Piano Rehearsal Rooms in Wimbledon SW19
UK Piano Page
Our Piano Practice Rooms in London are located at Hanna Pianos Wimbledon Showroom where we also have a piano workshop. This is without doubt a pianist’s ideal rehearsal space. We designed our two Piano Practice Rooms specifically as quiet, spacious spaces with the following customer in mind:
Both rooms have air conditioning, lots of light and large windows for fresh air.
If required Hanna Pianos are also happy to provide heaters during the colder times of the year. Our Piano practice rooms are also available for use as a venue for auditions oe examinations. Located conveniently near both Tram, northern Line, District Line and two bus stops, the rooms are available six days a week.
Hanna & Sons Piano Practice Rooms are used by pianists of all ages as a practice room, and also by teachers to host their lessons.
All the pianos are tuned regularly and unlike other London piano practice rooms, music stands can be provided. We pride ourselves on the warmth and friendly relaxed environment of our family run business; you are welcome to wait before your appointment in our showroom next door and enjoy our range of repaired, reconditioned and new pianos, or perhaps relax with a pre-lesson cup of tea or coffee. We are delighted to offer free wi-fi.
Room 1 is a modern build extension to our Yamaha showroom, renovated in 2013. There is a wide choice for players of any of our Grand, Baby Grand and Upright pianos.
Whilst the contents of Room 1 is subject to change, we can guarantee there will always be at least two Upright and One Baby Grand pianos.
Room 1 has access to a enclosed back patio via two large doors, particularly pleasant during sunny days. Room 1 is used by many established concert pianists as a low key and private site where they have the choice of practising on a variety of excellent vintage pianos.
Room 2 is designed predominantly for those wishing to practise on our premium Digital pianos or Clavinovas. Room 2 does sometimes include an Upright Piano, although we cannot guarantee this due to availability.

Tuning Temperaments
How many piano tuning temperaments are there?
There are countless variations, but most fall within three major categories;
1. Meantone, which generally concentrated the dissonance into a few unusable intervals (often called "wolf" intervals), so that the others could be Just. These are often called "restrictive" tunings, since there are certain intervals that are not usable. Good intervals are really good, bad ones are really bad. The Meantone era was approx. 1400-1700
2. Well-Temperament, which gives more consonance to the most often used keys, and more dissonance to the lesser used ones. Though not equal, these tunings are "non-restrictive" because all intervals can be used. The intervals range from Just to barely acceptable. Well-temperament refers to a genre, not a specific tuning. The Well-Tempered era is approx. 1700-1880.
3. Equal Temperament, which spreads the dissonance equally among all intervals.
There is no difference in consonance or dissonance between any keys, thus, there are no good ones or bad ones. Equal temperament represents a complete average. Dates of its acceptance are debated, but there is ample evidence that it was widely available by 1900 and is the predominate tuning on keyboards, today.
