Great place to choose the right piano for your needs, offers a wide selection for both the amateur and professional! I tried out a number of pianos. My second hand yamaha arrived pristine, and was delivered with care and attention. Plays beautifully and Richard was knowledgeable and helpful in giving playing tips to an amateur such as myself!

A huge thank you to Colin & Richard @ Richard Lawson Piano’s. If you are considering buying a piano then take my advice and look no further. I was in the market to purchase a grand Piano for my 13-year-old daughter and after looking for a couple of months, indecisive which Piano to purchase, I came across Richard Lawson Piano’s. My initial call was with Richard who was extremely nice, knowledgeable, relaxed and not sales pushy. Based on that I decided to make the journey across to Amersham from Kent to visit the showroom where the selection and choice was just endless. I was welcomed by Colin who’s knowledge was incredible, he took his time without pressurising me to make a decision nor did he pressurise me to purchase anything. If you’re not 100% sure what to buy and need to look around to consider options then look no further, this is the Piano supper market. They also opened up for us especially the day before Christmas break to collect. Thank you so very much for a fantastic service. All the best Matt & Kirstie

Richard Lawson Pianos are excellent retailers for pianos. And I would absolutely recommend for anyone buying their first piano to go there, as their hospitality and professionalism is top tier. Colin was the very kind gentleman who guided me step by step into chosing a piano withing my budget and of excellent quality.

I purchased a Yamaha digital 825 recently. I was very impressed with the high level of service I received from ordering through to the delivery. I have also had help with help, regarding the setting up of my earphones . They are very knowledgeable, friendly, efficient people to deal with. I can recommend the service of Richard Lawson. It is excellent!

As a non player and first time piano purchaser buying for advanced level teenage players we needed allot of guidance and support in sourcing our piano. We have had an excellent service from Colin at Richard Lawson Pianos. From our initial telephone conversation to help us understand our requirements and give clear unbiased advice to what we should be looking for (and avoid), through to our showroom visit on the following weekend. Amazing showroom and selection of Pianos to select from, we enjoyed our visit and selection process. Purchasing, finance and delivery were all seemless and highly co-ordinated making everything simple and stress free. Great service all round.

I have been recommending Richard Lawson Pianos to my students for over 10 years, and every experience has been excellent. Colin was incredibly helpful from start to finish. I didn't even need to visit the showroom, as he promptly answered all my questions and matched the best price. He was also happy to hold the piano for over a month while I arranged the move of my previous piano. The delivery was almost impossible due to the access, but Colin organised everything smoothly. The delivery team worked incredibly hard and managed what seemed impossible. To make things even better, the piano technician contacted me just two days after delivery without me having to chase anyone. The piano was delivered on Friday, and I already had a message from the technician by Sunday. The level of customer service has been outstanding every time I have purchased a piano from Richard Lawson Pianos. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality piano and first-class service. Thank you so much, Colin, for all your help!

I reached out to Richard Lawson to upgrade our piano for daughter - we met Colin who helped and advised us so well. We then purchased the the piano which was delivered promptly, it was such a smooth process from start to finish, and we would thoroughly recommend the team at Richard Lawson.
