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.

John Broadwood art case grand piano


John Broadwood art case grand piano, which we have spent between 200 and 250 hours rebuilding is now complete the piano was made around 1910. The piano is a 5'8" grand piano with dual gate legs made from, Rosewood and Rosewood veneer the casework is a inlaid with satinwood banding and various marquetry inserts on the legs. There has been extensive restoration work on all the piano working parts example new hammers, dampers, strings, key bushings, rollers, even down to having the metal frame bolts re-coated in nickel silver. Pictures of this piano in the form of a slideshow will be on our website http://www.bedhamptonpianoshop.co.uk/piano/5453270147076921265/JOHNBROADWOODGrandPianoArtsCrafts58/

Over the next few weeks we are hoping to have a video show where any potential customers can see a video of the piano being played and listen to its exceptional time. In our opinion we think this piano is as good as a Bluthner grand piano, but don't take our word for it. Come and try it for yourself. If you need more information or advice on this or any other piano please e-mail us at, sales@bpspianos.com or phone us on (023) 9248 4802 Graham Nicholls. director Bedhampton pianoshop

babera&Robin.West sussex.Bluthner baby grand piano

Dear Graham and Team

Just wanted to thank you all so very much for the care and hard work you put in to bring this wonderful baby grand back to its original splendour. It is my most treasured possession and takes pride of place at one end of the lounge in our lovely old Barn. The tones of this piano are beautiful right from one end of the lovely, ivory keyboard to the other. It is such a pleasure to play this beautiful instrument which transforms everything I play into something exceptional.

From the first moment we stepped into your shop, I just knew we were dealing with the right kind of people. From the moment I set eyes on the Bluthner, even in its unfinished state, I just knew we were meant to be together. Fortunately for me, before that moment, I had found the man I was meant to be together with and he was willing to stump up the money for my beautiful baby grand. What a marriage made in heaven!

It's lovely to know the Bluthner was in such caring, capable, loving hands before it reached me and it continues to enjoy just as much appreciation now that it's in our home.

Thank you everyone for all that you have done to make this piano the magnificent instrument it certainly is.

Kind regards
Barbara and Robin Mincik
