoration like brand new in Europe. So this is our beautiful high-end salon in our store. Now, off to the right from that is our hallway of used pianos. And as you can see, we have a really lovely selection of almost new looking used pianos in almost any finish, high gloss, walnut, rosewood, satin finishes. So along this back wall here, you will see all of those things. And then once you reach the end of that hall, we have a room where we have rental pianos and we have piano rentals in all different styles generally. We usually keep a nice handful in this location. And we also have some pre-owned grand pianos in the back like this Weinbach, which is a product of Petrov and this lovely Kawai. So we always have a nice selection of pianos in this back room. So I'm sure you can see why we're so excited about this new location. And we invite you to please come down and visit us here. We're open seven days a week. Right now we're open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. And Sunday we're open from 12 to six. Our phone number here is 714-432-1100. That's 714-432-1100.
