Welcome to the Bedhampton Pianoshop Blog!


We have been restoring and selling pianos since 1988. We specialise in restoring and reconditioning old pianos, both upright and grand. Our work ranges from minor servicing right through to complete overhauls and rebuilding projects which take many weeks to complete.

The aim of the blog is to post regular progress reports on ongoing restoration work, as well as updates on the current available stock and any new arrivals. Where possible these updates will be accompanied by photos to demonstrate the work that we do.

Weekly Update - Week Commencing 25th August

This week's update sees the completion of both the Broadwood grand restoration and the repolishing of the water damaged Lambert upright.

The owners of the Lambert have already been to view the piano, and were unable to recognise it in the shop, such is the transformation! In fact, two members of the family have since returned a second time to have another look! The Broadwood grand had some finishing touches this morning, and the customers will be visiting the shop later today for a final viewing. If they are satisfied with the end result, both pianos will be ready for delivery, and this will also allow us the capacity to begin repolishing the Chappell upright which has already been reserved by another customer.

With at least three pianos leaving the shop soon, we have been able to purchase new stock to replace them. So far, we have three pianos which are all expected to arrive on Tuesday 9th September. They are a Grotrian Steinweg upright dating from around 1926, a Bechstein upright from about 1898 finished in black, and a Steinway and Sons grand in Rosewood (pictured at the auction house). All three are from highly regarded makers. More information and photos will be available once the pianos arrive at our workshop.

The summer sale has now officially ended. However, it may be a few days before the prices are updated back to their full amounts, so this really is the very last chance to get a bit of a discount!
