As well as being the only owner, buying a new grand piano over a second-hand grand piano gives you a longer guarantee and reduces the chance of requiring restoration work to be done within one's lifetime. Pianos, particularly new grand pianos, hold their value extremely well and continually prove to be an excellent investment.
Choosing to purchase a new upright piano would be the ideal choice if space is restricted and you want a quality instrument guaranteed to last for years to come. New upright pianos are no different from new grand pianos in their ability to retain value and proving to be a good investment.
When buying a quality new upright piano you can be confident that you should not need to change it during your lifetime unless you upgrade to a grand piano or choose to go for an even higher quality upright piano.Likewise with our second-hand grand pianos, we also stock fully restored, quality upright pianos revitalsed to a better than new standard from brands such as Bechstein, Steinway, Bluthner and many more.

I bought my Bosendorfer 170 from Handel's after visiting and trying pianos in several different stores in the south. The process of buying the piano was relaxed and I felt reassured that I was dealing with a trustworthy company. The piano was french polished before it was sent, and I was able to see the work to check I was happy. The work done on the case was first class and it looked brilliant. Delivery went smoothly, overall I'm delighted with my purchase.

I purchased a piano from here a few months ago. Service is excellent. They take their time to answer questions and make helpful recommendations. My piano came a little tight out the factory and they sent over a piano technician to work their magic and now it performs excellently. Very good and highly recommended.

I recently bought a piano from Handel Pianos and I can not recommend them enough. They are so knowledgeable and really help you to find the right instrument for you. They are such a friendly bunch and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I have recommended them to so many people. I wouldn’t buy a piano from anywhere else.

I can’t speak highly enough of the excellent attention I’ve had from Handel’s pianos. Tom has been wonderfully helpful, given that I live 300 miles away, and nothing has been too much trouble. Communication has been through email, phone and video. At no time did I feel pressured to buy. And now my beautiful piano has arrived and I’m delighted! All credit to all the whole team at Handel’s as it’s obvious that this piano has been very well restored and taken care of, nothing has been skimped. Also delivery was perfect, again excellent service from knowledgeable and friendly people. I

The best customer service I have ever received. Tom's behavior was so professional as well as friendly, answering all my questions Patiently. I sent lots of messages via whats up asking every sort of queries, from requesting for spare Headphone, piano key to arranging for a special delivery time and received a quick reply to all of them. You can buy your piano from their store confidently:)))

Tom at Handel was a pleasure to deal with. Very knowledgeable and helpful seeing as I came in there not really knowing anything! Not once did I feel pressured to make a purchase I wasn’t happy with and came away very pleased. Tom took the time on both my visits to personally take me to the other property to see their full range and gave me real piece of mind when choosing.
Delivery was prompt and I was especially impressed with the condition they delivered the piano in compared to when I viewed it- all in all highly recommended!

Just bought a baby grand from Handel Piano. I travelled from Central London to Sunnningdale to see/test their pianos. They have great choices in their shop. Can't thank everyone enough for helping me with my purchase. Handel Piano provide very friendly and professional services and I would definitely recommend this piano shop to everyone

Excellent service - couldn't have asked for better. They went out of their way to make sure we ended up with the piano that suited our needs and made sure we were happy with our purchase. Delivery was super speedy and all staff were helpful and friendly. Love the piano - looks and sounds great and my daughters are delighted with it. Thank you very much.

From my initial contact with Stephen to the delivery of the piano by Jon and Steve, the delightful delivery guys, the whole experience was most pleasurable. As one of the previous reviewers noted, this sort of service is hard to find these days. Exceptionally polite, professional and patient with a first time buyer. Handel Pianos has my respect and commendation at any level of purchase. You can be proud of the level of excellence you achieved. Thank you so much.
