well of course they may have offered 700quid x number of weeks ago, but the chances are that they have sobered up again by now ;o)

Well my wife finally went to see the Tudor last night and it won't be making its way chez Tog. It was the cheapo Polish frame. She said it sounded ok but no better than ok. The keys seemed to be very stifd and felt as though something was rubbing as you depressed a key, that said they seemed to come...

I dont buy from them ( because we dont stock that sort of stuff) but ive never heard anything bad about them.

ok, well let me turn that around then - have you heard anything good about them?

We hope to go and look at the Woodchester sometime in the next week. However, as it isn't a done deal I am looking around for dealer sourced pianos. Trawling through the forum postings I found a personal recomendation for a company called Little & Lampert in Buckinghamshire from a customer who h...

Local competition counts for little these days when there's the net to get supposed bargains from. I think in general that is absolutely true. However, the marketplace inCambridge is probably a bit skewed. There is a large community of affluent academics in the town and Millers is convenient as the...

I don't object to paying a little more to get good service and sound advice about an instrument but I do object to paying way over the odds for one.

Hi All First off - I am not a pianist, my wife is and teaches novices - I refer you to the question about a Woodchester Arlingham Tudor a couple of days ago. I can go to Millers Music Centre in Cambridge and buy a used, 'reconditioned' U1 or U3 for 4 to 5 thousand - ouch. They come with a decent war...

thanks to all who have replied - I take it then that the phrase 'made in England' is used with the same gay abandon that 'home cooked food' is in grotty (and not so grotty) pubs - ie they bought it in and have heated it up in the microwave therefore they cooked it and it is home cooked. I haven't se...

Hi All My wife teaches piano, part time, to novices and has for the last few years been using her grandfathers old Chappell upright. The piano is coming to the end of its life and we need to replace it. Her grandfather used to play the piano in a church and each Sunday the piano was wheeled down to ...
