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
51cqEZPi5gL._AC_.jpg

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.

Bentley upright piano

Bentley pianos were manufactured in Woodchester, Gloucestershire. They were one of the last manufacturers of pianos in the UK.

This model was one of the last produced before their closure.

It has a lovely crown cut mahogany cabinet, featuring an oval marquetry  inlay in the top panel.

Internally, this model is fitted with the modern Herrburger Brooks Langer 80 action. 

The piano has had very little use so far, so this is a great opportunity to purchase a lovely looking piano that will last for many decades to come...

Waldstein upright piano

Waldstein pianos are manufactured by the reputable Pearl River company in China, the same company that makes the Essex pianos for Steinway. They are known as being one of China's top piano builders.

This one is in a fairly unusual beech cabinet, making it a good match for lighter furniture, such as oak or maple.

Internally, it is as good as a new piano, with hardly any wear at all. The action has been regulated and the 88 note keyboard has been cleaned and buffed.

The duet stool pictured is included too.

Yamaha U3M upright piano

The Yamaha U1 and U3 pianos are among the most popular models in the world. Known for their build quality, touch and sound, they are a great piano for any level of pianist.

This U3M, built in their Hamamatsu factory in Japan, has been restored to showroom condition, with work including new loop cords, new damper felt, key bushings and tapes. All our restored Yamaha pianos are supplied by a well established Japanese company.

The black polyester finish has been repolished and all brasswork cleaned.

Although the cabinet design differs from the U1, the real difference is in the sound, where the larger soundboard results in a stronger bass than the U1. 

With new U3's fast approaching €15000, these restored models represent excellent value.

A new adjustable piano stool is included with this piano.

Although the U1's don't have quite as much power as the U3's they still have plenty, and are that little bit smaller all round.

A new adjustable piano stool is included with this piano.
