This instrument is regarded as the definitive Yamaha console.  The touch and tone of the instrument is virtually unsurpassed.  This piano is made in the Yamaha factory in Hamamatsu, Japan circa 1987 according to the serial number: 4384094, and should not be confused with the English made Yamaha M108N.  The frame is stamped “MADE IN JAPAN” and as such the materials used in terms of the soundboard and action are that of the U series range. This piano has been looked after carefully during its life by its one and only elderly owner who owned the piano since new.  It stands at 108cm as the model number suggests and features Yamaha's bell like tone and a forgiving touch to suit all pianists. The M108 is the perfect home piano both in terms of the sleek lines and gloss black finish (which is virtually unmarked), and the obvious quality of the instrument.

This Yamaha U3M was built in Hamamatsu Japan in 1982.  The ‘M’ model is well known amongst enthusiasts as having a superior tone to later U3 models without being harsh or bright and yet still retains that Yamaha bell like tone.  These pianos retail around £13000 and this one has undergone restoration at the Yamaha factory with new loop cords, new tapes and new celeste rail felt. This piano is the perfect instrument for those pianists in earnest of taking their piano skills up a level. The Yamaha U3 is the flagship model of the Yamaha upright range, the tallest of the series at 131cm in height, providing even greater expressiveness in terms of tone and especially in the bass. We think this is the cheapest U3M out there at the moment and will match any other retailer’s price if that is found to be untrue.

Bentley started manufacture in London 1906.  In 1911 it moved its production to Woodchester in Stroud and by 1930 they were a major producer. This is one of the later Bentleys to come off the production line before their final liquidation in 2003.  The serial #158438 dates this compact piano to 1993. It has a third party Langer 75 action, a company well known for its high quality actions which grace much more expensive pianos than this one, but Bentley started installing them towards the end of their tenure to try to compete with the Chinese market which was decimating the English piano trade at the time. For this reason the piano plays beautifully and really has the most unusually wonderful vibrant tone.  There are absolutely loads of Bentleys out there as they were a prolific English manufacture. Some of the older ones may be questionable...but not this one. The case is faultless and the piano as a whole is in fantastic condition. Must be played.

This is one of Britain's most recognised manufacturers of fine, high-quality pianos, The Knight K10 is from the 'K' range and is the most famous of Knight's pianos. It is considered to be one of the “best" upright pianos ever produced in the UK.

The frame of the Knight K10 has twice the strength of frames fitted to the average piano. This extra strength also allowed Knight to remove the brace bar in the treble section, which eliminates the "bad notes", that normally occur on each side of the brace. Couple this with the fact that this instrument has a Renner action, the finest piano action money can buy, and the result is a piano that is truly high end.
