Why buy from us?We have been established since 1953 when Ronald Ware the founder of our piano business completed his apprenticeship at Hickies & Hickies music shop Boscombe, Dorset where his master could also trace his learning lineage back to the 19th century. We have been expertly restoring, repairing and tuning pianos for Radio 4, music colleges, and were former County Council contract school piano tuners and repairers for Dorset, Hampshire, West Sussex, Harrow and Bucks. Our experience and expertise is second to none. We sell only Pianos; your piano purchase is special to us and would love to continue the after care for years to come! Also, if you’re within 70 miles of Bournemouth we offer two free tunings!
This piano comes with a 2 year warranty. Delivery can be included, please let us know post code and if ground floor and any steps to the property.
Stunning Welmar upright with hardly any use, made c1993 in Mahogany open grain matt finish. This piano is at A440 concert pitch and is stable in its tuning. We have completed our multi point check and the regulation is perfect. The tone is warm and full with that typical British delicate tone and touch. The case is perfect and so is the structure of the piano as a whole. This piano is like a new piano even with its 27 years age which is no age for a piano.
Welmar pianos were made by Welpdale Maxwell & Codd who were British manufacturers who also imported the excellent and expensive Bluthner pianos. Welmar went out of production around 2003 and at the time of this pianos manufacture Bluthner we’re having allot of input into the making of Welmar and many of Bluthner’s characteristics are in this piano. The British piano manufacturing came to an end even with the help of such great piano companies help.
The Langer action in this Welmar was made by Herrburger Brooks who also made actions for other beautiful British pianos such as Knight and Eavestaff and even Bechstein at one time.
The pedigree of Welmar pianos is well known and they were a favourite of pianists and students alike. We are happy to give a virtual zoom/FaceTime etc viewing and play during lockdown as with all our pianos. We can also record it playing for you and send it to your preferred contact.
We can offer finance and accept credit cards or BACS etc.
No quibble 14 day return policy or exchange, customer is responsible for return.
Nigel was very welcoming and let our daughter try different pianos in his showroom which helped us to make a final decision.All are very happy with the new Kawai which sounds great.
First class service from Nigel at Dorset Pianos. Within 2 days of my initial enquiry he arranged a viewing of the many beautiful pianos in stock at his Blandford showroom and just 2 days after that had my chosen piano delivered. This is the second piano I have bought from Nigel and can’t speak highly enough of him. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nigel offered helpful advice, answered all our questions and organised a very prompt and reasonably priced delivery. Our daughter is delighted with her new piano! We would definitely recommend Dorset Pianos.
Great service from start to finish from Nigel, we bought our first baby grand and are very pleased with it. It was fascinating to visit the workshop and see all the beautiful instruments there. We look forward to seeing Nigel for the first tuning, which is another great benefit of the purchase from Dorset Pianos, with personal aftercare and the opportunity to upgrade when our playing improves! Many thanks and 100% + recommended.
My experience of purchasing a piano from Dorset Pianos was fantastic. Nigel provided excellent customer service with quick response and action. He was patient to answer my questions in detail. I believe that is his lovely nature.
We bought a beautiful piano from Nigel - it plays wonderfully, was a great price and was delivered within days. The advice and guidance given when choosing from the wide range in the showroom was super honest (we wanted a starter piano and not too expensive) and very well considered. Totally recommend.
Fantastic customer service from Nigel who responded promptly to my enquiries and allowed me to come visit the showroom to try out the pianos. A great selection of beautiful pianos at reasonable prices. Delivery was fast and on time. Thanks Nigel. Would highly recommend your business to others.
Fantastic experience of working with Nigel to make our dreams become reality. Great sales, service, delivery end-to-end, and nice to chat over options with someone so obviously knowledgeable and passionate - but never over "salesy" in approach. Thanks Nigel. WE LOVE OUR GL-10 🙂
Nigel was very open and helpful, he had a choice of several lovely pianos in our price range and gave us the time we needed to compare them properly. Our piano of choice has settled in nicely in it's new home and is a joy to play and listen to. A well deserved 5 stars for product and service!
