Piano Sales and Award-Winning Service
With growing piano stores in Columbus–Dublin, Cleveland–Beachwood, Detroit–Troy, and Pittsburgh–Wexford, Solich Piano frequently partners with musical and educational institutions across the Midwest by providing pianos to numerous colleges and conservatories in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and throughout the Midwest, with partners including Otterbein University, Pittsburgh Opera, Detroit Opera, Cleveland State University and more.
Completely blind since birth, Thomas Solich, our founder and president, is a family-oriented and conservatory trained concert pianist and educator with a music education background, which sets us apart and fuels our customer-centered musical expertise and culture. His leadership as a pianist inspires all our piano consultants at Solich Piano stores to uphold a singular and personalized experience for each individual piano shopper.
A Reputation of Excellence Twenty Years in the Making
Solich Piano started as one showroom in Boardman, Ohio. Word spread through families, teachers, and churches. Schools started calling for pianos, then called again.
That kind of trust built the company. Our Columbus showroom came next. Otterbein University made Solich Piano its exclusive piano partner, a relationship that still stands today. Yamaha named Solich Piano its exclusive dealer for the entire state of Ohio, eventually naming Solich Piano as its National Piano Dealer of the Year in 2024 and 2025, the highest honor Yamaha gives any retailer.
Growth kept pace with that trust. Solich Piano expanded into Pittsburgh, then into Michigan, then acquired Modern Piano, a name Pittsburgh families had trusted for twenty years.
The newest is Dublin, serving Columbus with the largest showroom yet. It exists for the same reason the first one did. To give people room to find the right piano from an increasingly long list of options.
Our Team
Thomas Solich
Owner, Founder, & President
Thomas Solich brings a pianist’s ear, a teacher’s perspective and a lifetime of musical study to Solich Piano. Blind since birth, he began studying piano at age five, competed extensively through grade school in both piano and wrestling, and graduated from the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory near Cleveland. His experience as a concert pianist and educator informs the standards behind the company he founded in 2005.
For Thomas Solich, choosing a premium piano involves close attention to tone, touch and expressive response. Those musical qualities inform his hand-selection of instruments and the possibilities our experts introduce in the showroom. An inspiring piano can invite a student to practice, give an experienced player new ways to shape a phrase, or become a lasting luxury centerpiece of family life.
That spirit of discovery guides the experience at our four piano superstores in Columbus–Dublin, Cleveland–Beachwood/Woodmere, Pittsburgh–Wexford and Detroit–Troy. Our in-store experts listen to what brings you in, demonstrate meaningful differences among instruments and help you explore pianos that will enrich your musical and aesthetic design goals for years to come. Whether you arrive with a particular brand or model in mind or have a special room you’ve always hoped to fill with a piano, our staff of teachers, composers, and tuners offer personal guidance to help you discover the perfect piano for your lifestyle.
Our selection of new and used pianos serves individuals, families, teachers and institutions. For those ready to take the next step, we welcome trade-in evaluations toward an upgrade, no matter where a piano was purchased or how it was acquired. Helpful financing options and personal assistance with delivery arrangements make it easier to execute your purchase.
