Eavestaff.
Made in England c1965. This is one of the last of the so called Mini pianos from Eavestaff, Some of the early models were revolutionary in their design although widely slated for their poor musical qualities and lack of foresight for future maintenance. However, they persevered and after several incarnations they eventually came up with this model. Although not particularly "Mini" they are still quite small but sound and play like much bigger pianos. Action parts are much more conventional so spares are easy to obtain and access for future repairs is a lot simpler. Great styling too. Available to buy or rent. |

Danemann.
Originally built for use in schools these were fabulous instruments when they were new. Built between 1930s -1980s and designed to be easily moved about on big wheels, be heard across a packed classroom and survive years of knocks and scrapes. They are mostly pale colour nearly always solid Oak and built to a very high standard to withstand years of hard work. Most of the examples still around have by now been subjected to years of hard work and hard school life. Pushed around from class to class or left in practice rooms to be abused by bored and reluctant students, covered in graffiti, vandalised, or with ancient discarded half-eaten lunches wedged inside the actions or covered in staples and drawing pins where notices have been crudely posted on. etc. etc. Pianos with this type of history are exhausted and beyond economical repair. Regrettably the only sensible outcome is they have to be scrapped.
However, occasionally they turn up like this one....Made in 1972 and must have been in a very good school. Still looking bright and clean with all its keys and casework intact. The action is showing some minor wear but it has obviously been respected and cherished. Sounds fantastic and would still be good for many years in a school, public hall or church etc but equally could be at home in a domestic setting. |

Hupfeld.
Made in Germany c1980. Available soon once we have given it a thorough service, clean and a tune. We sold these pianos in great quantities during the 70s and 80s as they were excellent value for money. I still come across many of these on my tuning rounds and they are mostly still working well. The casework is looking a little tired at the moment but my polisher will be performing his magic on it in a few days. Available to buy or sell by mid February. |

Kawai.
Made in Japan c1995. Model BS-2N in Black.
A very good instrument subtly different to the ubiquitous Yamahas but very difficult to say which is better. Kawai are usually slightly cheaper secondhand as they are less of a household name in this country but they are just as good to play, hear, tune and maintain. |
£3950 |

Kawai.
Model BS-40 c1989. These were top of the range instruments in their day. Big and powerful giving as much dynamic range as a small grand but it also has warmth, subtlety and finesse when required. Fun and rewarding to play. |

Yamaha .
Made in Hamamatsu Japan c1994. Another fabulous Yamaha from Japan. Unlike our usual range of secondhand Yamahas, this one was sold by us about 5 years ago as a totally immaculate secondhand instrument fresh from Japan. It has been serviced and tuned by us regularly but sadly not played much as owners couldn't make the commitment to lessons and practice a good piano like this deserves. So its back in the showroom, with the addition of a couple of very minor scuffs in the black gloss polish, looking for a new home and about £500 less than we would normally be able to sell one of these for. |

Model U3A Made in Hamamatsu Japan c1985. Big and powerful, the Yamaha U range has been setting the standard for quality, durability and stability for many years. The new U3 starts from about £10300.00 and is fantastic but when you don't have that sort of budget you can still find superb examples secondhand like this restored example for less than half new price. We have 2 very similar U3A models in stock, Identical in every way except made just 1 year apart. |
