The Concerto

Beautiful design, attractive price

Our new Concerto piano is a mid sized piano (114cm) inspired by our best selling 124cm Conservatoire model. It has beautifully rounded edges and profiles, and the subtle use of brass (or optional chrome ) further enhances the visual experience.

Wonderful sound

Superb control

Our precision manufactured action and carefully weighted keys provide excellent responsiveness of touch.
