I visited the Piano Man shop to help someone else acquire a piano when I met and spoke at length with both Mark and Oliver. They are friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful, and they let me try a wide range of pianos, all of which … More were a pleasure to explore. I found trying the uprights rewarding as well as informative. However, I have a grand piano and have more experience with a wider range of grands than of uprights. So, I was particularly interested in trying the grands. I was very impressed indeed with the quality of them. After my visit I received additional insightful advice from Oliver. I would recommend a visit to the Piano Man shop to anyone looking for a good upright or grand and living in Yorkshire or beyond.

We bought our upright piano from Mark at the piano man, Leeds, They we’re recommended to me by my dad.
We were able to visit the showroom and given time to make our choice. The instrument was carefully delivered on time to the room of our … More choice. Excellent communication throughout. The follow up tuning service was extremely helpful too.
It’s a beautiful piano, which visitors often comment on, and it sounds wonderful (well as wonderful as I can make it sound haha)
Our piano provides a focal point for our family, with our children learning to play too. We’re really pleased with the excellent service provided by Mark.
Would highly recommend.

I have played piano all my life but bought my first Kawai piano at the Piano Man in Leeds about ten years ago (on the strong recommendation from a jazz pianist friend of mine). The owner Mark provided me with all the information and advice … More that I required and guided me towards the sort of piano that he believed would best suit my style, ability and price range. I was definitely not disappointed with the service!
Later, when I wanted to upgrade to a better model, I returned to the Piano Man. Mark and the rest of his team (Oliver and David) once again excelled in customer service. I spent many hours over numerous days playing every piano in the shop (quite a lot!) and eventually (with their help and advice) I settled on the excellent Kawai K600. Including the trade-in on my old Kawai, and a generous price reduction on the K600, I got an overall very competitive deal, with which I am totally satisfied.
In summary, there is only one shop that I would recommend to anyone looking to buy a new or second-hand piano, and that is the Piano Man in Leeds!

Contact and reply to contact was prompt, friendly and efficient, delivery on time and professional on all occasions.

If you're looking to make as significant a purchase as a piano and live in the area (or even further afield, it will be worth the trip) then I can't think why you would go anywhere other than The Piano Man. Our experience was … More exactly why you should go to an independent specialist retailer for this type of purchase - the owners and staff are clearly passionate about what they do and extremely knowledgeable about their products.

I was put in touch with Ollie by my new tuner, Simon Topping, who suggested if I was serious about passing grade 5 then I should think about investing in a better piano than the one I had. After a bit of research I narrowed my choices … More down to either a Kawai or Schimmel and discussed the merits of both with Ollie on the phone. Needless to say when I finally got to visit the shop I was a bit overwhelmed and found it difficult to choose my new piano. Ollie was great, he played each piano so I could hear the difference then left me to play them to get a feel for each one. Thank you so much Ollie for helping me choose the Wilhelm Schimmel 114. I now really appreciate how much difference a good piano makes with improving technique, practising and playing. I highly recommend this shop if you are considering investing in a new piano, you can’t go wrong with Ollie’s help and advice.

