One of the questions we get asked on a regular basis is 'What should I look for when buying a piano?'.  Usually, not long after that, this is followed by 'What are the differences between new and second hand pianos?' and 'What is the best make of piano to buy?'.  There are lots of pianos for sale in private ads and online but do you really know what you are getting?At Forsyths we have been selling, servicing, tuning and preparing pianos for over 150 years and our vast experience and range of stock means we are able to answer all your questions and sell you a piano that is suited to your individual needs and requirements.  There are several crucial advantages that we offer above private or internet-based sellers:1. We offer a vast range of pianos of all shapes and prices for you to try before you buy, with specialist advice on hand from staff who deal only with acoustic pianos;2. We are authorised dealers for all of the makers we stock, offering full UK based warranties and a high level of after-sales support, fully backed by the manufacturers;3. We have a fully equipped piano workshop on site, with four specialist technicans, a highly experienced voicing specialist, and a dedicated full-time tuner in addition to our team of tuners who work on the road.  Every piano we sell is checked and prepared to the very highest standards - very important when pianos are being shipped to us from factories all over the world.  Pianos aren't 'Plug and Play' and need careful setting up to give their best;4. All pre-owned stock is thoroughly serviced and guaranteed, so there is no risk that you could end up buying a piano with expensive or even terminal structural problems.  We know exactly what to look for but if you don't it is very easy to miss something which could cause you problems later on;5. We use the best specialist piano carriers in the business to deliver your piano, ensuring that it reaches you in the same condition as it left us.6. Our excellent relationship with the manufacturers means we can offer surprisingly good deals on pianos, striking the perfect balance between providing the highest levels of service and expertise and making the purchase affordable.  We won't be as cheap as the piano you've just seen advertised on Ebay, but we will certainly offer much better value for money and we might just save you from wasting hundreds of pounds or more on something which you quickly discover to be beyond it's useful life.For more details on our extensive range of pianos do not hesitate to call us, or visit us on the first floor of Forsyths at 126 Deansgate.  We look forward to hearing from you.
