In 1998, Steinway Piano Galleries, formerly The Piano Gallery, was acquired by Jordan Kitt's Music headquartered in Washington, D.C., making it part of what would become the nation's largest piano retailer, and opening up a variety of new products, including Steinway pianos, and more competitive pricing to the piano buyers of Atlanta.

Immediately following the acquisition, sales increased over 300 percent from 1998 to 1999. In January 2000, the company changed its name to Steinway Piano Galleries and renovated a 14,000-square-foot facility in Sandy Springs which it now calls home. Its 150-capacity Barbara Kirby Recital Hall hosts numerous recitals by students of area teachers as well as Atlanta Steinway Society events each year.
