Customer Review:
“Well done Graham for designing a superb service”
After some initial miscommunication, I had a first class Bentley piano delivered to the door by the most friendly company for my daughter’s birthday. She promptly burst into tears when she answered the door as I had told her I had bought her a large canvas painting for her bedroom wall. The service offered by Graham is so astoundingly easy to afford that he made my daughter’s dream come true a year early. She had asked for a piano for her ‘Sweet Sixteen’ a silly American idea…her thought was that she would give me a year to save as she knew pianos are not cheap. But thanks to UK Pianos, it was affordable right now at £38 per month its less than I waste when I nip in my corner shop.
And now I have been sent the name of a good book so I can learn on the sly and hopefully play a tune by Christmas. Well done Graham for designing a superb service,

Questions
“Can you recommend an upright or silent upright piano?”
We have just returned from abroad and are looking to rent a piano as soon as possible , that we then buy in a year.
My daughter is grade 4 and plays everyday , I think she will definitely go on with it and I play to a good level when I can !
I have just moved to a little, terraced house and was wondering about the quality of a Broadway . Is it an actual piano or a digital one? Or a mix ? Sorry I have googled it but I can’t really see anything definitive .
I think it’s really important it has the feel and weighting of a proper piano . But I don’t want to entirely alienate the neighbours.
It doesn’t have to be a silent piano I get but it would fit in with the colour scheme if it was white, but I’m not buying a piano just for its colour !!
Could you recommend ?
Many thanks for all your help ,
Amy
Reply/ Hi Amy
We do have an ex-display Broadway silent piano in white.
This is a real piano with an electronic silent system added to it.
So it feels and sounds exactly like a real piano with or without
the silent feature. The best of both worlds!
I have attached some photos.
The price is £3,995.
Rent to Buy is £95 per month.
Warranty is 5 years covering all parts and labour.
The Broadway BU-109T has a full, resonant, warm tone.
Its sound is crisp and clear.
The Broadway’s key touch is responsive. So it’s a good
piano for your daughter to learn and progress on, and suitable
for more advanced playing (up to grade 8).
Kind regards

“Any recommendation for an advanced pianist”
Hello there,
I am interested in renting a piano for 12 months. I live on a ground floor (mews house) in Earl’s Court SW5 0RR. I would like to spend as little as possible but I am an advanced pianist. Any recommendation?
Thanks a lot,
Sebastian
Reply/ Dear Sebastian
There are 2 pianos I would like to recommend for you:
Kemble
Price £2,495
Rental £60 per month
Ibach
Price £2,495
Rental £60 per month
Both these pianos have a responsive key touch
and a nice tone. Suitable for any level of playing.
If anything, I would go for the Ibach purely on
sound quality. This piano is taller, has longer
strings and a deeper, warmer tone.
Yours pianistically

Hello Graham,
My wife and I want to acquire a beginners piano to learn to play.
I have read your buyer’s guide which was really helpful.
Since it is our first piano we agreed that a rent/rent-to-buy is the best option for us, as a trial.
I wonder if you could help us decided on the following:
Digital or upright piano (we live in a flat in London with carpet floor)? And options for both.
Available ones in your store, using the brand rating from your book?
What extra parts would you recommend (adjustable stool, headphones, etc)?
Looking forward to hearing from you, Rui
Reply/ Hi Rui
If your flat is on the ground floor then I recommend
going for a real, upright piano.
It is always best to learn on a real piano as it gives
you a natural sound and key feel.
We have several available at the moment.
I recommend getting an adjustable height piano stool.
This adjusts so you can be at the correct height.
Let me know if you would like to reserve any of these.
Yours pianistically

Dear Sirs
We are looking to rent an upright piano. I am a beginner, and will probably end up buying the piano.
Please can you advise if you have any Yamaha pianos in stock to rent?
Thank you
Warm regards
Fahreen
Reply/ Hi Fahreen
We don’r rent Yamaha pianos.
Sorry for that.
However, we do have a range of second hand
upright pianos for rental.
If you prefer a brand new piano then we have
the Broadway BU-109 available on rent to buy.
This is similar in sound and feel to the Yamaha B2.
Let me know if you would like more information.
Yours pianistically

“Which upright piano do you recommend for my daughter?”
Hi Graham
I have been online looking at your website and I’m keen on the Rent to Buy scheme that you operate.
My daughter is 12 and has been learning piano for nearly 2 years. She is scheduled to sit her Grade 3
exam in Jan/Feb and currently has a low end digital piano which doesn’t really support dynamics.
As you know, this is an important part of piano playing and will effect her ability to progress more
and more as she moves on from Grade 3. My husband and I would love to get her an acoustic piano as I
believe this would be better for her to move forward with. We are self employed but surviving during
the situation we find ourselves in but we definitely couldn’t afford to buy one outright at this point in time.
I would hate for this to hold her back any, as she really is committed to her learning.
I noticed on your website it said you had more second hand pianos and to contact for more photos, prices
and a breakdown of the rent to buy, If possible. I’m also looking for what you would recommend for her as
I’m looking for something to see her through to Grade 8 at least; something with a bit of longevity and
that copes well with dynamics etc We are based in Scotland, please let me know if this poses a problem.
Kind Regards,
Donna
Reply/ Hi Donna
The range of acoustic pianos available on
Rent to Buy is up-to-date on this page.
For a good upright piano that’s suitable for
your daughter to learn and progress on up
to the higher levels, without needing to upgrade,
I recommend for you either the Kemble or
Broadway upright pianos.
The Kemble has a crisp tone and good key action.
It’s suitable for any level of playing.
It’s mahogany in colour.
The price is £2,499 and rental is £60 per month.
The Broadway has a warm tone and nice feel
to the keys. It also is suitable for any level of playing.
It’s in a polished black colour.
The price is £2,995 and rental is £75 per month.
We can deliver to Scotland.
Delivery is £149 to the ground floor.
Let me know if you would like to reserve
either of these pianos.
Yours pianistically
Graham Howard