I found out about the Pianoman in 2018, when I was looking for a 7-foot grand piano. After an extensive international search, I was looking forward to my first opportunity to test a Shigeru Kawai of that size, motivated by the excellent … More impression I had of their smaller models.I first visited the Pianoman in November 2018 but only found Shigeru Kawai's SK2 models. I gave my contact to Oliver on that day, in the hope that he would let me know if he hears of a larger Shigeru Kawai available to try. In April 2019, I received an extraordinary email from Mark telling me that he had just ordered an SK6. This news impressed me a great deal, particularly since my search experience had started to make me doubt the ability of piano dealers to listen to their customers but also because I imagine that bringing in such an instrument was a somewhat risky business move.I tried SK6 #2708291 at the first opportunity: it reminded me of the qualities I found in SK2 and SK3 but with the advantages of a larger instrument. The action surpassed that of any other piano I tried of that size: it was highly controllable down to the softest pianissimi, produced perfectly balanced sound across registers. The instrument was capable of a large dynamic range without ever being difficult to control. This last quality, rare even amongst top tier instruments, makes it easier to correct technical deficiencies when practising and played an important role in my decision-making process. Acoustically, as for any instruments of this quality, it is mostly a matter of personal preference. This particular instrument had a warm bass evolving progressively towards a clear and singing treble and suited me very well. Having been the front-runner in my shortlist since I first tested it, especially due to its outstanding action, SK6 #2708291 became more and more the obvious choice with each visit and I am now in possession of the perfect instrument to further my pianistic abilities.Mark and Oliver never failed to make me comfortable during my many visits. They were present to answer questions when I needed and let me try their pianos in complete privacy. When I started contemplating the purchase, they brought in their favorite piano technician, David, to prepare the piano so that I could try it in the best conditions. He did a remarkable job, both on the action and the tuning, and I am happy to continue with his services onward.Since the sale, Mark has always been available (even during lockdown) to advise me on how to best care for my piano. The Pianoman has never provided me with less than excellent service and I recommend it highly to any pianist.

I recently spent time with Oliver from the Piano Man in Leeds and he managed to be super helpful, pull strings and generally work magic in order to get my piano arranged for delivery all the way down to the south west of the UK in a very … More short timescale.If this wasn't enough then he managed to outperform that customer service by not getting cross with me when I needed to delay my delivery due to some unforeseen personal circumstances..

My personal experience with The Piano Man was excellent. He has a good selection of pianos and has made good use of the space he has. His knowledge is valuable and his advice honest. Let me tell you about my experience...As a fairly accomplished … More pianist who had not played for a few years, I went to Mark's shop to look at pianos expecting to pay thousands of pounds. I also had an idea about which instruments I was interested in based on reading around. Mark took the time to ask me about my needs and listened to what I had to say. He then gave me his advice and based on that advice he saved me thousands of pounds. This is a decision that I would never have made without his advice and without being able to play the instrument in comfort in his shop.I am sure that if you want to buy a piano blind on the internet, you may be able to find cheaper but that would come without the advice, the support and the guidance that Mark gives. It's up to you, but in my opinion, if you want to invest in a piano, you should do it right. It's an instrument that you will be getting enjoyment from for a long time.I cannot comment about anyone elses' experience but I felt Mark was extremely knowledgeable and his advice honest... to the extent that it cost him a lot of money and saved me thousands.

Having read the good reviews and being reasonably impressed with the Piano Man's website, I decided to visit Leeds to look at pianos. As I live some distance away from Leeds, I was hoping to be impressed. Despite being made to feel … More very welcome on arrival, it soon became clear that most of the prices were fairly top-end and the shop appeared somewhat cramped. I could not find what I was looking for and was expecting to find a greater selection of pianos within my price range; I was disappointed to say the least. At this point in my visit I can only describe what were high pressure sales techniques being used and the whole experience became awkward. I appreciate that the current financial climate is difficult, but, I did not appreciate the confrontational insistence of the seller. Although I'm sure not everyone will experience this, I was relieved to leave the shop.

