Hi Kate7! 

I found a Canadian trade database where you may search for import and
export statistics for the products you’re looking for, however, you
must pay a fee for each report that you retrieve.

For example I performed a search for imports of new and used pianos by
country of origin.

This report would cost C$159 for the year 2003.
This same report for the years 2002 and 2003 would cost C$198.

A report for exports of pianos from Canada by country would cost C$21
for the year 2003.
For both years 2002-2003 it would cost C$39.

---------------------------------------------

As to where these products are sold in Canada:

I performed a search for businesses in Canada and obtained the
following listings:

Musical Instruments - Retail (1163) 
Musical Instruments - Whol &/Or Mfrs (104) 
Musical Instruments - Supplies & Accessories (66) 
Musical Instruments - Rental (49) 
Musical Instruments - Supplies & Accessories - Whol &/Or Mfrs (30) 
Musical Instruments - Used (30)

Pianos are generally available in the above locations.

---------------------------------------------------------


I can provide you with the link to the Canadian Trade Database where
you may purchase the import and export statistics you require and the
link to the listings where pianos are usually for sale.

Would this be a satisfactory answer to your question?

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks, 
Bobbie7
