Our Piano Legacy

A quarter-century of dedication to preserving the artistry and beauty of pianos across the Midwest

From Passion to Profession

Brights Piano Sales & Service began in 1998 when Augustus Shields turned his lifelong love for piano music into a mission to preserve these magnificent instruments. What started as weekend piano tuning for local churches has grown into Iowa's most trusted piano care service.

Our commitment to excellence has remained unchanged: every piano that comes through our workshop receives the same meticulous care and attention as if it were our own family heirloom. We believe in the power of music to enrich lives and communities.

Today, we're proud to serve hundreds of piano owners throughout the Midwest, from concert halls and recording studios to family homes where children take their first piano lessons.
