Piano advice and help on buying pianos.

The oldest trick of the trade is to suggest a tired or used budget piano that was acquired for next to nothing in a part-exchange, as ideal for grade 2 or 3. It is as simple as this: a piano either works properly - consistently and reliably, at concert pitch, or it doesn't. Even to complete grade 1, the piano must work properly.

We offer a unique service to ensure your new or nearly-new piano is set-up to your preference and for peak performance.
