Thank you to Horsham Piano centre for my beautiful Kawaii piano. Thanks to Andrew who gave me sound advice and the time to play the instrument and make up my mind. Very professional service.

We bought this beautiful Art Deco Danemann upright piano from Andrew at Horsham Piano Centre a couple of years ago. Originally built around 1937-1938, it’s been completely renovated, refinished and restrung. It is an exquisite instrument and puts up with my clumsy attempts to play very graciously ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
