This piano has now been sold but we always have used baby and boudoir grand pianos in stock.
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!

Rud Ibach Sohn boudoir grand piano which has been fully restored with traditional materials and techniques. Here at Dorset Pianos Ltd we believe in rebuilding with strict traditional methods and materials where possible, we only choose some of the best pianos in the world and make sure when sourcing pianos for restorations that the soundboard has a crown and the plank is sound also that the soundboard ribs and bridge are all in good structural order. We have been in the piano renovation business for nearly 70 years and our experience over the years has enabled us to keep loyal to the original intentions of the piano maker and keeping the heart and soul of the piano in tact, which is the soundboard. So many restored pianos out there no longer have their original soundboard so there for are no longer the piano that is named on the piano sadly meaning those pianos no longer have their known tone.
