I have nothing but praise for Richard and his team at Richard Lawson pianos. I found out about them quite recently in an article at the back of International Piano magazine, and was delighted to see that they had relatively recently opened … More a huge showroom in Amersham, close to where I live.My first contact was to get their technician, Rick, to come and tune my upright Kemble piano, and after a couple of emails, we found a convenient time and date, and Rick came and did a splendid job at a very competitive price. So, if you need you piano tuned or looked at, please think of Rick.As I then proceeded to play it more, I came to realise that good as this piano was, it simply was not "the instrument" for me or for my rather small living area, so I started to look at top end digital pianos, and found that Richard stocks one of the leading models, the Kawai DG30. I made an appointment by email, and came to the showrooms, where the very friendly and expert Colin let me try the instrument out at my leisure, and also demonstrated it himself (he is a very good pianist!). Once it was clear I was going to buy this instrument, we discussed and agreed a part exchange for my Kemble. This was on a Friday, and by the following Wednesday, I had the new instrument delivered, unboxed, and assembled at home, and my Kemble taken away by their excellent removal team. I am delighted with the new purchase, and really looking forward to getting more familiar with it, and getting back to regular playing.Every step here has been a pleasure - on top of the excellent service in person, Richard and especially Colin have been incredibly responsive on email and phone to ensure things happened smoothly and quickly. I would unreservedly recommend them to anyone interested in a piano, whether, acoustic or digital, upright or grand - their range in the showroom is astounding!Jeremy -

I bought a piano (Kawai Anytime X upright) from Richard a number of years ago and he has been a shining example of customer focused care. During purchase he was very helpful and knowledgeable (he really knows his stuff about the physics, … More materials, inner mechanical workings, and so on involved in a piano). After purchase he’s been very responsive to my queries and always goes that extra mile to help.
I recently moved flats, and went back to him for piano moving services (since I was very happy with the service when they delivered the piano after I bought it), and that was fantastic too - those guys had my very heavy piano out the flat, navigating what turned out to be a rather awkward stairwell, in 15 minutes!! They are fully equipped and strapped my piano in safely with proper quilted covering.
His logistics team was really great too on the day. Easy to contact and very kind and understanding about the stresses of moving!
I would recommend Richard Lawson Pianos to anyone considering buying, or moving, a piano. -

From booking a man appointment to the piano arriving the service has been excellent.
I had researched a number of different piano retailers but Richard Lawson had fantastic reviews so I thought I’d have a look here first. I wasn’t … More disappointed! There is a massive selection of pianos and Colin kindly took me through all of the ones that fitted my needs (about 20!). He understood what I was looking for in a piano and I had a number that I could have picked.
Delivery was swift and arranged at a convenient time. The delivery drivers were experts and quickly manoeuvred the piano through the corners in my house. Now I have the pleasure of playing a fantastic instrument.
A big thank you to Colin and the rest of the team -

I have no idea of Pianos but do have an experienced teacher for my Son and a second opinion from a musician who spent many years in the London Philharmonic orchestra.
The Yamaha U3 I bought for my son have great tone in excellent condition … More at a very competitive price.
I have no idea so I know I have been a complete nuisance to deal with. I asked many questions , some of which I didn't understand (That is the danger of google).
I wanted a new instrument on a low tight budget.
Colin and Richard are not pushy salesmen they do not need to be they are backed by a solid reputation, what they are is caring , honest, patient and good listeners. I got more that what i wanted.
I expected the delivery to be cumbersome but that was smoother that flying to New York first class using a limousine service. Again experienced humble gentlemen in and out in minutes with no issues.
I would not hesitate to recommend Richard Lawson Pianos to any potential buyer or seller and you will have a great experience. -

Buying a grand piano is not usually a spur-of-the-moment decision, but in my case it almost was! Having enjoyed playing a Yamaha C7 and seeing that Richard had one for sale at a very good price I made contact. I narrowed my choice to … More the C7 or C6, both of which he was willing, on payment of a deposit, to reserve until I could get down to London (I live 35 miles south of Edinburgh). The chose day was immediately after the day of railway chaos, but Richard contacted me on the train and offered an alternative route via Watford junction, meeting me there, and taking me to try both pianos (including a welcome cup of tea!). Decision made (at a leisurely pace), he kindly drove me back to the station. It took a few days to organise my finance, but he was very understanding. With everything in place, the piano was scheduled to arrive on Thursday, 29th August, and the piano removal company kept me fully informed of the likely arrival time. The two guys were excellent (yes - just 2 for a 400kg piano!) and took a great deal of care in bringing it into the house and setting it up. From my very first contact with Richard through to the e-mails following delivery I have nothing but positive comments and would thoroughly recommend Richard Lawson Pianos - and distance is no object! It goes without saying that I'm loving the piano!! -

I have an impossible schedule at the moment and in my search for a piano, I found Richard always made himself available to discuss … More my budget and options. I visited many shops (did a lot of driving) and did find that Richards pianos were just that bit better with regards to wear and tear. I noticed that the refurbished felt and hammers looked in better condition, as did the piano casing. I'm not an expert but I have looked at over 50 pianos now. I'm also happy with the price, and believe me, I spend many many hours and days searching. I hope my review helps! -
