Stock List
Courtney Pianos specialises in restoring and repolishing older pianos, mainly those manufactured between the 1890s and the 1930s; the age when arguably the finest accoustic pianos were produced.
We specialise in acquiring and refurbishing those pianos deemed to have the best potential in terms of tone and touch. Therefore the majority of the pianos we sell are made by the top 5 makers in the world – notably our favoured maker, Bechstein. In an ideal world we would like to have a regular stock list with photos, updated every month.
However, such is the pace of life that we simply cannot keep an accurate up-to-date stock list as it becomes out-of-date very quickly.
So we list below the types of pianos that we usually like to have available in our showroom with price ranges.
