	Bechstein Upright - A black ebonised cased, overstrung, iron framed Bechstein dating from the 1920's. Perfectly useable as it is, but could benefit from as much restoration as you would like. The piano at the moment has a very mellow tone.

	Pearl River Upright - A secondhand piano in superb condition of Chinese origin. More often seen under the names of Steinbach and Waldstein, this piano was built when the company were making pianos for Yamaha and so shares some design similarities with this most famous brand.
Bechstein Upright - A beautiful piano in a stunning burr walnut casework currently undergoing major restoration work.
	Yamaha Upright U1 - A secondhand U1 model.. This is a 1970's example in a black polyerster casework. Always popular pianos with piano students giving a superior tone and touch than many new pianos costing the same amount. The U1 model stands at 121cms high.
Yamaha U2 - A nice example of a U2. Not as popular as the other large Yamaha models standing at 125cms high although this is probably due to the U2's rarity rather than anything else. A good size to get some serious tone from the piano, nice dynamics and fulsome bass complete the picture on a good value package.
	Richter/Toyo Upright - This piano is a new upright in a black bright case. Made in the Chinese production facility of the well respected Japanese Toyo brand, this piano represents fantastic value for a piano of this size/quality. A European touch and tone complete the package.
Atlas Upright - A Japanese, secondhand, nice quality piano in a rarer Rosewood high gloss finish. This piano is in superb condition and is a very large instrument standing 131 cms high. Similar in size to the Yamaha U3 it produces a big, bright sound due to the larger string length (longer than most baby grands!) Much cheaper than the Yamahas too...
	Kawai K-15E Upright - A lovely little piano with a large mellow sound and the build quality that goes with this world respected piano company. Not as well known as other Japanese manufacturers, Kawai make superb quality pianos at prices that are extremely reasonable. This is the baby of their upright range.

Yamaha Upright U3 - A secondhand U3 model. This is the preferred choice of many professionals and teachers. Always a popular choice, and being secondhand it has a massive saving on the new price! (The RRP of a Yamaha U3 is now over £8,000 !!) This piano has been restored internally and externally and is in 'as new' condition throughout, a really good example.
	Kawai K-2 Upright - This is a really good little piano. Superb responsiveness comes from the new Millennium 3 action which has just the right combination of weight, speed and feel.. The sound from its diminutive proportions are really excellent especially in the crucial middle area. Come and have a try and see why we make such a fuss over these pianos. We also have in stock a special edition satin walnut version of this piano.

Bentley/ Steinbach Upright - This is the latest generation of instrument from the very popular range of Chinese pianos manufactured by 'Pearl River'. It is in a traditional casework but is also available in a modern style
	Perzina 129cm - The top of the Perzina upright range. Thanks to its inverse crown and the floating soundboard this piano has a bass that has to be heard to be believed. Easily surpassing the depth of a baby grand piano and larger grands as well, it has the response, touch and tone that merits the title of 'upright grand'.
Kawai GM10 grand - Kawai say; 'Measuring 150cm in length, the GM-10 offers the same attention to detail and quality found in Kawai's larger pianos... in a petite size to fit any room. With it's resonant tone and classic good looks, the GM-10 will be an impressive addition to any home.' We can't argue with that!

Everything has been done to this piano including restringing, full action rebuilding and French polishing the high quality mahogany veneered casework. The result is a gorgeous, responsive, mellow toned piano of impeccable quality built in the 'golden age' of piano manufacture. The equivalent new piano today costs over £20,000....
Kawai K-3 Upright - This is bigger version of the above piano standing at 121 cms. It has a tone to rival a small grand and the millenium 3 action. Superb!
	Kawai K-5 Upright - Getting quite serious now! This piano has lots of power, a superb controllable touch and a beautiful mellow tone that would keep even the most discerning pianists happy for many a year.
Kawai K-6 Upright - The flagship of the Kawai upright range, one that would give many a grand piano a good run...and win!. Millenium 111 action, soft fall mechanism, Neotex key coverings, mahogany hammer mouldings, agraffes throughout and tone release ports all add up to a superb upright.
	Steinway model 'O' Grand - A 5' 10'' boudoir grand piano dating from 1927. This example is in an oak casework and is in very good order throughout. A very nice piano which has been lovingly cared for by its former owner. I have myself been tuning this piano for over 10 years so can vouch for (some) of its history. Come and have a go to see why Steinway pianos are considered the best pianos in the world.
Steinway model 'A' Grand - A chance to purchase a beautiful Steinway model 'A' 6ft 2in Boudoir grand piano. Built in 1898 it has undergone an extensive restoration which has included the replacement of its soundboard and tuning plank. The piano has been restored sympathetically to its age and it has had a traditional hand applied French Polish finish which has made the most of its fine quality Rosewood casework. Some of the original action components have been saved including its original ivories which are in superb condition.
