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.

'Thank you so much Graham, not forgetting David too, for persuading me to have my superb 1935 Hopkinson piano. I really thought a new modern piano was what I should have but am so pleased with the amazing restoration job you and the rest of the team worked so hard to achieve. It looks like new, fits into my room perfectly, plays beautifully and is much admired. Thank you for including us in watching its progress and the valued friendly and helpful service.

Another happy customer

Hello Graham,
Just wanted to write and thank you for a first rate service. As you know my piano which I have owned from new, since early 1970's, was in a serious state having been left in a farmhouse for sometime and been attacked by mice and moth inside and out.
It was so bad, I was seriously considering taking it to the dump and actually took it outside for a day to do just that. However sentimental reasons held me back as I did not want to part with it.
I cannot beleive that my beloved piano now looks in such excellant condition.
You managed to take care of all the problems and I am now proud to have it back in my home. It is a joy to look at, all woodwork gleaming and all chewed keys etc renewed and of course it now plays well.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone- I considered the 'state' of my piano to be the ultimate challenge!!
Also first rate service to your collection and delivery service team, who were reliable, on time and no fuss.
If anyone is in doubt about having work done please show them before and after pictures of my Kemble enough said........
Thankyou very much, from a very satisfied customer, Josie Saiers. WELLOW

An attempt at a short video to demonstrate the work involved in restringing a piano. This is just one of the many time consuming jobs involved in the restoration of this Bluthner upright.
