Welcome To Richard
Lawson Pianos

Whether you’re a seasoned concert performer, an enthusiastic home player or just starting out on your piano playing journey, the team here at Richard Lawson Pianos are here to help. Backed by over 40 years of piano passion and expertise, we have an enviable range of new and expertly refurbished pianos for sale by world-renowned piano manufacturers such as Yamaha, Kawai, Shigeru Kawai and Petrof.

Is there any sound more enchanting than the evocative playing of a piano’s keys? Few instruments have such an impressive, dynamic range – able to be both delicate and yet so intensely powerful. It makes sense then that, with an instrument capable of so much, finding the right one for you and your unique playing style and needs is essential. And it makes even more sense to shop with the experts.

Our piano collection extends from popular Yamaha U1 and U3 upright pianos, all the way up to handcrafted grand pianos, such as the Steinway Grand and Yamaha’s CF Concert Grand. We are also proud to supply various Yamaha Disklavier pianos, modern reproducing pianos with an excellent array of electronic recording and playback features. Whatever you’re searching for we can help you to find it.

Striking the right note

We recognise that everyone’s piano needs are different, with varying skill levels, budgets and available space. Which is why we pride ourselves on offering such a wide range of competitively priced piano makes and models.

Unsure whether you’re ready to commit to buying a piano? Then why not hire one instead? We offer a great piano hire scheme, allowing you to decide whether you’re ready to invest or to buy in the confidence that you’re choosing the right piano for you.

Perhaps you already have an instrument but instead, you’re searching for piano stools and accessories, a reliable tuning service or a way of safely moving your piano from A-B? Whatever it is you need, we’re confident we can help.

As a middle-of-the-road amateur, both musically and financially, I was initially very nervous about embarking on this bucket-list quest for a midlife diversion. But we soon found ourselves unexpectedly at home as Mick and Richard welcomed … More us in to the showroom. Before we knew it, we were enraptured by the diverse makes and models in this pianistic treasure trove, hammering away in some sort of speed-dating frenzy (with the pianos) -- I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach as I came to think of it.Richard gave us ample time and space to explore and indulge ourselves, checking in here and there just to answer any questions we had and made us feel very comfortable through the matchmaking journey. At the end, we didn't only purchase our ideal piano but, as a bonus, received an unforgettably blissful experience in this showroom.It's been a week since the arrival of our piano, and every day has become so surreal now that we are able to summon such acoustic pleasures from our living room -- literally music to our ears. Thank you, Richard.

I wanted a Yamaha C6. I saw one on eBay. I worried about its state as an eBay item but found it was being sold by Richard Lawson Pianos, it was also on their website with many other pianos. I checked as many reviews as I could find about … More this company and found them hugely positive. That gave me the confidence I needed to make contact by email. Richard responded promptly. A visit to the showroom would have been difficult for me at this time and after a few emails between us I accepted Richard’s assurance that the piano was excellent. I decided to buy the C6.

Richard spoke truly – it is an excellent Yamaha C6. A good piano is an expensive purchase. If you want value for money and a pain free experience, choose Richard Lawson Pianos.

Richard spent a lot of time helping me pick out the right piano for me. All I needed to do was tell him my exact specification for what I was looking for, and he quickly came up with a shortlist of possible pianos. He also replied to emails … More promptly. He didn't rush me, and allowed me to come and visit multiple times to try out different pianos as they came into the showroom. The showroom is also very nice (the only criticism is that it is slightly difficult to find), with a huge range of pianos. The delivery crew were also efficient and accommodating. I don't foresee changing pianos for a long time, but I would go back to Richard Lawson, and recommend to any friend.

I have been aware of Shigeru Kawai pianos since Florian Mitrea told me about them two years ago. I took the opportunity to hear Ashley Fripp play one at Richard Lawson’s piano studio last November. It was wonderful. I hesitated about … More buying one because I thought we did not have room for one. I visited RL again on 28th February and chose an SK2. It was delivered on 6 March. The two men were extremely prompt and efficient. We were so impressed. The piano is magnificent with such a beautiful sound and action and a joy to play. My one regret is that I waited so long.
