With a huge range of acoustic and digital pianos and a highly skilled team, Fair Deal Music can help you secure a competitive deal while providing the expert advice, service and support needed to choose with confidence.

Find the Right Piano for You

A piano can become the musical centrepiece of a home, an essential teaching instrument, a professional performance tool or the beginning of a lifelong passion. Choosing the right model involves more than comparing prices—it means considering the sound, touch, size, features and playing experience that best suit you.

Fair Deal Music offers pianos for complete beginners, developing students, experienced musicians, teachers, schools, studios, churches, venues and professional performers. Our knowledgeable team is here to make the buying process straightforward, helping you understand the differences between models and identify the piano that genuinely meets your needs.

More Than 300 Years of Piano History

Italian instrument maker Bartolomeo Cristofori is widely credited with developing the first piano around the year 1700. Dissatisfied with the plucked sound and limited volume control of the harpsichord, Cristofori created an instrument that allowed musicians to play both softly and loudly through the pressure applied to the keys.

That ability to control expression transformed music. More than three centuries later, the piano remains one of the world’s most popular, versatile and rewarding instruments.

Explore Our Piano Collection

Acoustic Pianos

Acoustic pianos provide a naturally responsive playing experience, with real strings, hammers and a soundboard producing the instrument’s distinctive tone. They are an excellent choice for players who value traditional craftsmanship, natural resonance and the physical connection of a fully mechanical action.

Our acoustic piano selection may include upright, compact upright and grand-style instruments, depending on current availability.

Digital Pianos

Digital pianos combine an authentic piano-style playing experience with practical modern features. They can be ideal for homes, students, teachers and musicians who need adjustable volume, headphone practice, different instrument sounds, recording functions or easy integration with music technology.

Portable and Stage Pianos

Portable and stage pianos are designed for musicians who need flexibility without sacrificing playing quality. They are well suited to live performance, rehearsals, studios, teaching spaces and homes where the instrument may need to be moved or stored.

New and Pre-Owned Pianos

Our collection may include both new and carefully selected pre-owned instruments. Used pianos can offer excellent value and may provide an opportunity to own a higher-specification instrument within your budget. Availability changes regularly, so individual pre-owned pianos may be unique or limited to a single instrument.

Who Is This Collection For?

• Beginners looking for a reliable first piano
• Students progressing through lessons and graded examinations
• Experienced players upgrading their current instrument
• Parents choosing a suitable piano for their family
• Teachers, schools and music education providers
• Songwriters, composers and recording musicians
• Churches, venues, rehearsal rooms and performance spaces
• Professional pianists seeking an expressive and dependable instrument

How to Choose the Right Piano

Consider the Playing Feel

The weight, resistance and responsiveness of the keys can have a major effect on your playing experience. Beginners may want an accessible and comfortable action, while more advanced players may prefer a heavier or more detailed response that closely reflects an acoustic piano.

Think About Your Available Space

Measure the intended location carefully and consider access into the property. Acoustic and cabinet-style digital pianos can be substantial instruments, while portable models may provide greater flexibility for smaller homes or multi-purpose rooms.

Decide Which Features Matter

Some players want a traditional piano experience with minimal additional features. Others may benefit from headphone connectivity, recording tools, accompaniment functions, Bluetooth features, multiple sounds or integration with learning applications. Focus on the features that will genuinely support your playing rather than simply choosing the model with the longest specification list.

Choose for the Future

A well-chosen piano should support your development rather than quickly becoming limiting. Our team can help you balance your current ability, long-term ambitions, available space and budget so that you make a confident, informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pianos

Should I buy an acoustic or digital piano?

An acoustic piano offers natural resonance, a traditional mechanical action and an entirely organic playing experience. A digital piano may be more practical when you need headphone practice, adjustable volume, additional sounds, recording features or a more compact design. The best choice depends on your space, budget, playing goals and personal preference.

What is the best piano for a beginner?

A good beginner piano should have a comfortable, responsive keyboard and provide enough quality to support progress. A model with full-size weighted keys is often a strong choice for students developing correct technique, although the most suitable instrument will depend on the player’s age, available space and budget.

Do I need a piano with 88 keys?

An 88-key piano provides the full traditional piano range and is generally recommended for long-term learning, graded examinations and more advanced playing. Smaller keyboards can still be useful where portability, space or budget is the main priority.

Can I use headphones with a piano?

Most digital pianos include a headphone connection, allowing you to practise privately without disturbing others. Traditional acoustic pianos do not normally support headphones unless they have been fitted with a compatible silent system.

Can Fair Deal Music deliver and set up my piano?

Home delivery and setup may be available at an additional cost. The price will depend on the piano, delivery location, property access and installation requirements. Please contact our team for a personalised quotation before ordering.

Can I part exchange my current piano?

Part exchange may be available depending on the type, age, condition and current demand for your instrument. Our team will need information about the piano and may need to inspect it before confirming any valuation.

Do you sell used pianos?

Our available collection may include pre-owned acoustic and digital pianos. Used stock changes regularly and individual instruments may be one-off opportunities, so we recommend exploring the current collection or speaking to our team if you are looking for something specific.

How much space do I need for a piano?

This depends on the style of piano. Portable digital models require relatively little space, while cabinet digital pianos, upright acoustic pianos and grand pianos require progressively larger areas. Always check the product dimensions and measure the full delivery route as well as the final position.

Will an acoustic piano need tuning?

Acoustic pianos require periodic tuning to maintain the correct pitch and performance. Changes in temperature, humidity, movement and regular use can all affect tuning stability. Digital pianos do not require traditional tuning.

Can your team help me choose?

Yes. Our experienced staff can help you compare models based on playing level, musical goals, available space, preferred features and budget. Contact us or visit Fair Deal Music for friendly, practical advice.
