Valley Piano Co. is celebrating 52 years of business in 2026!
Chapter 1: The Origin Story
Valley Piano Co. was offically established in January 1974. Prior to that, the business was known as Valley Furniture & Appliance. That is where Alfred Chenowith started as a salesman. During his time as salesman he convinced the owner of the furniture store to add musical instruments to the existing inventory which consisted of couches, kitchen tables, mattresses, refrigerators, washer & dryers, tvs and stereos.
Alfred's interest in musical instruments came from his days as a gigging musician in the local band, The Galaxies.
After a few years he was able to secure a loan to buy the business. As the new owner he phased out the furniture and appliances to only sell musical instruments. He renamed the business to Valley Piano Co.
