Buying a Used Piano? Europe's Largest Collection

Looking to buy a second-hand piano? Discover Europe's Largest Collection of Used Pianos

A good second-hand piano can be a fantastic choice. Whether you are looking for an affordable first piano, a high-quality top European instrument, or a fully restored piano that plays like new again, at Bol Piano's you will find one of the largest collections of used pianos in Europe.

As largest piano shop in Europe We continuously maintain a huge stock of second-hand pianos in various price ranges, styles, and finishes. From affordable entry-level models to exclusive concert-worthy instruments from the most prestigious piano brands in the world.

Why Choose a Second-hand Piano?

Many pianists discover that a used acoustic piano often offers more playing enjoyment than a digital piano within the same budget. For the price of many digital pianos, you can become the owner of a real acoustic piano with natural tone shaping, mechanical touch, and an authentic playing experience.

Moreover, many used pianos were built at a time when high-quality materials and artisanal production methods were the standard. As a result, these instruments can last for decades, provided they are well maintained.

New or Second-hand Piano?

Many people looking for a piano automatically look at a new instrument. However, in many cases, a used piano can be a particularly interesting alternative.

For the same budget as a new entry-level piano, you can sometimes opt for a used piano from a higher quality class. Consider, for example, a European quality instrument with a richer sound, more refined mechanics, and a character that has developed over decades.

That does not mean that used is always better than new. Both have their own advantages. Ultimately, it is about which instrument best suits your wishes, playing style, and budget.

That is precisely why comparing is so important. In our showrooms, you can play both new and used pianos side by side and experience for yourself which piano inspires you the most.

What Should You Look For in a Used Piano?

When purchasing a used piano, many people look at the age of the instrument first. However, age often tells only a small part of the story.

A well-maintained fifty-year-old piano can sometimes be in better condition than a much younger instrument that has been played intensively for years or poorly maintained.

Important factors include:

Maintenance history

Has the piano been regularly tuned and maintained? Good maintenance often has more influence on its condition than age alone.

Playfulness

Every piano feels different. The touch and the mechanism must feel comfortable and suit your playing style.

Sound character

Just as with new pianos, personal taste remains the most important factor. Some pianists seek a warm, romantic sound, while others prefer a clear and powerful tone.

Technical Condition

The condition of parts such as hammer heads, strings, dampers, mechanism, and soundboard significantly determines the quality of a piano.

Restoration and Overhaul

Many used pianos have been partially or fully restored over the years. A professional overhaul can bring an instrument back to top technical and cosmetic condition.

At Bol Piano's, every used piano is carefully inspected, regulated, and, where necessary, overhauled by our own piano technicians. This allows you to choose from our range of used instruments with confidence. Additionally, our used pianos come with a warranty, ensuring you have an instrument in excellent technical condition.

From Affordable Outlet Pianos to Top European Brands

Our selection ranges from competitively priced used pianos to exclusive top European instruments.

Outlet Pianos

Are you looking for an affordable first piano? Then our outlet pianos are an excellent choice. These instruments offer an accessible entry point for beginning pianists and often form an attractive alternative to a digital piano.

For a comparable budget, you enjoy the benefits of a real acoustic piano.

Top European Instruments

In addition, at Bol Piano's you will regularly find beautiful used pianos from renowned brands such as:

✔️ C. Bechstein

These instruments combine craftsmanship, character, and musical quality at the highest level.

Cosmetically Restored Pianos

Some used pianos are still technically excellent but show signs of wear on the outside. These instruments often receive a complete cosmetic makeover in our workshop.

Depending on the model, activities may consist of:

✔️ Completely repainting the cabinetry

✔️ Renewal of the assessment framework

✔️ Replacing decorative felts

✔️ Polishing of all brass parts

✔️ Repair of damage and veneer work

This results in a beautiful piano that will last for many more years, both technically and visually.

Our refurbished Yamaha pianos are among the most popular instruments in our range. These pianos are not only cosmetically refurbished, but fully overhauled.

What is being renewed?

✔️ High-gloss polyester lacquer on the entire cabinetry

✔️ New key topping

✔️ New coat of lacquer on the soundboard

✔️ Overhaul of mechanism and gaming table

✔️ Repair or replacement of strings and hammer heads

✔️ Replacement of all feltwork

✔️ Renewal of cores

Why Comparing Is So Important

You do not choose a used piano based on photos or specifications alone. Every piano has its own character, timbre, and playability.

That is precisely why comparing is essential. In our showrooms, you can play dozens of used pianos side by side. This allows you to discover which piano best suits your musical preferences and budget.

As largest piano shop in Europe we offer comparison options that are virtually unavailable anywhere else.

We believe that a good piano is not necessarily the most expensive piano, but the piano that inspires you to play every single day.
