Kerry Prosser

Kerry Prosser can trace his passion for the piano business directly to his parents, who established Prosser Pianos in Tacoma, Washington, in 1955. Growing up in the family business, Kerry developed a love for selling pianos and helping customers find the perfect instrument, a trait he proudly inherited from his father. As soon as he was old enough, Kerry became involved in the business, learning the importance of customer service and building lasting relationships. At just 17 years old, he helped sell pianos and organs at the local fair in 1979, using two popular songs of the day, “Spanish Eyes” and “Somewhere My Love,” to attract customers to their tent. When his parents retired, Kerry and his brother Kevin worked together to carry on the family tradition, expanding upon the foundation their parents had established. Kerry was especially passionate about providing his staff with the training and knowledge needed to ensure every customer enjoyed a positive shopping experience. Over the decades, Prosser Pianos served generations of musicians and families, with locations spanning three states. In 2026, following Kerry’s retirement, Prosser Pianos closed its doors after 71 remarkable years in business, leaving behind an enduring legacy of musical inspiration, customer service, and dedication to the piano industry.
