Dunkley Music offers the highest quality instruments, a great selection of sheet music, and the most knowledgeable staff in the state! I have been a loyal customer for 30+ years and will keep coming back. As a professional musician and teacher I value the people at Dunkley Music. The sales staff are musicians and know about the products they provide. The Dunkley technicians have serviced and cleaned many instruments for me over the years, and I would never think of using a tuner other than the Steinway-trained piano tuners at Dunkley Music. We are lucky to have such great support and service available in Idaho!

Doing business with Dunkley Music has been such an enjoyable experience. All the staff we have dealt with have been so professional, caring, and displayed an attitude of wanting to make sure every issue was met. The follow up tuning after the piano was moved was done by Paul Schiller.
Mr. Schiller was so professional, tuned the piano to perfection, and accomplished this in a short amount of time.
I highly recommend Dunkley Music if you are looking for
quality, exceptional service and a large selection of pianos to choose from.

Dunkley is a mainstay for my teaching profession. They maintain a current and accurate database that is readily available to the public by zip code so prospective students can research my education and teaching qualifications. Dunkley's music inventory is very large so students and teachers can find an array of challenging literature and popular material. Their friendly and courteous staff is ready to assist with any question pertaining to instruments or music. They have the resources to order anything your heart desires. I love Dunkley because they provide virtually everything I need as a music instructor, including a recital hall and instrument repair.

Great Job all the way around. Mark - thank you for being able to schedule us so quickly. And I was equally impressed with Archie and Herman. They showed up on time - worked well together as a team - communicated well with each other - were both careful with our instruments, and were polite and friendly with us. They went above and beyond trying to fit the organ through a door that was clearly too small and without complaining set it up in a different part of the house. And although our piano was "heavier than the average grand" - they did a phenomenal job in getting it moved. (They must have had an extra helping of Wheaties that morning)!! Two thumbs up to a great crew!!!

When we received a donated spinet piano from the family of one of our former students, we members of the music department at Lowell Scott Middle School were excited to have it delivered and tuned. Dunkley Music made the arrangements for a reasonable fee. Mr. Smith was very clear and consistent with his communication with us, and the movers were punctual and efficient. I watched with appreciation while the two gentleman moved the instrument quickly and carefully through an occupied classoom, a room with built-in seating tiers, no less. Once in the assigned practice room, the movers lifted the piano with a simultaneous gesture that sent the dolly rolling gently out of the way, obviously a practiced procedure. Mr. Schiller was very professional and effective with his tuning.

Excellent experience with Dunkley from setting up the appt with Randy Smith and his prompt confirmation as to time, place and name of the tuner. Info was complete and accurate. Jared Phelps, the piano tuner, met me at our lodge on time and was very courteous and professional in his manner. He will tune my home piano in the near future.
Your company and the service deserves my 5-star review.

Needed to rent a baby grand piano for the Zions Bank Grand opening. To be used by Curtis Stigers, Piano arrived ontime and was professionally delivered to the 17th floor. the 6' Steinway was brand new and beautiful in all aspects. the tuner was the best i have ever worked with in my 16 years of producing events. He even took the time to explain how and why he tunes with a fork. he was so precise that he told me we were A sharp due to the elevation and the " newness " of the piano. i would recommend Dunkley's to ANYONE needing ANYTHING piano hands down. prices were very reasonable for the services provided
thanks everyone

Marion and Teri do a tremendous service for senior citizens who want to do something they've always wanted to do but didn't have the time. They are very gracious and I really enjoy going to the 2:00 Tuesday keyboard class. Dunkley Music has been in Boise for as long as I can remember and I feel very comfortable going there. It is an icon in downtown Boise and I'm so glad to be a small part of it. I tell everyone I know about the pressure free lessons for everyone of all ages! You never know who might be listening!
Thank you.

Dunkley's almost always has what I'm looking for in music, and if they don't have it, they order it for me and I get it in good time. The employees are friendly, courteous, and helpful, and I love that they know me and are willing to meet my needs! And I love that Dunkley's is very community-minded, both in service and opportunities for recitals.

Dunkley Music is just a wonderful music store. I've been a customer there since moving here when I was just a kid - I've used Dunkley Music through work with Blue Thunder and Boise FUMC, and on a personal basis for those general music needs. What makes Dunkley Music so wonderful, though, are the people who work there. They are all so friendly and helpful, and work toward the good of the community as a whole. Thank you Dunkley Music!

