New:
We can retail most of the well known brands of today and can advise you as to what would be the best style, touch and sound. Acoustic pianos don’t suit all, so we can supply you with digital pianos and keyboards by a very well known brand!
We avoid the very cheap end of the market imports as they fail to have the longevity of a quality piano.
Previously Owned:
We do not sell anything older than 1970 unless it is a very special instrument. Most popular with us is the Yamaha brand and the models we sell most of are the U1 and U3, which are manufactured in Japan. We do also retail Kawai instruments as well as Welmar, Kemble and Knight. Previously owned pianos come in and go out all the time so apart from the regular stock of Yamaha and Kawai, there could be a whole host of other interesting instruments!!
If Yamaha is the brand for you, then please feel free to read our Yamaha Buying Guide

How big are upright pianos
Moden Upright pianos are usually between 110cm – 135cm in height, around 155cm wide and 60cm deep, the height being the major difference between models. You also have the old Mine piano at 70cm these are no longer made.
Upright pianos are popular because of their small footprint compared to a grand piano. While grand pianos may look more attractive, tall upright pianos are capable of producing a strong tone, wide dynamic range and better control in the keys and action than a small upright, Tall Uprights are usually only a few cms deeper and wider than shorter upright piano but will give you a much richer sound a good as most than a small Grands A small modern upright will have weight of 185kg a large one can exceed 235kg
