Our Story

A Family Legacy Built on Music.

Grand Piano Haus wasn't built overnight. It was built over generations. Founder Fritz Tasch's journey from war-torn Europe to master craftsman laid the foundation for a family business rooted in integrity, expertise and a lifelong passion for music.

Today, that legacy continues through Jeff Tasch and the Grand Piano Haus team, helping families, educators and performers find extraordinary pianos with honest guidance and personalized service.

I am thrilled with my new piano and so grateful for Jeff's expertise and patience as I tried many and kept coming back to the same Kayserberg Artist upright. It was great doing business with Jeff and learning from him along the way.
