The Piano Shop Kent








3.56 star(s) from 9 votes


The Piano Shop Kent is just south of Tunbridge Wells on the A26 and has a fantastic selection of pianos at all levels, both upright and grand, new and restored. There are many restored Yamahas and a wide range of other great makes, such as Bechstein and Steinway, as well as digital pianos. We also have a workshop and offer restoration.

Having a good piano to play and practise on is vital to the enjoyment of making music and to progress as a musician. Some think that an old piano bought as a ‘beginner instrument’ that perhaps ‘needs tuning’ will be good enough for them or their child to learn on. But the reality is that a piano with an uneven touch, poor tone or perhaps even loose tuning pins, will discourage learning and limit enjoyment. Our used pianos have been thoroughly reconditioned and are guaranteed for 5 years. This gives you the confidence that they are of the highest quality and will support any pianist in achieving their potential.

The Piano Shop team are passionate about everything to do with the piano and between them have decades of experience. The founder, Nigel Scaife, studied at the Royal College of Music and is an examiner for ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and regular contributor to Pianist magazine. He understands what makes for a good instrument and brings his experience as a musician and teacher to the careful selection of pianos.

Stage and Digital Pianos?
A stage piano is an electronic keyboard designed for use in live onstage performances by professional musicians. They have many of the same features as a digital piano but very often do not have built-in speakers. The current Yamaha CP-300 breaks this rule and has built in speakers. This is not a common practice among manufacturers as stage pianos are usually built with mobility in mind. Speakers can add considerable, extra, unwanted weight to a stage piano. Stage pianos can often have different keyboard actions and are worth paying attention to, that is if you are considering a stage piano. In the case of the Kurzweil SP series, they produce a SP2 with semi-weighted keyboard action and a SP2X which has a fully weighted hammer action keyboard. Bear in mind that "fully weighted", as is the case here with the SP2X, does not mean the same a progressive hammer action (see later). While the sounds on stage pianos is often much wider than what you would find on an average digital piano, stage pianos have far fewer voices than a typical electronic synthesiser. Stage pianos usually have a smaller selection of voices as mentioned in a previous question.
