Record Sales for September

The last few weeks have seen a noticeable increase in customers through the door, and September is proving to be a very busy month. Since the last blog, we have sold both our John Broadwood uprights, the attractive Paul Werner upright and our Steinway grand. With a deposit also placed on our 1930's Hopkinson upright, we are working flat out to prepare pianos both for customers and for our shop.

On the restoration front, the 1897 Bechstein upright (pictured) has reached the end of the long rebuilding process and is now ready to be viewed and played. All the remains to be done are a couple more tunings as the new strings settle in. The hard work is proving worthwhile, as this is comfortably the nicest Bechstein upright that we have sold to date. Also on display in the shop is our one remaining Grotrian Steinweg (below). This too has had a comprehensive restoration, and the previously black casework looks superb in it's natural satin finish.

There are plenty more pianos in the pipeline, including uprights from Chappell, Challen, Rogers, John Brinsmead and Zender. For those customers seeking the highest quality pianos, we also have a second Bechstein, a Bluthner and a Kaps upright all currently awaiting some degree of restoration. All of these pianos are in various states of repair, so please call before visiting to avoid a wasted trip.

As always, get in touch if you have any queries or requests. Visit our website at http://www.bedhamptonpianoshop.co.uk/ to see details of the restoration work that we do, and to view all of our current stock.
