The Parker Family Piano!

The Parker Family Piano!

This is my husband's story and unfortunately he died in December. This piano was purchased in the 1930's for his sister to learn to play the piano. My husband when he was little would lay under the piano and listen while his sister practiced. When he was about 4 he also began lessons with the beloved Maggie Gamble from Roy Utah area. As they both grew and deveoped their taent, they played for the local Ward as well as other civic and church events. Katy, his sister attended a music conservatory in Chicago before moving back to Utah, The piano remained in the family home where my husband continued to become quite the accounplished pianist. After college the piano remained at his parents home until 1976 when we move it to Portland, Oregon. Most of my memories are from that time period and were of my children and husband playing the piano for all the holidays. One memorable event was when the local bishop brought missionaries to our house so Lance could play hymns and have the missionaries try to guess which one it was. We always had a holiday party and Lance would play while everyone stood around the piano and sang Christmas Carols. As my mother aged he would play for her and it gave her great joy, After retirement we decided to move back to his favorite place, Moab Uath. Of course the piano came with us. Unfortunately, Lance had arthritis in his hands and as it got worse he could no longer play. It was the hardest thing he had to give up as he got older. Now I am moving into a new chapter and moving back to Bend, Oregon to be with my daughter. The piano has been with us for so long that I can't give it up, so it will be moved one more time. I would love to have it refurbished so it could continue to be played and loved in our future.
Dean and Vera Parker of Roy Utah purchased the piano for their daughter in the 30's. it has remained in the family since.

"I have a 45 year old piano that has a great deal of sentimental value as it is the piano my dad gave me as a young girl. Me and my children have learned to love and play music at this piano. Unfortunately, the piano had taken a beating as we have moved cross country multiple times. My dad recently passed away and I wanted to restore the piano. A friend of mine recommended Brigham Larson Pianos and I’m so glad she did. The entire restoration process has been amazing. They listened to what I wanted, made recommendations and kept me updated every step of the way. Today they delivered my piano and I am thrilled with the restoration! It is absolutely beautiful and is exactly what I envisioned! From pickup to delivery the people at Brigham Larson Pianos have been extraordinary! Thank you for restoring a piece of my childhood and a piece of my heart. It is beautiful!" —Kellie Bray

"I can't say enough good things about Brigham Larson Pianos. I inherited a baby grand piano that no one else wanted because it needed significant refurbishing. I researched my options thoroughly. I called all over the country to get estimates. Then someone recommended Brigham Larson, which was just a town away. Not only was Brigham's estimate very reasonable compared to other restorers, but the customer service was incredible. Brigram and his whole staff were great to work with. They kept me informed all along the way. And my piano turned out gorgeous! It looks beautiful and sounds fantastic! Thank you, Brigham Larson, for brining my piano back to life! It will be treasured by family for several more generations!" —Bonnye Wallace

"Brigham Larson is by far the best place for piano restoration! The entire team was kind and informative throughout the process. I was able to meet with Brigham personally and talk about the best options for restoration vs. refurbishment of a 100yr heirloom piano. I never felt pressured to do one or the other. He was honest and truly an expert. We were able to put together a custom plan to fit our family’s needs. The sound and quality is amazing. Highly recommend!" - Amy Card
