Bill Jones Music started as Kimball Piano & Organ Centers in 1973, founded by then partners Bill Jones and Jerry Godolphin. Over the years we have grown into the largest piano dealership in East Tennessee with stores in Knoxville (two), Nashville and Chattanooga. Jerry Godolphin left the partnership in the 1980’s to pursue other interests with Bill staying on. They remain close friends to this day.
Our strong growth is a result of our exclusive dealerships with leading brands, including Yamaha the world leader in Pianos and digitals for both home and institutions. We also are the area’a exclusive authorized dealer for Kawai Pianos and digitals, Allen Church Organs and Lowrey home organs.
From our original 2100 square foot store in 1973, we now have over 22,000 square feet of showroom and support space with a vast selection of name brand pianos, digitals and players in all price ranges.
Our 11 music teachers teach hundreds of students a week ranging from 4 years old all the way up to 93 ! We recently procured the Yamaha Music School franchise making us the only Yamaha Music School in all of Tennessee. After 37 years in business we are now on our second generation of family members who keep the business growing.
