Montague Pianos

18/08/2026

After 147 years, Montague Pianos has now closed for business.

Although our doors are closing, we want to make sure our customers can still find the help they need.

We’ve updated our website with details of our approved piano tuners and a reputable piano removals company, so there will still be a useful place to turn for ongoing piano care and support:

This page won’t be maintained after our closure, and our old telephone numbers and email addresses will no longer be monitored or active from September.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Montague Pianos over the years. It has been a privilege to look after so many pianos, and the people who play them.

With our very best wishes to all our customers, old and new, and thank you for being part of Montague Pianos.

Montague Pianos : Closing Down Announcement

After many years on the High Street, we are very sad to announce that Montague Pianos will be closing its shop in August this year.

Montague Pianos was established in 1879, making it nearly 150 years old. For many decades it has been our privilege to help generations of customers, families, schools, musicians and beginners find the right piano for their homes, their children, their classrooms and their music.

We want to say a sincere thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. It has been a real pleasure finding the right families the right pianos, and continuing to look after their musical needs through tuning, removals, repairs and advice.

Montague Pianos has always been proud to be trusted by educational institutions, composers, and the Royal Ballet. But just as importantly, we have been proud to be trusted by local families, many of whom have come back to us year after year.

As we prepare to close the shop, we are now holding a genuine closing down sale. Everything must go.

There are real bargains to be had right now across our remaining stock, including new and pre-owned pianos, upright pianos, grand pianos, stools, metronomes and accessories. If you have been thinking about buying a piano, upgrading, or finally bringing music into your home, this is the moment to come and see us.

Although the shop itself is closing, our piano tuning round will continue under the management of our professional tuners, Clive and David, who many of our customers will already know from previous visits. They will continue looking after our customers’ pianos with the same care and professionalism.

Thank you, truly, for all the support, loyalty, kindness and friendship over the years.

Big name grand. Tiny price.

Our C. Bechstein baby grand is now available in our Spring Sale for just £3,995, reduced from £7,995.

C. Bechstein is one of the most respected names in piano making, with a long history of building beautiful, characterful instruments. This baby grand has the presence, tone, and prestige of a serious grand piano, but at a price that is very rarely seen for a name of this calibre.

It would make a wonderful centrepiece for a home, teaching studio, music room, or smaller performance space.

Was £7,995
Now £3,995

As with all our pianos, it includes our usual preparation, delivery guidance, warranty, and complimentary first tuning after delivery.

Montague Pianos is trusted by educational institutions, composers, and the Royal Ballet, and we are continuing to offer carefully selected new and used upright and grand pianos while stock remains.

Once this C. Bechstein is gone, we are unlikely to find another grand piano deal quite like it.

Please call or visit the shop to arrange a viewing.

Sold today.

A super upright Waldstein has just found its new owners in our incredible spring sale.

A lovely local family came in looking to bring music into their home, hoping to inspire their toddler and reignite a previous childhood passion for playing the piano.

It is always a pleasure to help a piano find the right home, especially when it is staying close by and will continue to be played and enjoyed.

We still have a small number of quality new and used upright and grand pianos available, all reduced as part of the sale. Once they are gone, they are gone.

Montague Pianos is trusted by educational institutions, composers, and the Royal Ballet, and we are continuing to help families, teachers, schools, and players find the right piano while stock remains.

Please call or visit the shop to see what is currently available.

Spring has arrived, and with it some of the most significant savings we’ve ever offered at Montague Pianos.

There is now over £15,000 worth of genuine reductions across our current stock, including instruments that very rarely appear at these prices.

A Blüthner baby grand reduced from £11,995 to £5,995.
A Bechstein baby grand now just £3,995 at 50% off.

Alongside these headline instruments, we have a wide selection of beautifully prepared uprights with 30% off, offering exceptional value across the range.

These are not clearance pieces, but quality pianos that have been carefully prepared in our workshop and are ready to be enjoyed.

Opportunities like this do not come around often, and once these instruments are gone, they are gone.

Montague Pianos are trusted by educational institutions, composers, and the Royal Ballet.

Call us on 01442 876131 to book your viewing appointment.
