Used & pre-owned
A well-chosen used or pre-owned piano can offer craftsmanship and value a new instrument rarely matches. But with older pianos, condition is everything — and it is easy to fall in love with a beautiful case hiding an expensive problem. We source, appraise and independently verify, so you commit with confidence.

Why used
Many of the finest pianos ever built are decades old. Golden-age instruments from the great European and American makers can be acquired for a fraction of their modern equivalents — and, properly restored, can outlast and outplay them. The key is knowing which instruments are worth the investment and which are not.
