As a middle-of-the-road amateur, both musically and financially, I was initially very nervous about embarking on this bucket-list quest for a midlife diversion. But we soon found ourselves unexpectedly at home as Mick and Richard welcomed … More us in to the showroom. Before we knew it, we were enraptured by the diverse makes and models in this pianistic treasure trove, hammering away in some sort of speed-dating frenzy (with the pianos) -- I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach as I came to think of it.Richard gave us ample time and space to explore and indulge ourselves, checking in here and there just to answer any questions we had and made us feel very comfortable through the matchmaking journey. At the end, we didn't only purchase our ideal piano but, as a bonus, received an unforgettably blissful experience in this showroom.It's been a week since the arrival of our piano, and every day has become so surreal now that we are able to summon such acoustic pleasures from our living room -- literally music to our ears. Thank you, Richard.

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.
