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
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.

George Rogers & Sons grand piano
A lovely small grand piano from one of our favourite makers.
The Rogers grands of this period were built to a high standard and often featured the more advanced roller action as opposed to the cheaper D Type actions more often found in these small grands.
This piano does have the roller action, as well as an 88 note ivory keyboard - again, a sign of a quality instrument.
The cabinet is finished in a fiddle-back mahogany veneer and has been completely stripped and repolished.
Internally, all the damper system and action has been restored.
A lot of work goes into the restoration of these grand pianos.
Probably the best example this type of piano available in Ireland at the moment.

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.

The duet stool pictured is included too.

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.
