The current edition of International Piano magazine contains an article about the Schimmel piano factory. See it for yourself in this new Schimmel video. If you have ever asked yourself ‘How are pianos made?’ and ‘What makes one piano better than another?’ this film will give you an insight.
A multi award winning upright piano, backed by one of the most highly regarded German piano makers? That description perfectly fits the May M121, and it all comes at a surprisingly affordable price.
It has always been important to us to be able to offer an affordable piano which gives an unexpectedly rewarding depth and quality of sound. The May range does this by combining the best in Chinese piano making with the exacting standards required by Schimmel, the award winning German piano manufacturer. Each May piano is selected by Schimmel and transported to the factory in Brunswick, Germany, where it under-goes a rigorous inspection and careful regulation and voicing. The result is an affordable piano which Schimmel are proud to put their name to, and support with their own 5 year warranty. The demanding music periodicals in France have all given the 121 awards, including Diapason, Pianiste Maestro, and Le Monde de la Musique. (more…)

We are delighted to announce that, at last week’s Frankfurt show, we were presented with Kawai’s ‘Dealer of the Year’ award for Outstanding Performance in 2011. We have supplied Kawai upright and grand pianos to many happy customers, who have found the combination of high quality and value for money very satisfying.
We stock a wide range of Kawai pianos including their Anytime silent models and the ever popular professional range RX2 grand. The RX2 and K3 models proved particularly popular during 2011 and customers included professional musicians, teachers, and enthusiastic learners upgrading from entry-level pianos.
If you are interested in buying a new piano, do not hesitate to visit us on Deansgate where you can try a full range of Kawai instruments alongside an excellent selection of new and pre-owned pianos by Yamaha, Kemble, May, Vogel, Schimmel, Bechstein, Bosendorfer, Steinway, Pleyel, Ibach, Bentley, Challen, Chappell, Offenbach, Knight, and Hyundai.
We now have, in our piano showroom on the first floor, a beautiful pre-owned Fazioli 228 grand piano, in Black Polyester. These pianos have been a hot topic of conversation and are strongly promoted by the pianist Angela Hewitt who has used them in her critically acclaimed recordings on the Hyperion record label (available from our recorded music department on the ground floor).
This Fazioli has a large-scale sound and offers an excellent level of projection in a large space. The substantial feel of the action tells you straight away that you are playing a large and serious piano. We have the piano displayed next to a brand new Schimmel Konzert K230T, offering potential buyers the opportunity to try two very different approaches to the highest quality of piano building. Our extensive range of stock also means that you can compare these pianos with other top quality instruments by Schimmel, Steinway, Bosendorfer, and Bechstein, making our piano department the ideal place to visit if you are looking for a very special high-end grand piano.
If you would like to know more about the Fazioli or any of the pianos we stock, please do not hesitate to call us, or visit our showrooms at 126 Deansgate. We look forward to discussing and trying these superb pianos with you.
One of the great pleasures of working in the piano industry is being in a position to bring new life to a fine old piano. One such piano currently in stock here at Forsyths, is a beautiful Steinway Model O grand in rosewood polish. This instrument has been lovingly and sympathetically re-built, turning the tired old piano we first saw into an exquisite example of a late 19th century Steinway, seen in the pictures.
