How many piano shops are listed?

Are these piano shops independent?

We list independent and owner-run businesses first. Where a listing belongs to a larger group, it is shown as such.

Should I buy a new or second-hand piano?

Both are reasonable starting points. A good second-hand upright from a reputable dealer can cost less than a new entry-level instrument and be a better piano for the money. A qualified technician can inspect a second-hand instrument before you commit. Ask the dealer about the service history; if buying privately, always request an inspection first. See our guide on what to look for when buying a second-hand piano.

What type of piano is best for a beginner?

Most beginners start on a digital piano with fully weighted keys, which is affordable, compact and needs no tuning. Once committed to learning, an acoustic upright is the natural step up and helps develop touch and tone that a digital cannot fully replicate. Most piano shops stock both and can advise on the right choice for your level, space and budget. For a full comparison, see our guide on digital piano vs acoustic piano.

How do I find a reputable piano dealer near me?

Look for an established independent dealer with a physical showroom who lets you play before you buy. Ask about the service history of any second-hand instrument and whether they allow a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician. Our piano shops directory lists independents first across the UK, each linking to their own website.
