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.

Caroline & Richard PETERSFIELD
Dear Graham,
Thank you for the lovely John Broadwood grand piano which you restored and sold us last year. We really appreciated the time you gave us to try all the pianos in your shop and were impressed by your knowledge and enthusiasm, as well as that of your assistant, who also did some excellent playing for us. You answered all our questions, were most helpful about our central heating and humidity issues and did not press us into making a rash decision We enjoyed watching the slow and careful restoration process with photographs of the progress and made a couple of visits to see the work you were doing. We are delighted with the end result, which sounds terrific and is played virtually every day by our pianist daughter who has made enthusiastic progress since it arrived and by the rest of the family and countless visitors. It is also stunningly beautiful, in the stain and finish we chose and is a magnet for attention in the room.
Thanks also for coming promptly last month to sort out the minor mechanical problem of 2 keys which had shifted slightly.
We are convinced you gave us excellent value for our money and a really good service; I have recommended your shop to a couple of friends and will not hesitate to do so again.
Best Regards,
Dr. Caroline Welch
