Quality Pre-Owned & Reconditioned Pianos in Harrogate

Have you ever dreamed of having a real acoustic piano in your home or venue, but felt put off by the cost of a brand-new instrument?

We believe everyone should have access to a beautiful sounding piano. That’s why we specialise in finding and restoring wonderful pre-owned pianos. Our collection features carefully selected secondhand instruments and fully reconditioned English vintage pianos. You’ll find remarkable names like Kemble, known for its warm, mellow tone, and durable Knight pianos, which were a favourite in schools for their rich sound and robust build.

Our expert, James, personally restores each one. He focuses on key details like the overstrung design, which allows for longer bass strings to create a deeper, more resonant sound. Every piano is also professionally regulated to ensure the touch is responsive and even across all the keys. The result is an instrument that plays beautifully, all at a fraction of the price of a new model.

These pianos are a fantastic choice for schools, churches, and families who want the quality of an acoustic instrument without the new-piano cost.
