"The piano market has been in decline for years due to increasing saturation and decreasing relevance," said Jones. "In today's marketplace the successful dealers are embracing both technology and best-practices in terms of retailing concepts. It is Tom's fresh vision and approach to the piano market that motivated me to come out of retirement."
