White & Sentance

In the excitement of letting you all know our new and improved opening hours I accidentally put the wrong date in my original post and Facebook in all its wisdom won't let me edit it! So, new appointment only Saturday mornings will come into effect from Saturday 15th August 2026. As all posts need pictures to grab people's attention, this one is featuring Basil, the 25 year old African grey parrot, who spent most of yesterday's tuning appointment trying to sing along with the piano (when he wasn't swearing at me)! 🤣

A Little Change to How We Welcome You on a Saturday!

As a family-run business, we've always wanted everyone who visits us to feel relaxed and never rushed. That's why we're moving to appointment-only visits on Saturday mornings.

We know that choosing a piano is a special decision, and we believe it's best done in a calm, quiet showroom where you can take your time. By booking an appointment, you'll have the whole showroom to yourselves, so you can play, compare, and enjoy the pianos without anyone else around.

We'll be there to answer any questions, offer advice if you want it, and make sure you have all the time you need to find the right piano for you.

Booking an appointment is easy—just give us a call or send us a message. We can't wait to welcome you and help you find a piano you'll love.

This change comes into effect from Saturday 22nd August 2026

White & Sentance is a long established family run business specialising in the sales, tuning and restoration of acoustic pianos.

It's been a busy few months here with this Steinway upright coming in for a full mechanical refurb including new hammers by Abel in Germany. It's now nearing completion and getting ready to make way for our next project, to be revealed soon!

We are really fortunate to have so many loyal customers, and some have been with us for generations.

One such customer owns this lovely Knight K20 upright, which we’ve been maintaining since the 1970s. Today, Chris tuned it for the 61st time!

That’s a remarkable milestone—for both the piano and Chris… although we’re not sure he’d appreciate us pointing out that it might mean he’s getting a bit older! 😊

Thank you to all our wonderful customers for your continued trust and support.

Today we supplied and fitted this protective quilted made-to-measure cover, and safety A Frame to a Yamaha grand recently purchased by a Stamford Church. These top quality British made items will protect their investment for many years to come.

On a recent sunny day we lined up our vehicles in front of the showroom. Luke’s van on the left, Chris’s on the right, and everybody’s favourite in the middle!

We are very pleased to have played a small part in the restoration of this old Compton cinema organ by sponsoring part of the instrument as it is relocated to Grantham Museum.

This lovely Schiedmayer, Stuttgart upright has arrived in stock this week. We have maintained it since 2002, and it has the unusual combination of compact size with a top quality German Renner action. We will be preparing it during the next week. A real musicians piano.