As a 35-year customer of Dunkley Music, I have enjoyed a long-term relationship with founder, William K. Dunkley, and now for many years with son Mark Dunkley. Dunkley Music has served our every requirement in the NNU Piano Department over all these years. We have purchased many pianos over time, including two Steinway D Concert Grand Pianos for our performance venues, 5 Boston pianos for practice rooms (delivered just this past week) and many others, such as Kawai grands and verticals, over the decades.
Dunkleys is a full-service music shop, enabling them to sell new pianos, then maintain them, from tuning to rebuilding. The entire Dunkley staff is first-rate and has efficiently attended to our every need. Those needs have been many, given the fact that we’re a music department with 50 music majors, 30 pianos and several hundred students enrolled in music classes each year. Dunkleys also has by far the largest selection of pianos in the valley at terrific prices.

Dunkley Music is a complete music store. They are top-notch in every category (pianos, instruments, sheet music, and teaching studios). The beautiful recital hall has gorgeous Steinways. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, courteous, helpful, and friendly. We are fortunate to have Dunkley Music in Boise!

I have purchased 3 pianos from Dunkley Music. They were honest and helpful with my choices and the follow-up services is dependable. They have a wide selection and before you buy they check out the instrument so there are no surprises.

Dunkley Music has the most amazing customer service approach I have had the pleasure of
This incredible store went so many extra miles for me I do not know where to begin with my praise. When the piano I had purchased for my home was too large, Mona said " No problem....we will find you another one which fits." When it was time for delivery and I explained about moving the pain up stairs and around a corner, Mr. Dunkley himself came out to see the layout so Dunkley could make the delivery. When I asked for the store to hold the piano while we built, thinking 6 months at the longest, Mona told me not to worry. When 6 months turned into a year and I knew I had better take the piano off the store's hands,even though I knew once it was delivered we would eventually move it to its permanent spot within our home, Mona told me she would rather have me wait and have it delivered when the permanent spot in our home was ready for the piano. Mona worked so hard from the very beginning to get me the piano which would meet my needs, produce the sound I wanted and still fit into our home. She greets you with a smile and never seems like anything I ask is too much. What an exceptionally enjoyable experience this has been. Dunkley Music is amazing and so is Mona. If every store had the customer service which Mona and Dunkley Music provide, there would never be an unhappy customer anywhere again. This store's customer service is as good as it gets.

We took our son's trumpet in for a repair and were told it would take 1 1/2 weeks for the extensive repairs it needed. They called us that afternoon to tell us the repairs were done. Amazing service. When we picked it up, the repair department took the time to explain to my young son how to care for his trumpet so we avoid these extensive repairs again in the future. Thank you.

As a piano teacher, I have been working with Dunkley Music for over 15 years. I have found them to be consistently pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. I have a master’s degree in piano performance, and have found their staff to be very knowledgeable; they are musicians, too! Their employees work very hard to help you find exactly what you need, and I’ve never felt pressured to purchase something more than I actually wanted.
I’m incredibly particular when it comes to piano tuning, and have found that both of their technicians are more than capable, they are excellent. Their piano movers are polite and competent.
I purchased a grand piano at Dunkley’s, and it was a very pleasant experience. Mona Morrison (as well as their other sales staff) will listen to what you want and will “matchmake” the perfect piano for you, without trying to sell you “just a little more”. If Mona recommends a different piano, you really should listen, because she works hard to find the best piano for your needs and wishes.
I am continually purchasing print music for my students and myself. Dunkley Music has the best selection, as well as competent staff to find exactly what you want, whether they have it in stock, order it in, or print it off from the internet.
There are music stores located closer to my home, but I go the “extra miles” because Dunkley music staff and selection are miles ahead of the competition. They will go the “extra mile” for you!

Our need for a piano tuner presented itself late in the morning on a show day at Taco Bell Arena…We reached out to Dunkley following the lead of the production team at the Arena and could not have been happier with the technician they sent to tune the piano…They were on-time and very flexible…They were there for us in a pinch….

Tom Phelps was very helpful in explaining the benefits of a baby grand piano. He was very informative in teaching me about the history of the Kawai piano, which was very interesting. Tom was very personable and friendly. Teri Fife was also very helpful in our decision to buy the baby grand. The piano delivery men were very professional and friendly. We also really appreciated Cathy for delivering a light bulb to us on her way home from work Friday night. The customer service was great and we ended up with an amazing piano that my children are thoroughly enjoying playing. Purchasing our piano from Dunkley's has been a very positive experience!
