Broadwood built pianos for Beethoven, Chopin, and many of the great composers of the 18th and 19th centuries, and played a central role in the development of the modern piano. A Broadwood upright carries with it a piece of musical history that no Japanese instrument can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does a Broadwood compare to a Kemble or Knight at a similar price?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Kemble or Knight is a 20th-century British domestic piano with solid build quality and a warm tone. A Broadwood carries a longer and more distinguished heritage but is also an older instrument, the playing characteristics will depend on the specific piano and its condition. At this price the Broadwood offers a more historically significant name and a beautiful walnut cabinet. We are happy to let you compare all three in our showroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a Broadwood piano a good investment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed British pianos with genuine heritage like Broadwood have generally held their value better than anonymous instruments. As the supply of well-preserved examples diminishes, demand from collectors and heritage-minded buyers tends to support prices. That said, we always recommend buying for musical enjoyment first. A Broadwood in a beautiful cabinet at this price is a very attractive proposition on both grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHas this piano been checked before sale?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

These instruments were built with quality materials and craftsmanship, and with regular tuning, correct placement, and periodic attention from a technician, they can remain musically rewarding for a very long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Broadwood \u0026 Sons","offers":[{"title":"Walnut \/ Satin \/ TBC","offer_id":49511723434260,"sku":"4920","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/0335\/1316\/files\/A2513513-C23C-4237-AB20-71488BCEBE98.jpg?v=1730297704","url":"https:\/\/www.thepianogallery.co.uk\/products\/john-broadwood-1","provider":"The Piano Gallery Online Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
