Our three year buy back plan is designed to help get you or your children started playing the piano. We all know how risky taking up a new hobby is especially when children are involved, I often hear - "I don't know how long they are going to keep it going."
The best solution to foster a child, (or adults) interest in learning the piano, is to first of all buy a piano that plays very well. There is nothing worse than trying to do something on anything that doesn't work properly, and in the case of a piano, sound properly. If you were to buy an old piano off of ebay odds are it is well down on pitch, and will have many notes that will not respond the way they should. Most ebay piano I come across are usually only good for one thing - bon fire night. Buying a cheap electronic keyboard is also nothing like playing on a piano. The result with both of these types of purchases will be that you send a child of to lessons where the teacher has a good piano (I hope), and they will be confused as the teachers piano feels different, responds differently, and is at a different pitch level to the one you have at home. The child will fumble through the lesson making secret vows to themself to take up a sport instead, and you will have wasted a fair bit of money.

Our beginners pianos are all at A440 concert pitch, respond to a grade 5 playing standard, and are guaranteed for three years against any technical problems. These are ideal pianos to get started on. If you then decide within the first three years that you love the piano so much you want to upgrade to a better model, we will give you what you paid for your beginner piano (less transport costs) as a trade in value on your upgraded piano.
All we ask is that you have the piano tuned twice per year, this will also maintain the 3 year warranty. (All pianos should be tuned a minimum of twice per year.)


We offer a guarantee on all of the pianos we sell. The length of this warranty will vary depending on the piano, but the minimum will be three years. Please see the advertised pianos descriptions to see how long our guarantee is for that particular piano.

Our guarantee covers any technical fault you may  encounter with the piano. What isn't covered by the guarantee is any fault due to misuse,  problems encountered due to not having the piano services regularly, and any problems caused by excess heat, cold or moisture.
