Hall Piano Company

John Wright Jr. grew up in the piano business.  His father and his uncle, Dan Hall, formed the Hall Piano Company in 1958.  The store is currently located right on David Drive in Metairie, Louisiana, not too far from the first location, which John recalled running around in as a small child.  Like his father and uncle, John developed a true passion for the music business and was proud to be able to continue the legacy of the family piano store.  John played a key role in the expansion of the product lines and continues in the store’s rich history of customer service.  When his uncle was getting ready to retire, John teamed with his co-worker and friend, Steven Kincher to purchase the store.  Together they have been active in their community and continue to build the Hall Piano Company name throughout the area.
