Interview Date
Job Title
Founder
Company Name
Metroplex Piano

Darren Speir often reflects back on the Texas music store his uncle and his father opened.  His father was a piano technician and helped build the store's customer list based on his attention to detail and the care he put into each piano tuning and repair.  After working in his father's piano store moving and tuning pianos, along with selling used pianos, Darren purchased the Dallas Piano Warehouse building that Walt Burchfield had started years earlier, and changed the name to Metroplex Piano Warehouse.  Today the company has ten locations, with its most recent addition in Little Rock, and continues to serve their customers in much the same way Darren's dad did, with attention to the small details.
