Jacob's Music - Jacob's Music is your source for all things piano.  Located on Easton Road in Willow Grove across from the Best Buy, they sell Yamaha Clavinovas like the ones we use at school as well as Steinway Pianos for the most discriminating musical palettes.  Their phone number is 215-568-7800.  If you investing in a piano for your home, be sure to ask for Robert Nolen.  Jacob's Music also has a fantastic rental program, whereby they will bring an acoustic piano to your home, make sure it is in perfect working order and properly tuned and set it up for your use.  The monthly rental is very modest and every penny of it goes into what amounts to an escrow account.  When you decide to purchase a piano (be it electronic or acoustic), you can apply every penny spent on the rental toward the purchase price of the new piano.  You can not beat that!
