SALES
As our main business involves the tuning, repairs and restoration of pianos, we don't have a huge showroom full of expensive pianos. However, we always try to maintain a small selection of pianos available for purchase. These are the pianos that we love to restore. There are many pianos out there, but the majority of them are now past their best, or even when newly built, were only ever mediocre. Because of this, a lot of our time is spent sourcing the right pianos for restoration. Each one is personally selected, and is an instrument we would happily have in our own home. We spend a lot of time on every piano that comes in to our workshop and a considerable amount of work is done on each of them too - far more than is actually listed in the descriptions below. Hopefully this can be be seen in the photos of our pianos listed.
As we are often out and about tuning, give us call to make an appointment to visit. We will give you honest, straightforward advice, along with a cup of tea (and a biscuit if you're lucky!) This page is updated regularly, however, if you do not see what you are looking for in the photos below, call us as we may have something suitable not shown; or at the very least we can discuss your requirements. Every piano comes with a guarantee of our workmanship for a period of 3 years.
Delivery of pianos is a costly business and needs not only knowledge and experience, but also the correct equipment too.
Most of the time we will deliver your piano free of charge, but if you happen to live the other end of the country, we may have to add a small fee - rest assured, we don't make a profit on delivery - the fee only covers our extra time and costs incurred.

Fazer upright piano
We used to sell new Fazer pianos back in the early 90's. They were and still are great little pianos. A definite bonus was that they used Herrburger Brooks Langer 80 piano actions and keys which were much better than the pianic and detoa actions found in much of the competition.
This 109 model is finished in their simulated walnut finish, meaning it is a laminate rather than a wood veneer. Because of this, these cases are tough and you can also wipe them down and clean off marks with a damp cloth.
Internally, the action is still like new, as are the keys.
We have cleaned the action, regulated it and cleaned and levelled the keys.
All brass work has also been repolished.
