Piano finding across Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire, London

I offer a dedicated piano finding service across Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and London, with extensive experience sourcing exceptional instruments for clients throughout the UK and abroad. Over the years, I have successfully supplied pianos for a wide range of settings, from prestigious hotels and commercial venues to private homes. My work has also included overseas projects, with pianos sourced for clients in France and Norway. Wherever you are located, my aim is to make the process of finding the right piano straightforward, efficient and genuinely enjoyable.

​

Searching for a piano can be a daunting and time-consuming experience. With so many makes, models, sizes and conditions available, it is often difficult to know where to start or how to judge whether an instrument represents good value. Many pianos can appear attractive on the surface while concealing significant mechanical or structural issues that only become apparent after purchase. By using my piano finding service, you benefit from professional guidance at every stage. I take care of the research, inspections and negotiations on your behalf, saving you considerable time, effort and uncertainty.

​

My priority is always to find the perfect piano to suit your individual needs. This means carefully considering how and where the piano will be used, the acoustic characteristics of your property, your level of playing ability and your long-term goals. Whether you are a complete beginner purchasing your first piano, an advanced player seeking a responsive and refined instrument, or a business looking for a statement piano for a hotel, venue or studio, I tailor the search accordingly. Budget is always treated with respect, and I work hard to find the best possible instrument within your agreed price range.

​

Through an extensive and trusted network of contacts, I am able to source pianos in a wide variety of styles and specifications. This includes both modern and classic instruments, as well as distinctive statement pieces such as crystal pianos and visually striking contemporary designs. I can also help locate bespoke, rare or unusual models for clients seeking something truly individual. I work closely with reputable piano dealers, restorers and private sellers, ensuring that any instrument I recommend meets high standards of quality, reliability and musical performance.

​

A key part of my service is the careful inspection and assessment of each potential piano. Drawing on my background as a trained piano technician, I evaluate the mechanical condition, tonal character, touch, structural integrity and overall longevity of the instrument. This professional insight helps to avoid costly mistakes and ensures that the piano you choose will provide years of reliable service and musical enjoyment. Where appropriate, I can also advise on future maintenance, regulation or light restoration work, so you have a clear understanding of the piano’s ongoing care requirements.

​

I am able to source pianos across most sensible budgets and will always provide honest, impartial advice on the options available. If you have a particular style, size, colour, finish or even a preferred maker in mind, I will do my utmost to find a suitable instrument within realistic and reasonable expectations. While not every request can be fulfilled exactly, I pride myself on offering creative alternatives and clear explanations, allowing you to make informed decisions with confidence.

​

The piano finding service operates with a clear and transparent fee structure. An upfront finding fee covers the initial consultation, research and sourcing process. Once you have selected your piano, a deposit is taken to secure the instrument, providing clarity and commitment for all parties involved. This straightforward approach ensures there are no hidden surprises and that the process remains smooth from start to finish.

​

For clients based in Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and London, I am able to offer hands-on support throughout the entire process, including viewings, assessments and coordination of delivery where required. For UK-wide and international clients, the service is equally thorough, with clear communication and professional oversight at every stage.

​

If you are looking for a trusted piano finding specialist who can take the stress out of buying a piano and help you secure an instrument that truly fits your needs, I would be delighted to assist. My goal is not simply to find any piano, but to find the right piano—one that complements your space, supports your musical ambitions and brings lasting satisfaction for years to come.
