We offer two distinct options to enable people to purchase a restored piano at greatly differing prices without having to compromise on quality.

All our pianos are restored internally to the same high level, however, the option is given as to whether the customer requires the case to be refinished. Refinishing can be undertaken at a later date and a quote will be offered, thus enabling us to initially offer overstrung pianos that effectively play like new instruments, at under £1000.

We do, of course, offer pianos restored both internally and externally. These pianos will range from approximately £1000 - £1600.If we do not have in stock the particular make/style/colour of the piano of your choice, please contact us as we make a point of sourcing un-restored pianos specific to individual customers, enabling us to offer a bespoke service.

In addition, we also offer a full restoration service for customers’ own instruments and piano tuning. All pianos currently in stock are shown on our piano page.

Buying a supposedly restored/reconditioned piano can be a hazardous affair and maybe compared to buying a used car, a quick polish up replace one or two very obvious items and you can be forgiven for thinking the piano is all that it appears to be.

The problem with pianos is that many can be quite easily made to play well enough to dupe the novice pianist; it's only when they become more experienced/or the piano begins to malfunction that they realise their mistake.

At 'The Full Octave' our policy is to replace all essential high wear items such as spring and leather work but in addition also to replace all other parts necessary to ensure that the instrument will play in a virtually as new state.

Hammer heads are recovered/replaced and instruments restrung where the piano is of suitably high quality to justify the increased asking price
