With a budget of 2200 you can afford a Yamaha you can get a
Yamaha C113T &2,099.00 or Yamaha C109 &1,819.00 or
Yamaha C110A &1,599.00 quite a few places are discounting them there is an Ad at the top of the forum he is dong them at that price Chambland pianos and others do them close to that price if not the same as well
Not come across Wendl & Lung samick pinaos are OK

Dear Barrie, thank you for your reply, i didnt realise you could get a new Yamaha for under &2500, the C113T appeals to me because i prefer the more traditional look rather than the modern school type piano, looking at there website the music box seems to be a reputable firm, have you had any dealings with them? or know anyone that has ?
Regards
Chris

Have you thought about the Bristol Piano Company? They're in Whiteladies Road, Bristol, I think, and although they're millions of miles from here (Buckinghamshire) I have 2 clients who have bought from them because they were so reasonable. They are willing to come down on prices more than your average dealer, and you get to see and try the instrument you buy which is one thing you can't do on the web...

Yes I do know them, I do some their prepping of their new pianos along side two other tuners I also do work for Rimmers Music, Bluthners, and in the past Harrods when it was subcontracted to Welmars also did work for BPM and some times for Steinwayspianolad23 wrote:Dear Barrie, thank you for your reply, i didnt realise you could get a new Yamaha for under &2500, the C113T appeals to me because i prefer the more traditional look rather than the modern school type piano, looking at there website the music box seems to be a reputable firm, have you had any dealings with them? or know anyone that has ?

He is the sort of dealer tuners like - he pays prompt and if you tell him that needs doing to sort a problem out he says, “Get on with it”
I try not to push him too much but it is difficult with his prices being so low
But please do remember it is always better to sit in front of the piano you are going to buy and try it
You should also try Tostevins this person got a good deal there but not on a Yamaha

Thanks for your advice Barrie, we have 2 piano warehouses within 40 miles either way from where i live so i will prob end up buyin a piano from either of them ! it's just knowing which ones are best! if i have to part with &2500 then i gotta be sure the piano i choose is a good one.

Hi
I have a Wendl and would recommend them. If you get them at the right price they can fit into your price category. I can only say that having used the Wendl, I am very very pleased. It is of course a personal choice upon which tone, playability and looks fit you.
Also, Rimmers Southport helped out a great deal in obtaining the Wendl And Lung.
