Miller Music
4510 N. Illinois St. (Highway 159), Suite 3,  in Swansea, Illinois  / 618-277-2002
Directions: from St. Louis take I-64 east to the Fairview Heights exit.  Turn right.  Go about 2.5 miles and turn left (at the Outback Steakhouse) onto Corporate Dr.  Go to the next stop sign and turn left onto Smelting Works Rd.  Miller Music is the 2nd building on the left side of the street.

Steve Miller (the owner) will probably meet you there.  He is a pleasant, low pressure (actually, no pressure) fellow.  There are about 40 pianos in the showroom.

Besides the pianos in the showroom, Steve explains that he can order any Weber piano from the Kentucky warehouse and have it delivered to you quickly.  He explains that the Weber is made in Korea and is basically the same piano as the Young Chang - only with a more western name and a different cabinet design.

Miller Music also carries a number of electronic pianos (especially the Kawai digital, their main seller), quite a few guitars and plenty of sheet music.

Steve says that he doesn't get a lot of visitors from St. Louis, but those who do come over the bridge save quite a bit of money.

You can also contact Steve Miller by email: millermusicinc@aol.com


Piano Distributors (Chesterfield)
15464 Olive Blvd / Chesterfield, MO  63017 / 636-536-7955 (not far from Hwy 40 - across from Schnucks)

The new home for Yamaha pianos in the St. Louis area.  Instead of one large showroom, the building is divided into many smaller rooms.  In addition to new Yamaha pianos, they carry several other brands, including some electronic pianos.  Some of the Yamaha pianos have DiskPiano systems already built into them, turning the piano into a self-playing instrument.
