FOURTH GENERATION · FOUNDED IN SUNNINGDALE 1993
Handel Pianos Ltd
Handel Pianos buys pianos. If you have an upright or a grand you no longer need, we will give you a free, no-obligation valuation, and if you are happy with our offer, we will arrange collection and pay you promptly.
We are a fourth-generation family firm, with the showroom established in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in 1993. We have been buying, restoring and selling pianos for the best part of a century, which means two things for you: we know what an instrument is genuinely worth, and we have the workshop to restore it once we have it. That is why we can often pay more than a general house-clearance or a private buyer - a piano that needs work is still valuable to us, because we can bring it back to life.
To get a valuation, tell us a little about your piano using the form below - the maker, roughly how old it is, and a few photographs. We will come back to you, usually within one working day, with a fair figure. There is no obligation, and no charge.
Why sell to Handel Pianos
Selling a piano privately is harder than most people expect. It is large, heavy, and difficult to photograph well. Buyers are cautious, because they cannot tell from a listing whether an instrument holds its tuning or whether the action is worn. Arranging viewings for something that cannot be posted is awkward, and moving a piano is a specialist job. Many people give up and give the instrument away, or pay to have it taken to the tip.
There is a better option.
We pay a fair price, based on what the piano is actually worth. Because we restore instruments ourselves, we value a piano on its potential, not just its present condition. A tired piano by a good maker is worth real money to us.
We handle the heavy lifting - literally. Our own trained movers collect the instrument. You do not need to arrange transport, find help, or worry about damage to the piano or your home.
We pay promptly, by bank transfer, once the instrument is collected and confirmed as described.
There is no obligation. A valuation costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. If our offer is not right for you, that is entirely fine.
We are a real, established business. Fifth generation, founded in 1927, with a showroom you can visit and a name you can check. You are not dealing with an anonymous buyer from an online listing.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the maker, the age, the condition and the size. A modern Yamaha upright in good order is worth considerably more than an unbranded early-twentieth-century piano. The honest answer is that we cannot say without seeing it - which is exactly why the valuation is free. Send us some photographs and we will give you a real figure.
Yes. It is one of the main things that sets us apart from a private buyer or a clearance firm. We have our own workshop, so a piano needing restoration is still a worthwhile instrument to us. We often pay more for a tired piano by a good maker than a general buyer would for one in perfect condition.
Yes. Free, and with no obligation. If our offer is not right for you, there is nothing to pay.
With our own experienced movers, who handle pianos and nothing else. You do not need to arrange anything or lift anything.
Promptly, by bank transfer, once the instrument is collected and confirmed as described.
