Merriam Music

Merriam Music has and always will be a music company by musicians. For 25 years our mission has been to unleash the power of music in every single person. Our amazing journey began with Alan Merriam's dream back in 1988. He himself was a performing jazz musician in Ottawa at the age of 15, and went on to further study jazz at the Humber College School of Music and traditional piano under some of Canada's most celebrated piano coaches. He performed on several TV and radio programs and also traveled across Canada with his trio. His experience working in Canada's largest pianos showrooms as a very successful salesperson also instilled a great love and appreciation for pianos and their builders. By combining methodical investment practices with a basic financial conservatism, along with his passion for music and the arts, Merriam Music has grown to become the most successful, progressive and innovative music organizations in the country. Merriam Pianos boasts one of the most impressive collections of pianos in the world, with the very best from Germany, Japan, the United States, China, Indonesia, and more. Our facilities have been specifically designed and built with pianos in mind, so our acoustics, retail spaces, and warehouse / service facilities are without parallel in the industry. We're incredibly proud of our lineup of Grotrian, Shigeru Kawai, Mason & Hamlin, Kawai, Perzina, Steinberg, Roland, Bolan, and Korg and we strive to make every customer's visit a worthwhile and magical experience. Most importantly, Merriam does the shopping for you. Our global pricing policy means that you receive the best value for your dollar, guaranteed. At every step of the process we promise to deliver uncompromising value, credible information and service, and an outstanding customer experience.
