Buying a piano is a big investment – financially, and also both in terms of the space it will occupy in your home and the commitment you are making to the well-being of the instrument. Whether you are buying it for yourself or for your children to play, which piano is best for you will be a very personal decision.
With over 13 years of working as a piano technician, Joseph Taylor is ideally placed to make an objective assessment of an individual's needs and advise on the best piano for you, whether you are buying a new or restored instrument.
Our stock of pianos is always changing, but amongst the makes of piano that we regularly carry, you will find Steinway, Bechstein, Bluthner, Yamaha and Perzina.

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.
