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.

Steinweg, Lanstein and more!

Restringing on the 1905 Grotrian Steinweg is now completed, and the piano is back together and fully regulated. It is now in the shop and available to view and play, although further tuning is required before it will sound at its best, as the new strings are still stretching and bedding in.

Also now in the shop and ready to be played is the Lanstein Baby Grand. This piano has a surprising tone and touch for its size, and at only £1995 is fantastic value for a grand piano.

Work has commenced on both the Hopkinson upright and one of the ebony Bechstein uprights. The Hopkinson hammers have already been removed from the action and are currently in Germany being re-covered with new felt. Having been cleaned up, the ivory keys are in superb condition, and the casework should also look as good as new once repolished. This piano should be available to play soon after Chrismas.

We also have a small modern Rogers upright arriving in stock soon. Details will be available on the website.
