Free, and old, pianos

A word of caution

Please think very carefully before accepting an offer of a "free" piano as more often than not they turn out to be a costly mistake and you may end up having to pay to dispose of it.

​

Unlike a violin, a piano definitely does not improve with age.

​

Always check the instrument personally or ask a qualified technician to assess the piano before accepting it. There are many nice pianos out there but there are also many more that are ready to be scrapped.

​

If the piano sounds terrible, then avoid it!

Peckham Pianos are happy to advise on buying a good and reasonably priced 2nd hand piano.
