About Us

Richard Lawson Pianos have been involved in the piano trade for four decades, and we bring a wealth of expertise to the piano buying process. This experience ranges from the technical side of piano refurbishment and set up, to a deep understanding of how that effects the nuances of sound and the responsiveness of touch where the pianist is concerned. We supply a wide range of new and refurbished pianos starting at £1,295, moving up to the immensely popular Yamaha U1 and U3 Upright Pianos, beyond to the Yamaha C3 and C5 Grands, and even the Yamaha CF Concert Grand.

We also stock Steinway Grand and Upright Pianos, in addition to many other famous piano brands, such as Kawai, Shigeru Kawai, Petrof and Bösendorfer. Our clients range from beginners up to International Concert Pianists. Some of our regular clients are well known and prefer the discreet service that we can offer, if required.

Many schools and local authorities choose Richard Lawson Pianos as a trusted supplier who can be relied upon to offer 100% satisfaction, as well as highly competitive prices. We have sold thousands of Yamaha U1’s and U3’s to schools, for instance, over the years.

Richard Lawson's service was wonderful throughout the process. Colin was super responsive and helpful, even on the weekend, resulting in my delivery of a Yamaha with brand-new silent system in a week. Delivery was also very efficient … More despite stairs and narrow corridors.

I wanted a Yamaha C6. I saw one on eBay. I worried about its state as an eBay item but found it was being sold by Richard Lawson Pianos, it was also on their website with many other pianos. I checked as many reviews as I could find about … More this company and found them hugely positive. That gave me the confidence I needed to make contact by email. Richard responded promptly. A visit to the showroom would have been difficult for me at this time and after a few emails between us I accepted Richard’s assurance that the piano was excellent. I decided to buy the C6. It was delivered by a team of three people who were clearly experienced in moving pianos as it had to come a circuitous route into the house; another happy experience as they were also good people to deal with. Richard spoke truly – it is an excellent Yamaha C6. A good piano is an expensive purchase. If you want value for money and a pain free experience, choose Richard Lawson Pianos.

Richard spent a lot of time helping me pick out the right piano for me. All I needed to do was tell him my exact specification for what I was looking for, and he quickly came up with a shortlist of possible pianos. He also replied to emails … More promptly. He didn't rush me, and allowed me to come and visit multiple times to try out different pianos as they came into the showroom. The showroom is also very nice (the only criticism is that it is slightly difficult to find), with a huge range of pianos. The delivery crew were also efficient and accommodating. I don't foresee changing pianos for a long time, but I would go back to Richard Lawson, and recommend to any friend.

I have been aware of Shigeru Kawai pianos since Florian Mitrea told me about them two years ago. I took the opportunity to hear Ashley Fripp play one at Richard Lawson’s piano studio last November. It was wonderful. I hesitated about … More buying one because I thought we did not have room for one. I visited RL again on 28th February and chose an SK2. It was delivered on 6 March. The two men were extremely prompt and efficient. We were so impressed. The piano is magnificent with such a beautiful sound and action and a joy to play. My one regret is that I waited so long.
