This beautiful Bechstein baby grand has come to me to be refinished. The origial
French polish has gone very cloudy and in places has been bleeched by the sun.
It is however a beautiful burr walnut and I can't wait to see it finished. All my work is done by hand, I do not use spray finishing.

This Arthur Allison upright piano is in super condition and looks great.
It's available for just £900 and within 20 miles that would also include delivery.

I have reconditioned and donated this piano as a public piano in my home town of Clevedon. It will be revealed in June but it will not look like this, apparently it's going to be pink. I look forward to the big reveal.

This week I was asked to tune a Yamaha C6 grand at the Bristol Beacon (Colston hall) for Elvis Costello. It's good to know that he's still performing. What a lovely venue.
