Piano Moves

We generally recommend tuning every six months for most domestic situations. Your piano and its environment may need individual advice.

Keep your piano away from radiators and other heat sources. Try to avoid fluctuating heat and humidity, which can affect tuning stability. Ask us about protection if you have underfloor heating.

We quote each delivery individually. Please contact us with the delivery address and any access details, including steps, stairs, narrow doorways or parking.

We don’t sell pianos online. Please get in touch to arrange a visit or discuss availability and delivery.

Monday and Tuesday visits are by appointment. We are open Wednesday to Saturday, 10am–5:30pm, and closed on Sundays. Please check our contact page for holiday opening hours.

Yes. We believe trying pianos in person is the best way to find the right one. Contact us to discuss what you would like to try and confirm availability before travelling.

We fit Kawai digital pianos into traditional piano cases. Contact us to discuss your case and its suitability before making plans.

Some hybrids combine an acoustic piano with a silent system; others have acoustic-style actions but entirely digital sound. Our guide explains the differences.

Try the key action, speakers, headphones and pedals. Features vary by model, so we recommend comparing the instruments rather than specifications alone.

An acoustic piano makes sound with hammers and strings; a digital piano uses electronic sound and offers headphone playing. We can help you compare touch, sound, space and the way you practise.

Under normal domestic conditions, your piano should be tuned twice a year.

You enjoy all the benefits of a modern Kawai digital piano within a beautiful piano case: play through headphones, connect your phone or tablet, experiment with different voices and piano sounds and plug in your laptop.

The control panel of the Kawai digital piano is neatly built into a sliding wooden drawer that tucks neatly away under the keyboard.

There are two crucial measurements we need so that we can install the Kawai digital piano inside:

• Keyboard width: at least 123cm, measured between the inside edges of the cheeks (the side pieces either end of the keyboard).
• Front rail depth: at least 8cm.

See “How to measure your piano” above, and get in touch with your measurements if you’re not sure.

Very often older pianos come to a point where they are no longer tuneable and it is not financially viable to recondition them. A digital conversion is an innovative way of giving these treasured older pianos a new lease of life, and a great way of recycling pianos.

A digital conversion gives an old piano a new lease of life: a modern Kawai digital piano is installed inside a traditional piano case. You can have your own old piano converted to digital, or choose from our wide selection of traditional piano cases.
