I bought my Bosendorfer 170 from Handel's after visiting and trying pianos in several different stores in the south. The process of buying the piano was relaxed and I felt reassured that I was dealing with a trustworthy company. The piano was french polished before it was sent, and I was able to see the work to check I was happy. The work done on the case was first class and it looked brilliant. Delivery went smoothly, overall I'm delighted with my purchase.

I purchased a piano from here a few months ago. Service is excellent. They take their time to answer questions and make helpful recommendations. My piano came a little tight out the factory and they sent over a piano technician to work their magic and now it performs excellently. Very good and highly recommended.

I recently bought a piano from Handel Pianos and I can not recommend them enough. They are so knowledgeable and really help you to find the right instrument for you. They are such a friendly bunch and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I have recommended them to so many people. I wouldnt buy a piano from anywhere else.

Very good showroom and my friend bought a beautiful Bentley piano (for his wife), but I got a wonderful new stool for my Yamaha piano. Good service and prices are very fair.

I cant speak highly enough of the excellent attention Ive had from Handels pianos. Tom has been wonderfully helpful, given that I live 300 miles away, and nothing has been too much trouble. Communication has been through email, phone and video. At no time did I feel pressured to buy. And now my beautiful piano has arrived and Im delighted! All credit to all the whole team at Handels as its obvious that this piano has been very well restored and taken care of, nothing has been skimped. Also delivery was perfect, again excellent service from knowledgeable and friendly people. I

The best customer service I have ever received. Tom's behavior was so professional as well as friendly, answering all my questions Patiently. I sent lots of messages via whats up asking every sort of queries, from requesting for spare Headphone, piano key to arranging for a special delivery time and received a quick reply to all of them. You can buy your piano from their store confidently:)))

Tom at Handel was a pleasure to deal with. Very knowledgeable and helpful seeing as I came in there not really knowing anything! Not once did I feel pressured to make a purchase I wasnt happy with and came away very pleased. Tom took the time on both my visits to personally take me to the other property to see their full range and gave me real piece of mind when choosing. Delivery was prompt and I was especially impressed with the condition they delivered the piano in compared to when I viewed it- all in all highly recommended!
