Dickerson’s Tri-City Pianos Background

The Dickerson Family has been in the piano business since 1875. We have passed our expertise and knowledge down through generations through our piano tuning and service businesses. Dave Dickerson started a piano tuning and service business in 1980, and he started his first piano storefront which was open from 1990 to 2000. While Dave has serviced and repaired pianos all across Central and Eastern Washington over the years, he continued to see the need for a quality piano provider here in the Tri-Cities.

In the summer of 2019, we acquired our second piano storefront which is currently Dickerson’s Tri-City Pianos here at the uptown mall in Richland Washington. (What used to be known as Tri-City Music and before that Van Gogh’s Pianos and Organs, since the mid-1970s.)

Our storefront is the Official Central Washington Yamaha Distributor. This means we sell the market’s highest quality pianos, Yamaha, the leading brand on the market today. You can also count on us to have the best quality used pianos available in the Tri-Cities.

At Dickerson’s, you can expand your talents with piano classes, and we love helping music teachers, students, and music enthusiasts alike to find the perfect piano for their needs, and their dreams.

Our lead piano teacher Bobbie, was trained by local legend Bob McCray, and has been in education and teaching music for many years. Bobbie is our co-owner here with Dave and together their goal is to provide a space where you can learn, experience the joys of playing piano, and find your dream piano.

Mission & Vision

We passionately believe that pianos make a positive difference in your life. We’re here to help as many people as possible find and enjoy playing their dream piano every day.

Life is more fun when you know how to play.

Lisa Ortiz

My name is Lisa Ortiz, I was born in Cuba, I came to this country in a Boat in 1980 it was a bittersweet story for another time, moved to California were I lived for 17 years, got married to the Love of my life in 1987 and moved to Oregon lived there for just a short time, then moved back to California, had 2 beautiful children, started working in a dental office as a Sterilization technician, after 2 months decided to become a dental assistant and just a few months later received my training and received my Register Dental Assistants license. Worked for several dentists in the same office and decided to venture and get paid more money and that was the beginning of my long Journey. The economy was not good so we decided to venture back to Oregon where my husband’s family was and moved there in 1997 being in a small town was not my thing so we decided to move to Washington state and there I decided to venture into an Oral Surgery Office that was an amazing experience making really good money by the way!! until I decide to venture again after 17 1/2 years.

I went to work in another Oral Surgery practice, making good money also but change careers to the front office, not my forte but worth a try while there I met a friend that introduced me to Senegece in July 2017 I overheard her talking about this amazing lipstick that did not come off I try it and honestly did not like it made my lips look old, well my lips were so dry I had a chapstick in every coat pocket drawer in every room of my house, no I’m not exaggerating it was bad, the well short story my spline instructed me to use the gloss every day for 4 days then try it again, well 3 years later I don’t own any chapstick my Lipsence and gloss are my best friends, did I tell you I have 4 amazing grandchildren that are my life and my main focus my goal is to be able to take them all with the family on a Senegence vacation!! Yes, this is my dream!!

Now I have been working for Dickerson’s Tricity Pianos for almost 3 years I absolutely love working in a friendly environment where I can play the piano and help serve our community in so many different ways! I love helping others and love when our friendly customers come back over and over and play our pianos and they are so happy with our services!!

I've always had a thing for Yamaha pianos and all of their products in general, so looking on FB Market place a came across an add that at first impression seemed to be fake, well I decide to reply to the add of a beautiful and very rare Yamaha GP1000, I got an answer from the nicest lady, I thought I was going to get a reply like "please send me your email address" or "ot was my aunts please contact her here" bit instead it was a very proffesional human being, someone who was extremely helpful and knowleadgeable, Lisa answered all my questions I asked for more pictures of the piano, I asked for a video of someone playing it, and she delivered, then I came to find out the piano was brand new. I was shocked I could not believe the pice for such a beautiful piano, specially considering the rarity. I was not planning on purchasing a piano so ot was not in my budget, then Lisa told me of the great financing options they have, and of course she helped me thru the whole process I got approved and they delivered my piano, at no extra cost from Richland to Monroe WA, that's a 3 and a half hours away for those of you that don't know. Lisa all I can say is thank you and thank you, you are awesome.

Dickerson's Tri-City Pianos provided my music classroom in the Mabton School District with a new LC4 Yamaha Piano Lab. They were so helpful in all parts of the process from providing a bid, to ordering, to setting-up, and making sure everything was ready for the first day of school. They are super helpful and super friendly.

We purchased a Yamaha P-125 Digital Piano in early December, 2021. We also purchased a piano stand and sitting bench. We love the piano. Our grandchildren love to play it too. We are so happy we made this purchase. It has provided hours of playing and enjoyment, a very worthwhile investment. The people at the store were very helpful and friendly.

This store is great for not only purchasing a new piano and keyboard, but they will also rent and deliver a baby grand piano for a special party! They made our Mother’s 70th birthday party a dream come true.A few weeks later after your piano settles they come and tune it for you till it sounds beautiful.Thanks again TriCity Music!

Excellent staff and ownership. Unlike other piano stores in the area, Tri-City Music cares about promoting music and local musicians. They host lunch hour concerts on Facebook, and paid me to perform one recently. It was an all-around great experience. Haven't bought from them, but if you want to support music locally, buy from them instead of that other piano store on Jadwin in Richland.

Buying our piano at Tri-City music was a surprisingly pleasant experience. This store had an impressive selection of new and previously owned pianos. Our sales person, Lisa, encouraged us to try out each of the pianos to find the one that best suited our needs. We feel that we ultimately purchased a piano that provided a perfect balance between price and performance. Without reservation we recommend this music store.

Allan really went above and beyond. He was patient with me (and my kids!), Was very knowledgeable and had very quick service. He was readily and kindly available outside the listed business hours just with a quick phone call. Definitely a no pressure environment, Allan just wants you to find the"right" piano for you.

Tri-City Music is definitely a 5 star business. Allan was very helpful and intuitive to my wife's needs in selecting a piano. We are extremely happy with the selection, service and support from Allan.
