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. To see a bit more about what is involved in the restoration, please have a look at the the restoration process page.
As we are often out and about tuning, please do give us a call to make an appointment to visit us so you can see our pianos and receive honest, straightforward advice. 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 restored piano comes with a guarantee of our workmanship for a period of 3 years.
DELIVERY
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.
To help with the initial cost of purchasing a piano, we are pleased to offer you the opportunity to buy and take delivery of any of our pianos for a payment of 50%, followed by 3 equal payments starting from the following month.
