School Pianos & Educational Supplies

School piano
Pianos for Schools, Colleges, Universities & Private Education may be available with additional trade discounts and special terms.
We supply pianos to many of the country's top music schools and concert halls due to our reputation for excellent service and special prices. We can also offer institutional discount rates to private music tutors and their pupils.
Our vast experience in supplying and maintaining school pianos in colleges, universities and music institutions has given us a wealth of knowledge to advise on the ideal instruments to satisfy demanding students, fixed budgets and the very important factors of reliability and durability in a school piano.
Yamaha Pianos, Brodmann Pianos and our exclusive Venables & Son pianos are excellent instruments for schools. Solid quality, reliable and high performance - at low prices.
Our School Prices are lower than those published online. Please call or email with your requirements and we will provide a tailored quotation with substantial savings. Educational supply is our business.
Our top upright pianos for schools
Yamaha B1. 109cm upright. Compact size, low price and reliable. Ideal for small practise rooms. Due to low height, tone in lower registers is shallow but, otherwise, the B1 has a clean, melodic voice.
Yamaha U1 Professional. 121cm upright. A favorite in the educational market for over 30 years, also consider the equivalent spec. P121 (lower price).
Venables & Son Studio-120. 120cm upright. Warm, focused character, lyrical tenor and rounded bass. Features top-grade Helmut Abel hammers (Walnut mouldings & AA-Wurzen naturally-bonded felt). A very responsive and precisely engineered action using traditionl materials (free from plastic parts). Strict use of only the finest British Hainsworth Cloth and Felt within keyboard and action assures longevity.
Venables & Son Custom-125. 125cm upright. Spec. as per Studio series, with refinements in design to enhance clarity and sustain, whilst maintaining warmth and focus. As selected by Benenden School, Winchester College & Sherborne School. Truly a professional's instrument.
Venables & Son Custom-133. 133cm upright. A high standard piano with everything covered to ensure the ultimate performance from an upright. A full tone in the lower registers, very clear and bell-like treble with a dark and lyrical character throughout. Solid feel with plenty of leverage for optimum control. Selected by International Concert Pianist, Reiko Fujisawa.
Our top grand pianos for schools
Yamaha GB1-K. 4'11" baby grand. Yamaha quality at a sensible price. As with most baby grand piano, the tone is shallow in the lower registers and is ideally suited to smaller classrooms, as it will struggle to compete with many voices/instruments in a large acoustic space.
Yamaha GC1-M. 5'3" baby grand. Longer keys than the GB1 provides the typical Yamaha grand touch weight & leverage, where the GB1 feels lighter and less responsive. A wider range of tone throughout, with more depth, projection and colour. More competent in accompaniment and classroom environments, and ideal for practise.
Yamaha C3-x. 6'1" grand. Where did all this tone come from! Full bass, rich tenor and clean projective treble. Recognised as the industry-standard grand, this is a professional instrument with a suited to a wide range of applications. A very competent instrument.
Brodmann PE187. 6'2" grand. Clear, complex and colourful. Inspiring sounds with layers of tone within each note. Powerful, yet lyrical tenor and melodic, bell-like treble. Highly recommended. Selected by Malvern College and Winchester Cathedral.
Brodmann PE212. 6'11" grand. Clear, complex and colourful. Brodmann grands have excellent dynamic range and depth, and this 212cm semi-concert grand is just the example! Lingering bass notes, rich tenor and melodic, bell-like treble. Very responsive action. Selected by Winchester Cathedral, Bournemouth University recital hall, resident pianist of the London Symphony Orchestra: John Alley.
Venables & Son Studio-152. 5' baby grand. Our wide-tail design increases soundboard area in the bass, with more efficient bass bridge placement. The tonal character is dark and focused. Bass notes are rounded, tenor is lyrical and the treble 'sings' with a delicate quality. Selected by Winchester College, Regis School of Music and Suffolk House School.
