Our Services
We are proud to be Lincolnshire’s longest established piano specialists, and are pleased to be able to offer a full range of piano services including sales, restoration, tuning and monthly hire – all from our showroom in Sleaford.
We have a large number of new and pre-owned uprights and grands to suit all abilities, tastes and budgets. Many are available in veneered finishes, as well as the ever-popular black or white lacquer.
As with all craft-based industries, and perhaps especially with the traditional skills and techniques used in piano restoration which have changed so little over the years, there is no substitute for experience.
We tune in homes, schools and concert halls, using the traditional method; by ear, without the use of electronics, using skills passed from craftsman to apprentice over a long training period.
We offer a selection of modern used uprights of various qualities to hire on a monthly basis, with prices starting from £40 per month. The minimum rental period is 3 months, with no maximum.
These guys are the Steinway of the piano world – very high quality, totally reliable and blessed with levels of patience that impress. ‘Don’t go anywhere else!’ is my advice.
While and Sentence have been brilliant. They expertly listened to what I wanted (I had very specific sound and action in mind) and found me the perfect 100 year old Grotrian Steinweg Grand Piano which I am in love with. They then stored it for months and delivered it to me at my reuquest and all at the right price! They were a pleasure to deal with.
My record producer friends can’t wait to come and record here.
Thanks for all your help W&S, from Sophie Daniels (Head of Songwriting at Institute of Contemporary Music Performance)
Fabulous service. I’ve been a customer for approximately 28 years. They have professionally moved my piano when I have moved houses, regularly tuned my piano and just recently, I have upgraded piano with their help. I now have a top quality piano at a very good price, part exchange on my piano. The guys brought my new piano, and swapped it for my old one. They worked so swiftly and professionally I was delighted at their speed. They always respect my property. I totally trust this father and son team and would absolutely recommend their services! Thanks guys for years of excellent service.
