Which Is The Right Upright Piano For Me?
We offer a wide range of Steinway uprights to choose from, all available for an affordable price. If you thought that a Steinway piano was outside of your budget, think again. We offer the highest quality used pianos in a wide range of styles, feature veneers and finishes including walnut, mahogany and satin finishes.
Choosing the right Steinway upright for your home or studio is all about your requirements and expectations. We can help you to find the perfect choice for your home, practice space or music venue. A Steinway piano is a true investment that will need to be cared for correctly to ensure it retains its distinct resonant voice. Regular tuning and repairs are recommended to help protect your investment and ensure generations of piano players are able to take advantage of the incredible instrument.
You will need to think about tuning the piano regularly and also ensuring that it is stored in an environment humid enough that it will not be damaged by drying out the internal mechanisms and the soundboard. A piano is best left in its settings once you have placed it in your home, so think carefully about where you would like to display it. We can advise on the best situation for your piano to help make the most of the acoustics in your home.
What Are Some Of The Unique Features Of A Steinway?
Perhaps the most well-known feature of the Steinway pianos collection is the accelerated action, which allows for the keys to repeat around 13% faster than rival manufacturers. Steinway pianos are also known for their distinct sound, resonance and powerful bass. A home upright can therefore sound just as impressive as some of the larger concert grands.
Steinway Hall in London is one of the most well-known places where you can go and hear these stunning instruments in action and see all of the unique features. Steinway showrooms offer a diverse selection of new pianos, but for a specific Steinway model or to find a used piano for a fraction of the cost of a new one, we recommend our Belbroughton showroom in the heart of Worcestershire. You'll have the opportunity to hear the distinct sound and learn more about why Steinway pianos are so enduringly popular.