I had been thinking for some months about upgrading our 'well-loved' piano to a newer model as my son had reached quite a good standard. His teacher was suggesting that, in order to progress further, we would need to invest in … More a more up to date one. After visiting several places in the Leeds city centre area and Bradford area I was becoming a bit disenchanted and overwhelmed with the differing amount of information and assistance I was being given bearing in mind I was working within a £3K - 4K budget. How hard could it be? Then, one night, whilst idly looking on-line at pianos, I came across The Pianoman's massively extensive website. If only I'd found this earlier. Clearly, if the website was anything to go by I was going to be impressed by the premises, so I ventured over to Easterly Rd near Oakwood in North Leeds. The usual parking problems associated with City Centre shopping did not apply here and I was able to park right outside the shop, recently extended, Mark told me, to house an extensive array of nice shiny Kawai grand pianos. Unfortunately, I was not going to buy one of those today but, in the future, who knows?..... Anyway, I explained to Mark what the teacher had suggested and he went to great lengths to explain the varying types, feel, and quality of the products without making me feel in the slightest bit inadequate, bearing in mind my knowledge of pianos is limited to knowing the keys at the bottom are a lot lower in sound than the ones at the top! My 15 year old son was a little too self conscious to experiment in front of him so Mark patiently showed us round all the pianos within our price range, playing beautifully for us, whilst also pointing out the subtle differences in tone and touch, etc. After much deliberation (but with no high pressure sales pitches from the proprietor!) we finally settled on a second hand Kawai which had only recently been brought in as a part exchange, apparently. The beauty of this meant that there was sufficient funds remaining in our budget to enable us to buy a small digital piano so that my son can practice in his room with headphones on as he gets older! The digital arrived in stock very quickly so both pianos were delivered to us within a week of purchase. Marks delivery guys made it look so easy as they had to up end the piano in the hall to get it in to the room - no problem, and they very kindly took the boxed digital upstairs and assembled it for me. All in all, a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

We were able to visit the showroom and given time to make our choice. The instrument was carefully delivered on time to the room of our … More choice. Excellent communication throughout. The follow up tuning service was extremely helpful too.
It’s a beautiful piano, which visitors often comment on, and it sounds wonderful (well as wonderful as I can make it sound haha)
Our piano provides a focal point for our family, with our children learning to play too. We’re really pleased with the excellent service provided by Mark.
Would highly recommend.

I have played piano all my life but bought my first Kawai piano at the Piano Man in Leeds about ten years ago (on the strong recommendation from a jazz pianist friend of mine). The owner Mark provided me with all the information and advice … More that I required and guided me towards the sort of piano that he believed would best suit my style, ability and price range. I was definitely not disappointed with the service!
Later, when I wanted to upgrade to a better model, I returned to the Piano Man. Mark and the rest of his team (Oliver and David) once again excelled in customer service. I spent many hours over numerous days playing every piano in the shop (quite a lot!) and eventually (with their help and advice) I settled on the excellent Kawai K600. Including the trade-in on my old Kawai, and a generous price reduction on the K600, I got an overall very competitive deal, with which I am totally satisfied.
In summary, there is only one shop that I would recommend to anyone looking to buy a new or second-hand piano, and that is the Piano Man in Leeds!

I purchased a Kawai upright piano from the Piano Man around two and a half years ago. I was offered advice which I found very useful, recommendation of model type to suit the function of the room and acoustics, even advice on how to mic … More the piano and remove some of the wooden structures to improve sound for recording and live performance purposes. Contact and reply to contact was prompt, friendly and efficient, delivery on time and professional on all occasions. The Piano Man continues to be of service, freely offering advice and finding solutions. I am happy to strongly recommend this provider and stand over their workmanship and service.

I bought a Piano recently from Mark & Oliver and the process was very simple and nothing too much trouble, with sound advice and patience while I played a number of Pianos on numerous different occasions. I ultimately changed the Piano … More I wanted at the last minute as the one I'd reserved I had some slight reservations on it's suitability for me and they changed without any issue. If you want to buy a Piano from a reputable seller, with no pressure and have a great choice this is the place, especially if you want to buy a Kawai Piano which I did. Extremely Happy with the Piano, thank you.

Incredible service. From first making contact we could not have asked for a better service from Mark, Oliver and David. Oliver responded to all our questions and provided personalised friendly guidance via email. Mark welcomed us in store. … More He provided expert advice with no pressure to purchase; played my daughter her favourite songs and gave her her first ever piano lesson. David provided additional advice regarding maintenance giving reassurance to novice would be piano owners. Delivery was extremely quick and conducted by two friendly, professional and extremely careful guys. Following delivery, Oliver, has been in touch to ensure we are happy with our piano and the service provided. I would highly recommend the Piano Man Leeds to anyone considering purchasing a piano.
