We buy pianos or offer them on commission!
We are always on the lookout for special pianos and pianolas, the treasures from the golden era. As beautiful as so many pianos are, we only buy instruments from before 1940 - and only certain instruments from this period. If we are unable to make you a purchase offer but see the potential in your instrument, we can also offer you consignment solutions by arrangement.
In times of rapidly increasing supply and equally rapidly decreasing demand, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find an appreciative buyer in a timely manner. The tightening of the EU law on buying and selling instruments with ivory on the keyssee our article on this) makes it even more complicated. Advertisements on eBay have been banned for years and violations are being sanctioned more and more consistently.
We have been working with older upright and grand pianos for decades and have a very large network of potential buyers for beautiful instruments. This usually only requires a little time and a professional exhibition and advertising to potential buyers. We will discuss the possibilities and conditions of a commission solution with you based on the details of the instrument and the location. If you would like to entrust us with your instrument, please contact us.
We are looking for the following instruments in original condition - you are welcome to offer them to us:
- Pianos and grand pianos of the brands: Steinway & Sons, Bechstein or Blüthner
Concert grand pianos of any brand from a length of 2.20m - Jubilee grand pianos (e.g. from Blüthner, Feurich, etc.)
- Brand instruments with very small serial numbers (1-3 digits)
- Magnificent Artcase instruments of every brand
- Uprights and grand pianos in unusual designs (desk pianos, etc.)
- Pianola in every design
We are also always on the lookout:
- Piano music rolls in every design
- Accessories (stool, candlestick, key, etc.) in a particularly beautiful design
- Documents (catalogs, brochures, advertisements, invoices, etc.) from before 1940
- Accessories (pictures, prints, etc.) on the subject of Piano and Pianola from before 1940
If you have something of this kind to offer, we look forward to hearing from you! Here you will find our FASZINATIONPIANOLA instrument form to provide us with information and pictures. We will get back to you as soon as we have a suitable offer.
Please note the stricter EU rules for the purchase / sale of pianos with ivory as a key covering, which have been in force since January 19, 2022. We have compiled details on this page.
If you can no longer find a buyer for your piano, please also read our offers for piano storage and piano disposal.
